How is it I can make 5 macro pips pretty easy but not 8?
I really need to be making 10+ macros a pop.
It is not called "Macro Scalping" for no reason
As I said in a prev. post you need to secure pips & lock in profits.
I would use a maximum of 80 pip stops and look for 4-6 macros.
When you make a large number of pips it is only going to be with 1/4 to 1/2 of your position
so that 480 pip gain is only going to be 12-24 macros.
When scalping w/ BZ or WZ you would do the same thing:
8 pip stop, enter with a stop-limit order, target 4-6 pips, & maybe catch a longer run with a smaller size.
