Ok, just to be 100% sure, I would like to ask you one last time :wink: if my reasoning is correct:

1. If I enter at the lowest possible price (at line nr 1), my risk is at its max so I place my stop loss at line nr 3
2. If I enter at higher price (at line nr 2):
- I can place my stop at line nr 3 and enjoy lower risk
- I can place it at line 4 for better position and more safety
- I can place my stop at line 3 and add more lots (8/12)

Thank you!

That is correct.

If you get stopped out at the extreme and the distance between lines 3 & 4 is at least 5 pips then you can
reduce your size to 4 units and double the remaining space to 10 pips; this will allow you to take a short
term scalp to regain some space.

Say that you gain 5 pips and your space is now 15, you can then increase your size from 4 to 6 and reduce your space to 10.

We would only trade like this if we were short on space (~7.5 pips).

If you have no scalping ability then it is better to just take the reduced risk and move on to the next trade.

Again, you can use a monthly or yearly extreme if you want to, 2 days is just the minimum range that you want to stay out of.


STAY OUT OF?? MO, What do you mean by that??
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!

Please do NOT PM me with trading or coding questions, post them in a thread.

So are you using the software's option chain to trade FX options?

And could you give an example (bring on the jargon) how you would trade in the same way using options?

Or point me to the relevant prior posts, someone...? Thanks

Every instance where we are talking about 2+ day extremes we are talking about stops TRO :wink:

Keeping your stops outside of the daily speculation is what gives you staying power.
