So as we are sure, when I enter a trade I have a pre set stop. On 15m and above that will be30 points. That is preset on my trade template with IG for SB or for metatrader I use myfx software.
Now that doesn't mean I will let it hit that stop, it is just a disaster stop to save my account if things get messy quickly. Once I am in the trade I then look at price action and momentum to see where the best place is to adjust my stop to. I will then either move it so it is a hard stop or leave it as a mental stop so the broker can't see it.
As for profit, I will have done my analysis on supply and demands zones (s/r) and will have already made up my mind as to where the trade could go. I will then look at price action, momentum and any possible fundamentals macro or other to asses how far I want the trade to try and run or how much time I want to be in the market. Again based on those factors I will look at hard or mental orders for tp.
I will always try to enter a trade where 1:1rr is achievable. As the 30stop is a disaster stop then I have to have my eye in to where the real stop and tp would be so I can quickly assess if the trade hits that criteria.
Hope that lets you see a little bit of my trade method In calculating stops straight off as market can change ASAP. But I check the atr for timeframe I am trading in order to preset my disaster stop, so of course on a 4 hr timeframe it can be a lot more than 15 min. What I love is when 4hr atr is same as 15 min. Not very often but has happened a bit recently. That's when you pick up decent moves.
my areas of supply this week on the Euro are
1.3130, 1.3170, 1.3280. at these levels i would take a reversal trade and aim for 15-20 pips initially and monitor if a bias change is defined or if it is merely a retrace.
areas of demand for me are at 1.3010, 1.2980, 1.2920 and 1.2880. again i would look for reversal trade as per above.
if you struggle to spot the entry then my advice is to use a stoch 14,5,3 and an rsi. when rsi above 60 (not 70) and stoch above 80 if price hits the levels above then enter on the reversal. opposite for support trades.
tp 1.3143,stop at be
stop at be
out at be
may re enter at 1.3148 but this just could be still bouncing in this range rather than trying to go.
expect euro to come down a bit this week IMO but the wires talk of a pack chasing up a price then stopping for xmas. if that true then who knows where it could go. as retailers were stuck and cant see the order books. and i thought Forex was a level playing field. damm.
that last 5 min candle displays a short bias. dont get stuck by a stop run tho.
my order at 1.3170 was filled. my stp is now 1.3167, wow 3 point profit and yes in danger of being taken in the range but i like t5o protect my account as much as poss, and my tp is 1.3130. i will trail my stop down at every new fractal on an hourly chart.. i will look to play the other levels i have posted in the same way. i do not expect euro to be performing well for scalps as liquidity reported to be low.
