Have you got a daily target for the number of points u wish to take in a day? eg 30? 20? 50? and then stop trading if you hit this?

Thanks

hi Jeffray,

this setup was mainly based on pivot-point (+bollinger bands + sma 100 + linear regression + macd):

after two days with big gains in dax, i thought it was time for a decrease. so i looked for an entry with a good risk-reward ratio. i always enter the market with limit, sl and tp. sl, tp is in general -10/+30. the last order was also aiming at S1.

in addition, i try so sell the daily low -1 and buy the daily high +1 with the same rr-parameters.

i also use an event-driven approach (f.e. cable, votes caused a spike, made 30 pips in a minute - but this kind of trade is impossible to post before, takes me longer to write than to trade)

no, i don´t have a daily target. i´m happy as long as i make 100 dax-points the week on average (+pips in gbpusd/eurusd). it´s more in fast moving markets, especially with high impact news - and less when volatility is low.

Thanks.I have a weekly target of around 100 points as well.

On the other side of the coin- do you have a limit where you stop trading for the day if it is going badly? eg - 30 points etc..??

Thanks

Nope, I'd look at pullbacks as opportunities to buy for the time being

I think you demonstrate the ideal mental approach to trading which a lot of people could benefit from on ff, although personally I think you could reduce your number of losses by timing your trades better, but that's not the point. You have a target each week and a strategy you trust, and as long as you reach that you are perfectly happy to take the losses, which, anyone will tell you, is how successful trading is done.

Nice 30 pips there! No, I shorted this morning getting out on the H2 200sma which has come in underneath the price since last week, which for me is support, but I was snoozing for this buy opportunity, I'm a much better trader during the morning, concentration suffers pm and I tend to get careless. Green pips though which is all that counts.

S&P --> Sell limit @1981.75
Dow --> Sell limit @16934

when the above conditions are reached then :

Dax --> Sell @ Market
The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.
