Eurusd short stopped at 1.4720. This trade made me +33 pips.

There is a level of support at 1.4700 so that would be my target. The current 4h candle is about 50 pips high so the stop loss would be around 38 pips. I'll include a 15 pip trailing stop.

rafa.

LAST MINUTE EDIT after 20:00 GMT:
I entered short at 1.4753, trailing stop=15, mental stop @1.4789

stopped:
eurchf +9
eurjpy +30
usdcad +10

I'm thinking on using 25 pip trailing stops instead of 15 pip.

Maurizio ...Did you give up your day job or is much easier for you to go to work (now that your making good trades)?

I just started on a demo acct and I'm 2/2 so far.

Question....when looking to trade the daily and using a smaller timeframe (i.e. 30m) if the 5&1 EMA cross and point down and the Stochs are below 20 and pointing up, do you hold off on the trade, or do you not factor on the stochs and focus on the EMAs cross even on the smaller time frame?


Thanks,
Pickle

Here is quick summary of this system
I just copy from the previous post.


Slow stochs....set at: 18, 3 ,3.
CCI set at: 25.
Bollinger bands set at: standard, 14, 2.0.
1 and 5 EMAs


On a short
Stochs above base line.
Price above top bollinger band.
CCI above +100 base line...breaking.

Entry Point: the opening of the candle after crossing candle

STOP LOSS: This should be placed 10 pips above the highest point of the price break of the BOLLINGER BAND
TAKE PROFIT: should be 5pips below the BOTTOM BOLLINGER BAND LINE

EXIT: when the CCI and SLOW STOCHS break upwards from their base line




Want to ask a question
Attached pic is the post #174
Why there is entry point within the bb band?
Or there are just the signal from other indicator is ok?
Thank~

Gee, thanks for summarizing it here instead of me having to go thru the entire thread. This is just what my poor brain needs after having me force it to read so many other posts.

This system is on my list of "Things To Try" now
