Now, waiting and watching for others...


Haha. I think MO would call that the ultimate cardinal sin, mving your stop to BE. But I don't know exactly the setup your trading so Im not judging

Ha Ha !! I hear you on that V8 (and thanks). Since I am totally new to this strategy, I am trying to follow the structure and rules of it. So for now, just trying to stick with the rules, since I have a hard time following structure in regards to anything.

On my recent trade, I was just at +5, so moved my stop to BE +1.
Waiting...

That's the smart thing to do. Follow the rules and learn to trust what yuour doing. What setup is this if you don't mind me asking?

Hi V8,
Its this strategy here, which I have just been reading up on and learning all weekend:
https://www.kreslik.com/forums/therumpledone/holo-highest-open-lowest-open-trade-t12931

...and to note, MO has some good ideas there too for Money Management. I am just not there yet. For now I am just trying to absorb the basics of that strategy.

Hi V8,
Yeah, I know you were. Thanks again for the support - I really appreciate it.
Exits 'while I am in profit' are a new experience for me LOL. But 'being in profit' is a good thing for me to start experiencing more of. So I have to see what works best for me on this.
