where to take profit?

How does everyone decide to TP? Fixed amount? Some kind of indicator? Time elapsed? Price action?

I personally am experimenting with a MACD set to 24,52,18. Once it starts to slope the opposite way I close the trade. Although, even that does not work consistently and I do not use it all the time.

Just wondering.

Indicators dont work during news.

What TP to have? Check history. If history shows a particular news will move 20 pips only, then dont bother going beyond 75% of that.

For example: today's UK Trade Balance, I recommended 5 pips distance and 15+ TP... it should hit the spot!

How I know 15 TP? historic charts says so.

IF you're looking for a TP level, when trading trending conditions, it's almost always at key resistance levels, and previous highs/lows. I generally go back about 1 year and keep a note of all the possible levels, and I closely watch those levels.
