QUOTE(luqmanz @ Feb 17 2011, 03:07 PM) For simplicity .. you can try aiming for 1:2 ... if your TP is 40 pips ... then SL is 20 pips ... tq... i will try that. sometimes when your pip value is high it makes me feel i m wasting that value of money for stop loss which actually make me loose even more.. that i noticed..   |

QUOTE(luqmanz @ Feb 17 2011, 03:26 PM) For starter ... the value of your SL shouldnt be more than 1% of your account ... noted.. i will practice thatE.g SL = 20 pips Pip value = 0.01 * account size / 20 |

QUOTE(maxforce @ Feb 17 2011, 04:46 PM) I do not follow the 1% rule. that is what i do but sometimes the capital does not allow u to hold and i get frustrated...I have a slightly varying idea of stops. 1. I do not set stop loss in the system. I execute the stop manually. 2. I do not have stops which is 20-30 pips as the way I view the fx market is that 20-30 pips is usually a mere "noise" That said, perhaps it is because I am a position trader. I take a longer viewpoint with higher holding power, hence I must tolerate movements of sometimes a few hundred pips.

QUOTE(kevler @ Feb 19 2011, 11:47 AM) waiting for next week movement he he saya sudah kena kaw kaw... anyway what luqmanz and billy said is true.. wasting 20 - 30 pips is better than to loose the big some like what had happen to me for the third time and i promised my self not to do that again...kita lihat siapa yang kena :-) i do understand the feeling of loosing money especially for those have high value per pip but again.. i do not have that big holding power... hopefully next week i will be a better person and start making money.. |

QUOTE(AllnGap @ Feb 22 2011, 03:35 PM) EU's long term trend is on the south side, you'll see triple tail on weekly chart. noticed and learning that. thank you... but emotion is killing so does my capital with the 160 up...the Friday's gain is totally due to news move, 160pips up.....so it should continue south this week. |

QUOTE(maxforce @ Feb 22 2011, 08:00 PM) The moment you ask "What happened?" then you re either a fundamentalist or a news trader. to be honest ... i dont know what i am yet.. coz i used everything even pivot... your statement regards to pivot.. anything wrong with that?But then, if you re using pivot as your main tool... |
