It's a set-up but UJ is behaving kind of strangely today (check out the PA on the H4 and Daily time-frames).

I was not fast enough to put my SL at BE+1 when it went to +5. But, price went to +7 fast afterwards and I decided to close it for a nice profit.

10 trades Challenge Total Pips = +42

I agree that's why I did not wanted to stay too long in the market. Your post throughout the thread have been valuable to me lemercenaire

Thank you - I genuinely appreciate that.

I escaped a close-out by a hair and have locked in +10 at the moment.

EDIT: That's me out. +10

USDCHF - Nice opportunity turned into profit... Out @ +5.6.

But I feel like I am too eager to get out. I am used to scalp small profit(and take huge SL). Stopping my habit of huge SL has not been that hard but letting the market do it's thing is hard. Any comments are appreciated.

Now you see why the TP issue leads to so much consideration between those of us trading HOLO!

Good thing is that moving our stops to BE+ is included in HOLO.

I realize getting in at those extreme can lead to a great run. So I guess the best I can do is resist the temptation of closing manually and let a trailing stop being it. Then again, probably only if the market is moving like a rocket.

As has been noted previously, Hal's concept of closing 80% at BE+5 and letting the rest run, is certainly worthy of consideration. Certainly the simplest of the alternative trade-management methods and quickest to implement.
