As you can see, I tend leave a lot of pips on the table (EU)......at this stage I need to get out at the sig lines, as I hate to give pips back and I am not sure yet when price is going to go all the way to an 'origin' Z-line.
I have tried looking at HTF, but nothing has quite clicked yet for me....until it does, I will continue to lock in profits even if it means missing out on the rest of a run.

Hi Tyger, this is my short answer, I had a longer one, but it got far too complicated........ Hope it answers your questions.

I use the same leverage for pending and market orders.
My SL is usually beyond the extreme of the candle before the MOMO or beyond the extreme of the nearest pivot point.
My SL can be quite large at times, but in those cases it's more of a 'catastrophic' SL.
If I'm using my bastardized version of 'space', my SL can be around 100 pips, but on my standard trades, my SL's seem to average about 20.

Thanks for the reply.

And what is the amount of leverage you end up using?

I am very conservative....... I would say I range from 0.5 to 2:1 at this time, my max so far being 6:1 (not including my early days, when I didn't quite understand what risk was)
I will be implementing my understanding of E=L+R, in the near future....... My leverage should increase significantly then.

Wow, doesn't look nearly as good on MT4.........
I trade off Trade Interceptor on my iPhone and the last MOMO had close over the last pivot and a sig line, whereas on MT4 the pivot point is uneven and the last MOMO didn't even reach it.........
Will monitor closely, currently up 6 or 7 pips.

Open: 1.33592
SL: initially set far away at 1.3314 cuz was on the train, but now taken off as I am watching the trade
TP: 1.3385

Closed my position at just above BE..........
This is actually against one of my rules of not meddling with trades before they have a chance to pan out, so regardless of whether or not if it was the right choice, I am kind of disappointed in myself.

Just to show you how it looked on Trade Interceptor, when I entered the trade.
MOMO closed over the pivot and a sig line.....

Looks like you can conclude that your "idea" was sound.

I don't see why you think MT4 looked worse than tradeinterceptor(never heard of it until last night when Tyger posted about it) ?
