forexjpn, I try to take profits when price stalls. Here's a 5 min and 30 second chart of the same trade this morning. I took 5.5 pips on the first half of the position after price paused and moved the stop on the second half to break even + 1. I closed the second half at 13 pips the next time price stalled.

Thanks for the replies tommydq and cosmoe1........I'll give both a shot and see which works better for me.....
Another question...... at/near market open do we wait for 'significant' moves up or down before we consider them daily highs/lows or is the 'actual' daily high/low valid to trade off of regardless of only minor movement from the open........(hope my explanation is clear enough)

I'm a red rat and I only trade for a couple hours at the London open. The daily range of most pairs at that time of day is usually still small, if it is I will take red rat trades in the green rat zone. I tend to do better early in the London green rat zone than I do in the red rat zone. If I take trades the NY session I tend to have better results taking trades in the red rat zone (within 20 pips of high). Today's trade I entered short about 14 pips above the low of the day and was happy with an exit as price retested the daily low.

Hey Tommy,
what pairs do you trade?
Do you find your assessment of red-rat-trading-in-the-green-rat-zone at London open to be particular to certain pairs and not others?
Thanks
Tex

I stick with EURUSD GPBUSD USDCAD USDCHF. They provide ample opportunity.

Maybe someone has already answered this so forgive me if it was. What is the "daily" high and low based off of? During the week forex trades 24 hours so when has the next "day" started? I know from reading about DIBS trades that PC used GMT +6 to signal his open price.
Does anyone know what open time/price the Rat Zone daily highs and lows are based off of?
