Hello Too Slow, yes I took the CHF trade it just looked so good, thanks for the head up. I moved my stop to BE+1 and as usually happens I got stopped. But not to complain +1 is still +1 and not -12. However the trade of course continues on its merry way. Now about +15.

My question is should I be adding a couple of pips to that stop when I move it as I always get confused with spreads and how that works when moving my stops. That is why I have been just selling off at +5 and letting the trade run until it reverses.

If you exit enough position you can leave the stop where it is as if it was BE and capture the whole move maybe adding in later. But at this point you are just trading. Just some thoughts.

Thanks wannalearn12 , makes sense, and probably pips. That CHF trade ran about 30 pips. I am still in the earlier EJ, GJ. It's up about 80, I think I will move my stop up to BE+79.

Hi guys,

Thanks for this thread TooSlow. The information is great, however I have a quick question and would be grateful if someone could help as I am keen to get this.

In the original post it mentions simply placing a buy when a bar fails to make a lower low than the previous bar and then the price rises above the open of the current bar and vice versa for a sell. However in more recent posts it mentions that the current bar needs to test the high/low of the previous bar and then you enter the trade when the price comes back and passes the open of the current bar.
Is someone able to clarify this please?
Thanks in advance
