Method question

Unread post by msk185 »

Hi

I was wondering what the recommendation is with regard to trading when other levels like the 5, 15 or 60 are close by and how close is close?

I know that if the 5 min level is close, say less than 4-5 pips then I should set my order below/ above the 5 min level, but wht if the level is say 7or 8 pips away, is this a trade worth taking or should we wait for the level to be broken?

I ask as I feel I am taking a lot of losses when price is reversing off one of these levels.

Thanks

Mike

I think I answered this question inadvertently in your journal during the time you were writing it here. The Universe is All United! we transmit onto others what we think about, indeed.

Hi Immy

Yes you did thanks there was 7 pips between the levels but less than 5 with spread, Grant also highlighted it with some of the trades he filtered on his check sheet that he kindly posted on his journal today.

As you say I put the question out into the universe and the answers have come back.

Thanks

Mike
