my expetise is on EU

personal comment

I would do CADJPY it has narrowing triangle and possible to move down to
I would not AUDJPY it is almost break up

no guarantee.

first time in my life I opened those charts. believe me.

I have a question for you guys, do you think this is shortable ? Sometimes i had it before, and it either went short 60% of case. But 40% price has been pushed upper by far. I can't really determine a rule in order to go short or not, on thos patterns. Any thoughts ?

Well i cannot attach picture. Please one look at CADJPY or AUDJPY 1H

EURUSD is the needle of the compass.
all other pairs are the derivitives of EU.

oh im not moaning!! no not at all!! :) quite the opposite, has been a GOOD day today :)

i trade multiple small bets, which means my broker makes quite alot of commission from me, but if market moves against me i do not loose so much so easy so the 815 pips are actually a market move of 160 pips or so if you understand??

:)

EDIT so no where near as good as your 500 pip single trade!!

I got it. You use some kind of bot... not the whole of the move 815 pips but a lot of small trades for few pips, right? the more volatility the more you pick pips.

no quite right

the 815 pips are from multiple manual trades today size 0.01 to 0.08,

reason for doing it this way, is ive been burnt twice recently by putting 0.4 bets down in one go, so now i split them up and put bets down whilst watching the market moves.

i do use an EA along side my manual trades, the ea currently is around 1500- pips, not good! looking for eur to sell now to get EA out of trouble, if market pushes above 1.3 i will hedge it further, all hedge bets where removed @1.3 temporarily

lucky as ive had a operation 3 weeks ago and are off work so have time to manually adjust multiple manual trades all day :)

today Ive manually done around 16 trades in the last 160 pip market moves, adding all the pips up comes to the 815+ pips

for example, the 3 sells there are
0.02 @1.985
0.03 @1.2994
0.05 @1.2999

totaling 0.09, now i used to put the whole 0.9 down in one, but if market went against i lose the full 0.9@SL

so i put in a small bet, and see if it goes the right way then keep adding to it in small increments,

does this explain it any better?

I used this logic on one of my Ea which has good back test results for 13 years at daily & 1hr chart.
So I mean you do it correct way. You can find bt at strategies under my profile. Cant remember the name now.

how you determine your sl.
For each basket
Same for all which is the first executed order?
Or individual?

how you determine your sl.
>there is no one rule, stop loss is determined mostly on technical analysis of recent market moves paired with known support/resistance / fib lines + guesswork lol

Same for all which is the first executed order?
Or individual?
>they all start with an individual SL, for a 0.05 i try to keep it within a max of @30 pips, @ 0.02 ill push the SL to a max of 60 pips. bigger trades = tighter stop loss.

if the market moves +20 pips after the trade is placed, and market is in a trend, i will often move SL to break even instantly, when market is ranging i keep stop loss where initially placed,

if market moves further say another +30 pips, so +50 pips total i will align all SL to match each other say at +20 and adjust as i go.

TP i usually have two targets and split it between them.

for example the setup earlier looks like:


1st trade 0.05 @1.2999 [email protected] [email protected]
2nd trade 0.03 @1.2994 [email protected] [email protected]
final trade 0.02 @1.2985 [email protected] TP None
