Batch 4

Trade 4

Eur/Usd D1 Short

DS1
S1. Slow to start then it headed off, only to bounce before my TP and end at BE.
Immy once I have finished my 5 batches can these be manually stopped out when you can see the trend has changed so you get out with some profit?
I have a few of these that take days to get going, then take off only to not reach target and bounce all the way back to BE.
I understand BE is a no cost trade, but it would be nice to get something out of them?
I understand you would need to have a rule for this and place it in your plan.

End result was BE

R result to date for this batch: 0R

DS score for batch: 3/4

Overall total R score: (all batches) +17R

Yes,

There is great lesson in this. The Market will through at you "the nasty yorkers and bouncers" from time to time. You have to duck and dig to stay IN.

The EUR/USD D1 short trade had tricked @acceleratum as well. He was holding on to it and it turn around on him. Its one of those, do you bring in "manual" intervention or do you let it run?

So in stage 3, you will add a few tricks of the trade into the mix. e.g. If the trade has gone 1.75 or round about that level in my favour. do I let it come back all the way to BE? Nope, what yo ucan do is to day, if A TRADE goes near 1.8 R and it throws a PB or an OB like in this chart, a FRUIT in other words, and it has shown angle going away from gator, I will either TRADE CANDLES or move SL to plus 1R. :)

hope this helps.
