{quote} Do you usually move your sl as soon as you're in profit? or do you have a different technique?
sorry that i am answering question not posted to me, but i usually move SL to breakeven after small profit so i can lock "free" trade if market goes against. Then i am moving stoploss for example when price break resistance for 200 pips, i move SL little bit under support (previous resistance) and in this way i am trailing profit.

{quote} Gator, in this example which do you call a norm - it is a/b or it is c? Thanks
Looking at your last example with 1.0963, it seems that the norm is a/b. 1.0963 is the norm of the move 0461/1459.
However if we are looking at the larger move 0461/1712 its norm (1086) was already hit and may be we are now in a bullish setup so the norm 0963 will never be hit?
If we go below 1086 now, does this invalidate the bullish setup?

Thanks

Makes sense. I promise everytime I try it I get taken out for BE When I couldve been up +50 pips. It's frustrating lol

{quote} example may be developing at 1158. that's if and only if its bullish.. some support may be provided at 1154.6 area.. i am not saying its bullish. 1209 held atm. no close above
day close and London roll, was higher than yesterday and London. 1209 has a very good shot at being tested. if it holds the high at 1212.x and doesn't close above 1209. it will probably be rejected near the current high. even if it does break that high, it has a decent chance of coming back to 1158 min.. odds are bearish or bullish, it will come back to 1158 before 1321.. break that high and 1320 has a shot if it can close above 1209.

if one trades that b/o. with a long.. be prepared to have a 1158 drawdown

If you are taken at BE after +50 pips you are a) either wrong when it retraces back for 50 pips, b) move stoploss at lease +10 pips from open price, so BE is small profit. Even small profits counts to your basket

{quote} I forgot. The greed to put the profit in the pocket was supported by the fact that: We reached 0.236 of the Whole SwingDown (green) and the 0.382 of the midswing (red) Plus it is the 0.382 of the previous Swing High (blue). A cluster of resistences. I think it will retrace 0,618 or 0.786.or maybe 100% or even making a new low as stop washing for the longs. If the resistence will be broken without retracement... well I think it will fly like a rocket to the next target. But I would quote it 1 to 7. {image} {image}
Thanks for your precious effort buddy. Nice food for brain you shared. Let's just don't go too far yet. We will patiently watch what happens at retrace level 50% to 61.8% (1.1155 to 1.1145) zone. Step by step

Happy Trades

Well yea BE+1 is usually what I do.. This only happens when I try to hold a trade for several days. I've been trying to work on my long term trading for a couple weeks now.. haven't had much "Real" success with it yet though. lol Im not the best at entering trades, but I still get reasonable prices. My Biggest thing is SL & when to TP

It happens to me a lot of times, but when i angry that i end up with +1 profit from +50 when i was starting to trady i put new same order when my BE were hit. But 9 from 10 times it continues against me , so learn one thing if you hit BE , 9 from 10 times it has reason, and there is strong probability for retrace to continue. Usually after BE hit i watch couple hours/days and enter new trade later, but never change buy to sell and vice versa after BE. It means your opinion was wrong, take a break a enter on very different level than your initial trade.

correct.
no
i gave basics.. some more advanced setups i left out. i just gave when to wait for a trade depending on what you want to gain. many will be against larger setups.. so u will have to find your personnel twist..some are better than others.. i just gave one.. near 1212 w/o going over, may get u stopped out on a short. but with the closes indicating those highs have a good shot of being tested. you can set up something on a small scalp like tf.. you have to be willing to take the small loss in hopes of the larger gain. once a hh is made.. u may wait for 1320 before shorting again. or look for a long if it tires after making that hh near 1158..or lower.. w/o a LL.. 0964 is a norm..between 0963x and 14xx high you mentioned is 1208/09... before this they are on a 7 year old chart long before this year made 1209 anything most see now as well as 0964..

a/b a retrace.. c a possible target on b/o.. past b.. after wait for a/b once again before entering or less up to a w/o passing it. if you use indies.. try to get agreement..

{quote} Protecting the margin and to avoid winning trade to losing trade before hit target. No, not suggesting anything as we all do things differently. For example; this trade below is on monthly chart - it will take months to years before reaching target - while waiting, there's no guarantee it will not come back against me resulting in loss if no stop is placed. {image}

Dude, just a suggestion; Its time to withdraw your profits before you blow your account with over-leveraging. 150% profit on your first day of trading new account is nothing less than hitting a jackpot.
