QUOTE(AllnGap @ Dec 8 2016, 10:12 PM) those interest rate related announcement better stay away 2 days before it. Ahh, and here i thought any news best to avoid 30 mins before and after then only decide the trade... hmmmsometimes they 'prepare' the movement for a few days before the real move comes. sometimes the central bankers will "manage" (aka manipulate) them. i observe many times their announcement will cause a big swing, usually they will shift it away to prevent that swing from breaking key levels that they dunt wanna break. can manipulate for a few days wan |

Just found out that although most of the brokers closed during weekend, the interbanks still trade during the weekend. Can check the pairs in yahoo finance during weekend though is delayed by 15mins.
e.g: http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GBPUSD=X?p=GBPUSD=X Just for sharing since i just found out bout this. :slowpoke: |

Any trend following trader here? Wanna ask if you want to let your profit run, which means you don't have tp, so how do you maintain RR at least 1:2?

QUOTE(cmk96 @ Jan 17 2017, 11:24 PM) Many years ago... i used trailing stops... then i realized market don't move in the same speed all the time... not to mention the need for VPS to monitor the trades. Yea currently using trail stops too. But not sure bout the at least 1:2 RR. Let say now i got profit double of my risk, then eventually the price starts to fall back and maybe even fall back near to my initial entry since the condition to use trail stop is not there yet. If you are unsure when to close a trade. Look at the higher timeframe. The clue is there. Maybe to even have 1:2 RR is not really trend following method? Since once you ride the big trend, the reward can be huge |

QUOTE(troller2 @ Jan 18 2017, 02:37 AM) Thanks for the feedback!QUOTE(AllnGap @ Jan 18 2017, 08:29 AM) trailing stops is a fixed number, cant be used because daily volatility is different. Mitigate multi lot meaning taking partial profit?too small, will hit easily, too big then cant accumulate pips. every currency pips volatility is different, very pening mitigate this by multi-lot / see daily/weekly important levels. |

QUOTE(AllnGap @ Jan 18 2017, 01:25 PM) split into 2 lot. TP 1st lot. 2nd lot no trail just let it go. Yea currently will tp partially. So i guess is similar with splitting 2 lots right? Provided i want to maintain same risk %.or u may want to triple lot whack near ur entry when it really pullback to that area because sometimes might retest a few times. especially if that area never got pullback before. sometimes it just engulfing fly up, those are the ones that will retest because big banks never got the chance to buy at low or at breakout I asked this scenario to see is there a better way to manage the position for others |

QUOTE(AllnGap @ Jan 18 2017, 05:11 PM) are you trading breakout ? Usually breakout. Yea gonna stick with that method and reenter then.if u enter right after the breakout, then the probability of a pullback is very high. lets say the breakout happened during london time, then during US session, they'll push it back to get a better price. or if the breakout happened during US time, the next day during London session, the pullback will happen. if so, better TP right after the breakout, then during pullback re-enter again. so u breakout trader or a pullback wan QUOTE(demolationz @ Jan 18 2017, 05:41 PM) Hints on higher timeframe. Whether its supply or demand. Yea gonna at least partially close if hit 1:2 first. and see how my results go. ThanksBut, if you want to trade simple way. I guess, partial close will be good enough.
