You use naked chart or indi?

Naked. Some horizontal/trend lines and candlestick/price pattern lo. Few recent trades, entered, reached my 1:1, but not my 1:2, then retrace and hit my SL. So dunno how to improve on this area

You can create 2 orders

1. Once you reach your tp (let's say 30 pip)  and tp hit, take it
2. Once it hit like 15 pip, you can move your sl and tp higher. If it continues to move up again, change again. Don't use trailing stop. Change it manually
*
So what you meant is if my tp is 30 pips, if hit half of it, have to adjust the SL already ya?

I'm seeing JPY also follow suit. Is it everytime USD got interest rate news, JPY will follow? A correlation?

For those who use simple Support/Resistance breakout strategy, how do you reduce/avoid fake breakout probability?

Biggest obstacle for a trader is not the market but himself.

You can't do shit on the market, just yourself and the system

What is yourself ?
1. Discipline
2. Pain tolerance
3. Money management
4. Stress management

System
1. Technical base
2. Fundamental
3. Both

Knowledge to turn your psychology of a normal person to become a trader however is not available. Lol

Nice, pain tolerance. I think that's the hardest lol.

BOC BOJ habis. JPY volatility habis. So FOMC ECB and BOE incoming.

No active trades avoid entry? Or wait to attack once trigger your setup?

Why suddenly become a maths class? I just want to learn to earn some pips only le. I until now still doing demo and stopped a period of time without any consistency. Guess I am not suitable for forex after all

hmm.gif demo, how long you been doing it already? Did you track your performance by maybe doing journaling? What method are you using? Sometimes by using one method and you're in a losing streak doesn't mean the method is useless. Most importantly is the method that you used make sense to you and suits you. Then you have to keep using the same method over and over without much error to know the method's performance

Hmmm having a SL is better than having none at all i think. As for slippage, let say you hold a long position over weekend, and when the market reopens, it gapped down way past you SL, in this scenario, your broker can only try their best to get the best price as they can isnt it? So slippage is unavoidable in this scenario?

hmm.gif well the reason i found thru mr.google is forex has no centralized market. hence the volume used would not be accurate
