Disliked{quote} Break even is to not lose any money on the trade. If the pair goes in your favor by X amount of pips, you move the SL to break even. You can't set a stop loss of 175 pips until that pair has reached and gone beyond 175 pips. I think we need more of an explanation from you of where and when you set a stop loss.Ignored

Then make an EA with those settings or rules and forward test it and you will see. you can not take the trader out of the method or system. If this...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi iamsovereign; I completely agree with you, on the point of, over tweaking a Method to wring as much profit from it as possible. Like, Xavier has said back testing can give you a good feel for how a Method behaves. I think everyone is trying to make the Method fit them individually, which isn't a bad thing. I'm definitely moving towards Trading Fractal Breaks in conjunction with the Type of Candle/s that setup a Trade. I also like the 1:1 R:R, I know it goes against the usual philosophy of allowing your winners to run, but I feel it suits...Ignored
