A Euro target for an AUD trade? Is this a joke?

As I understand he ment 1.0250ish

You haven’t specified any target, only a 100 pip trail stop, is it correct?

Why would anyone have a target @ 1.0250? That’s just a place in the middle of the air.

The 200 SMA is far more effective if you use it combined on 4hour and 1 hour charts, enter on the sma on the hour chart, and on the 4 hour…long term mostly you will take profit with 2 to 3 days and not be minus at anytime throughout the trade. its pointless to enter on the daily as the swing low will pass the 200 after a few days and you will miss your second trade set-up
