Hi TooSlow,

Not trading myself at the moment but reading your thread with great interest and hopefully I'll have some time to demo trade your strategy in the near future.
Do you have any rules regarding how late in a trading day you would open a trade?
Just asking because of the USDCAD chart you posted as with my broker I only have two more candles before the start of a new trading day.
Thanks for your willingness to help!!!

Welcome trader-f1.
No exact rules.
More important to be trading the pairs which best fit the session you are trading.

In this case, usdcad at low of day.
Looking for a "bounce".

{quote} 7 BE+1 that is great.
Well, for a start - but I am wondering how to convert this into some profit
I am tempted to:
Limit SL to some 6..7 pips, 10 at the most because of a relatively poor R/R ratio, certainly with a trailing stop.
TP at 10 pips (maybe even 5??).
Unfortunately, these things can only be decided statistically after some 2000+ trades over 10 (low spread) pairs; I bet this is how you came up with your exit strategy?

7 pips IS PROFIT!
Small position and large pips is how most traders trade.
Large position and small pips is how some traders trade.
What would happen is you traded the max position size your account balance would allow and you gained 7 pips?
What would the percent return be?
You would get margined out whenever you let the trade run against you without stops.

If you gain 7 pips with 7 *BE+1 you hardly gain anything due to the commission.
Why would I let run a trade without stops?

Took this trade at 16.13 EST (4.13 pm) towards the end of the NY session. This is the 5 min chart to illustrate the trade better.

NZDUSD short.

It gave me 16 pips and I am very proud!

TooSlow thank you for explaining your exit strategy in detail. I am not sure if I am ready for all this multi time frame juggling. :-)

But I can clearly see you give your trailing some space when the market allows. Let the winners run....

Depends on your broker.
Find one with no commission or low commission.
Those 7 pips should be all yours.

Take profit by moving stop.
When trade is +5 or more, move stop to BE+1.
When trade is +10 or more, move to to BE+5, or switch to trailing stop.
Optional exit is to exit part of trade position with a profit to bank it, move stop to BE+1 and watch the market.

Surest way to make a thread with LOTS of posts very quickly? Make it a scalping one. BE +1 at 3 pips and trail.

You've given up on linear regression already? Get those shirts ironed
