(this is the rule that I broke yesterday) I place trades only after I have seen at least one full daily bar that is complete going in the direction of the trades I am placing.

I place every trade with a 50 pip trailing stop and I use a 1000 pip stop/loss on each trade. After a trade has run over 100 pips in profit, I adjust my trailing stop to 50 precent of the gains in the trade.

Hope that helps, piphacker.

Thanks for the questions,
Jackie
HI Jackie,
Is there a more complicated version ?
Also, what lot size are you using?
Glad to see someone having fun being successful!
Thanks
