the only advise i could give from my newbies perspective is to do a proper analysis before you go with your entry and trust your analysis. if you want to swing, stop using ts. ts will ruin analysis even if your analysis were actually on your favor. you can use use different tf to confirm a reversal then manually exit a position with acceptable confirmation.

Appreciate your comments/advise. Thanks.

SL is a must. as i always say, with proper risk management and money management, SL will not burst account although there might be slight losses. You need to understand and accept the fact that losses are normal in financial trading. What matters most is you are in the gain zone in the overall.

Sound like you want to play swing and earn more pips from your trade... I never set stop loss.  Most ppl will not agree on this. Forex is tough... it will shake up those who are not confident enough in their trade... and the trend resume to your initial direction after awhile. My advise is...be patience.

Thanks for your advise, especially on PATIENCE.

No, I am not a swing trader but more of a position trader. I tried to ride the trend as far as it can go.

My initial SL was set about 145 pips away from my entry level. When profit was around 85 pips I set Trailing Stop @ 75 pips. After that I left the trade running since I was protected by my Trailing Stop.

Maybe I should have adjusted the SL to breakeven entry price instead of using Trailing Stop. Any comment?

After going thro' your trades on GBP/JPY I noticed some of your earlier entries experienced a "temporary" drawdown as much as -175 pips. But ultimately all went well. Now I can appreciate what you mean by "BE PATIENCE".

Thank you so much for the screenshot.

@cmk96 Look like you have your SL at your Capital, good trade
Can teach me how to pyramid/add position to trade?
I still learning that but not easy

@Pinnacle1295 Not sure you have mutiple lots or 1 , with multiple lot you can have different TP , but there must be a TP instead of letting the price run especially when intraday trading , example Normal Daily movement was around 60pips <( i not sure )
so You should have Max60pips of Profit or take half away from that because a reverse was high probability to reverse, else you can wait for a signal or pattern to quit , hope you get it ( it was just a idea, your plan should include much more things to be consider ), yes i was thinking of TAKING ALL OUT before but it was not possible and every professional will tell you that the Market are not going to Zero. not a pro here just my opinion - still demo trading

Trailing Stop was a kind of TP , and you did it with a profit. But seem like not happy with it, maybe it does not suit you. maybe because it cant/never give you the top and bottom price to quit but that was what trailing stop will do.
*
I likes your suggestion.

Maybe in future I should PT half my position & let the other half ride the trend until taken out by the Trailing Stop.

AUD/USD... WEEKLY CHART

BULLISH BREAKOUT

The uptrend will start and will last for next few weeks. The previous lows @ 0.6900 and the Trendline Support are placed at the same levels. The Risk Reward is much better for a long trade now.
------------------------------
BUY AUD/USD
@ 0.6930 / SL 0.6880 / TP 0.7080 - 0.7180

Enjoy and Good luck

Hmmmm ...... Interesting analysis but I am bearish on AUD/USD on long-term.

Becos of BULLISH news for AUD (Employment Change & Unemployment Rate) coupled with BEARISH news for USD (Unemployment Claims) yesterday.

But for long-term I am still bearish on AUD/USD.

I try to find entry that at least give me profit/loss ratio about 1:1, but higher percentage of win (more than 50% success rate). Need to study the chart a lot. flex.gif

2 questions if you don't mind .....

(1) On what timeframe do you analyse the charts,

(2) Can you elaborate on profit/loss (risk/reward) 1:1
LOSS (risk) can calculated based on entry price & SL price but how do you calculate PROFIT (reward).

Thanks.

(1) I use mainly H1 and H4. Use fibo, wait price reach 138% extension, the i wait the previous support resistance break to confirm entry for medium trend reversal.

(2) Are you asking how to calculate the profit or where to take profit? To calculate how much you will profit it is the same as calculate how much you will lose. Ex. 0.01 lot, TP 34pip, usd0.1 *34=usd3.4 profit.

If you're asking where to take profit, i just set it to same amount of pips as i use for stoploss, minus the spread. The exact take profit is hard to pinpoint.
*
Yes, what I meant was WHERE to take profit. Otherwise there is no way to calculate the risk-reward ratio.

And I agree with you that the exact take profit is hard to pinpoint.

Since you mentioned you just set it to same amount of pips as the stop-loss, meaning the risk-reward 1:1 doesn't have much meaning, right? Some traders may set their profit level at resistance (if BUY) or support (if SELL) which I think are more meaningful when you calculate the risk-reward ratio. Risk-reward ratio are being used by trader to justify whether to take that particular trade or not.

Thanks for your feedback.

Oh I see. I'm not sure how to word my explanation properly. But my calculation for stop loss is the same for take profit.

user posted image

I find a pattern as the same in screenshot (H1 audusd). Draw fibo from point A to B (high low), if price reach C (138% fibo ext), i wait H1 close break the Close price near point A (0.6967) entry at that price. SL an TP is amount of pips move from A to B (64pip). TP i always deduct the spread. so SL & TP is 64 pips away from 0.6967.

Correct! Prices are normally quoted in 5 decimal places. For YEN associated pairs, they are quoted in 3 decimal places.

This trade is specifically for long-term so any initial drawdown not going to affect me. I used W1 with 20EMA for long-term trend outlook.
I try to BUY on pullback towards to 20EMA. The price may move sideways in D1 chart so need a lot of patience.

You need to be more specific on the ebook titles.
I don't want to waste time uploading/emailing unnecessary ebook that may not be your preference.
