Sidenote... Jacko trading? — Just wanted to note here that last night I setup this chart with a downward trendline drawn close to close, a fib and s/r lines. I also had a little arrow signaling short at 1.3020. I haven't taken this as a trade ...

Short 1.3020? — Hi, I'm not certain how Jacko draws trendlines (high to high, close to close etc) so I don't know if this is appropriate or not!? However, I have a trendline here on the 4 hour chart drawn on the close which coincides with a ...

Hi, I just set my s/l 100 pips away and use MT4's trailing stop loss set at 100. However I only use this as a last resort as once the position is up 100 pips I think the stop moves every time the position goes positive by another pip which is not ...

Hi Sten, Thanks for your questions, hopefully this will help: Mostly I will move my stoploss manually every 100 pips. So I don't move to breakeven until the trade is at +100 pips. I then move my stop manually every time price moves 100 pips ...

27 January 2009 — No entries today due to strong bullish momentum this morning. Currently still favouring a short bias on E/U and G/U so I'm out for the moment until I get confirmation of price moving back down - or something happens to change ...
