Guys, have a question. If you enter with the minimum lot, once the price reach at least 1:1 RR ratio of profit or more, would you consider to exit, moved SL to BE/1:1 TP, or hold? It seems like if i hold until it turned losses, that's a bad trade management isnt it?
QUOTE(hehe86 @ Aug 17 2016, 09:25 PM)
Meaning if i risk 50pips, currently in the money more than 50 pips say, 70 pips, so what is the best way to manage the SL
Yea i also think that at least move to Breakeven when that happens. Need to train on this. Ego tends to kick in "Either let me win alot or just hit my SL"

babe.. if your RR =1:1 and u feel like want more .. let say now is profit 50 pip.. n u think still can profit till 100pip.. then please use TS 30pip.. so when it retrace 30pips and automatically close... u still have 20pip in hand..

thanks for the advice. Sounds good, better than BE. is there any percentage you used? TS 30 pips, something like 60% of risk? Example, risk 50pips, current price > 50 pips, so TS = 60% of 50 pips = 30 pips?
QUOTE(hehe86 @ Aug 18 2016, 03:18 PM)
Yea i know, i'm not aiming for 1:1, at least 1:2. But the question is, let say u risk 50 pips, now earning >50 pips, say 70 pips, so would you still maintain your SL of 50 pips, or would you do something like at least use TS or moved to BE instead of worse possible scenario hit your sl of 50 pips?

depend on yourself....
sometimes i move SL to entry or let SL stay at the same and i partial close my lot size let's say maybe after 50-60 pips if i aim for 100-120pips...

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?
