Paulus thanks for making me realise about the SL there, it is very neat. I usually use 10-20 pips above 70%. I am analysing your SL....Probably I will implement your way, looks very effective.

Hi juicyt, sorry for the late reply, to be honost I do move my tps around but I am always strict with the SLs, I always place them 20 pips above 70%, because I do very aggresive entries that is why I leave some room for the SL.

I have closed my nzd/jpy trade for 70 pips, I got what I was looking for, it will retrace and I will look for another opportunity. On this one I should have opened 2 entries, because it was a 4hr setup which has more room for movement, close one and ...
