No you don't need to do anything. Simply follow the trade management plan . and for T20's it should always be the simplest easiest.

that is

SL at -1R TP at 2R Move to BE at plus 1R.

this way your possible outcomes are only 3.

TP at 2 times of SL. that is 2R away from entry. That way, you will have hit TP just below TZ1. but i would put my TP just few pips above T Z1. that way you'd have got 1.75R. Trailing boxes is fine but that is better on D1 time frame where every candle is a concrete candle. Trailing boxes on h1, would stop your trades out during night time price action when markets are relatively dead. H4 would do ok too, so would be fine for m15 m5. ... But for the purpose of T20 you MUST put TP at 2R. have a good spring break...

Thanks immy for info of box traililng.u rite, i was using H1 earlier, end up either exit earlier or huge lost. that's why i put BE earlier whenever i reach 50% of my TP. May be i would try to follow H4/D1 next time.

We discussed the above setup of UCAD in the skype room and how we should not have taken it. hint: we don't use the orange bars on AO. If you watch the video in "just joinded" topic. This orange bars was for m1/m5 and we stopped it around 3 years ago. We like to see solid cross of ZL. hope it makes sense.
