I trade all 6 of the majors. I use large stop/losses up to 1000 pips. I do not use "Take Profits". When I am in a trend I use a trailing stop, the longer I am in the trend the larger the stop becomes. The goal of this method is to stay in a profitable trend as long as I can.

Trading starts on Monday,
