I have had more consecutive winning trades (all demo) using the Green Rat Reversal than I've EVER had doing anything else!!! I have a hot key to go long and a hot key to close (also use the Move SL TP by Mouse EA -- but not really utilizing it much, yet). I still CANNOT see how one would have the time to put in a limit order!!!!
Now that I've got some kind of confidence with this I will run it demo for a while more and then hopefully fund a real account!!!
Thanks, Avery!!!
Let me ask you this: is it really this easy?!?!
When I first looked into trading forex 2 years ago, I thought that maybe the best way to trade was to watch price go in a certain direction for a while, get in, then get out if it starts going against you. Everyone said that was naive.
It seems to me that that is basically just what I'm doing NOW with the Rat Reversal trades.

ps: I've been trading for 2% per day and only GU, that's trading 1.2 or 1.3 lots per trade on a 6k account and I've made more than $500 dollars. The big losses that I've had (SL) have always been because I was fooling with scripts or the move sl tp by mouse EA. I have had some small wins of $10 per trade while avg has been $60-ish.

Change the x and y inputs to 10 and 10... that should make the gauge visible.

If you enter a rat reversal trade and your stop has never been threatened, what does that imply?
It would imply price can't push down (Green Rat) at least for time being.
My 3.1 trade would be about 17 pips right now if I had let it go.
Currently, I bail on the trades when I see my "profit" (potential) be threatened, not my SL.
Thanks again Tro
I was re-reading this whole thread again for about the 4th time. I missed this the last 3 times. It sure saved me alot of pips tonite.
(I am a red rat).
Instead of losing 10 pips when price retraces I took 1, 2, or 3, pip profits.
AT +5 pips, I will be ready to bail at +3 if price pulls back.
At +10 pips, I will enter a trailing stop of 4 or 5 pips.
At +15, I will cancel the trailing stop and enter a hard stop at +10.
Then I will move the hard stop up if price moves up.
At +25, I may move the hard stop up to +25 or to a price ending in 0 or 9.
Sometimes, I may exit 1/2 of my position at +20 to lock in a 1% gain.
The idea is to be CONSISTENT. You'll miss out sometimes, but you only need ONE big run and you are done for the day.
Remember, the daily goal is 2% or more and DO NOT OVER TRADE.

Thought I was going to get stopped out, glad I held tight. Got My daily goal of 20 pips on this one trade.
