Do you succeed to define a reasonable SL for the basket

Tell you what has got me thinking is the virtual thing. Say a basket is 300 down/up then time to buy/sell.

High folks. As noted above, my DZ choice for the day was EJ. I also did take a second trip back down through the zone, though I almost missed it, it turned so fast. Anyway, 90% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

Hope you got some of that stunning UC action, Mr-T and didn't leave it all for TS .

I don't think that will happen as most retailers use market makers so money never goes near the real markets anyway.

I just comeback to the original solution .... no tight SL on the basket ....
and i agree there is something to look at for scaling-in the basket , i'm willing to risk 10% of equity for every 500 ticks ....seems to be reasonable starting point as i dont have enough data yet to confirm 500 ticks as a base risk .but i guess the reality will be between 350 and 500 ticks ...
This morning only 2 currency open out of 8 ... (G/U and U/Chf)

Today's trading results:

  1. EURGBP FB +4.3 pips
    Another clean trade. Price went straight up. I was late, so my entry was a bit late. Targeted 5 pips above FB high. Was willing to counter at FB low.


EURGBP M15

Like SFX said, The Frankenbreak went off like a bat out of hell this morning - no time even to get a brew on, for Pete's sake - how uncivilised!

Very small range and that can be a pain with whipping but not today.

I have a meeting set for this morning, so won't be going in on anything else for now. Hopefully done-and-dusted for The Dead Zone but will just have to suck it and see.

Trade well, all.

Time for that brew...

Absolutely gubbed after a day from hell dealing with the random crap that (non-trading) life tends to throw at you. That, combined with the scheduled red news in the arvo, meant that I was in no mood whatsoever to trade anything after the Frankenbreak this morning.

However for the record here's how the pairs played out across The Dead Zone.

Catch you back fresh tomorrow.
