Dan,

Sometimes when you get a blip in the broker or platform feed it messes the indi up. So I refresh it. If your referring to not seeing them on my screens, sometimes I have them shut off and others, if you look I have the ninja settings set to one thing and my macd window beneath set to another group of settings for bias, those crosses dont show up on my screen.

I think this is what you were asking?

Advantages of stacking
I am finding that I love this method of MM!

example:

Entered at 1.3560 with 1 lot & and a 10 pip SL = Risking $100.00
Price moves in my favor, breaks a s/r level of some type.
add another 3 lots at 1.3572
add another 3 lots at 1.3577

Close trade at 1.3583
23 pips with 1 lot
11 pips with 3 lots
6 pips with 3 lots

Risk 10 pips/$100
Profit 40 pips/$740

I never let price reverse beyond my 2nd to last stack. Just close trade if price starts to reverse and bank the cash!

I never add to a losing trade

hi doji,
Thanks for explaining your stacking MM.Could you please tell what is your stoploss after you do your first addition of 3 lots.If it is at pervious entry which is 12 points away then how can the risks is only10 pips.The risk is 12x3, that is 36pip for 3 lot and and for 1 lot it is at breakeven.Risk can be 10 pips only if you move stop to 69 which is just below psychological level of 70.
Please tell where i am getting it wrong.
Thanks

My goal as I stack is only to risk gained profit from that trade. No matter what I stack, a $100 is all I will lose. What ever level that may be, im out. Once I reach my second stack my 1st stack becomes my stop. Its very quick and challenging, but rewarding.
