EURUSD 6E futures up against yesterday's low. Had a nice double top bear flag short signal around the time of the London open. I will be looking to a short signal here below Previous Low (PL) or a strong breakout above it to get long. image

Gold a case study, though admittedly this is a one day n=1, Gold is the one instrument I trade where 50 pips is a good profit target. On the S&P 500 and the GBPUSD, 25 ticks seems to be more reliable profit targets under the current level of ...

Notes 1) A take profit target is a must. For every 1 parabolic runner, I have a dozen trades that go for 25 to 40 pips, and then reverse against me. Better to set a fixed take profit and size up rather than trying to get 50 to 100 pips or more per ...
