MY PERSONAL OPINION AND TECHNIQUE WHICH WILL START USING WITH THE CURENTLY OPEN AUD/USD.
Ok guys, this may not be for everyone, but I’ll start doing this ASAP. I’m a waiter trader, I admit it. In my personal accounts, I try to make almost 100% profitable trades, and trust my forecasts. So, when one of my trades is in drawdown, what do is simply open a new trade, in the same direction, with TP = The open price of the first trade. So, when my first trade gets to zero, I’ll already have made a profit. This profit compensates me for having waited.
Since I noted that when SL is hit, many pips are lost, and when TP1 is hit few pips are earned, and not always TP2 and TP3 are hit, I think to be in profit, many profitable trades are needed. But I still believe this signal is worth it, and I will try to maximize the pips and minimize the losses doing this:
Today, I noted the USD/CAD trade moved to the middle of the way to SL, then it moved towards TP1. At this moment, it’s open close to open price with zero profit (nearly, not exactly).
So, what I will do is.
- Open the three trades as shown in the signal.
- If everything goes OK, I will trail the stops as previously mentioned by other happy Dux customers.
- If the trades move halfway to SL, I will open another trade. The TP os this trade will be the open price of the signal.
If the trades hit SL, I will only lose half the pips in the fourth trade. If they hit TP1, which is a few-pips TP, I will have made many pips only with TP1.
I will not increase my risk. I will divide my current risk in 4 instead of three… Instead of opening thre trades of 0.04
size, I will open 4 trades with 0.03 size. It may not be 100% the same, but I will make the best approximate.
If this does not give better results, I will go back to using the signal as described by other happy customers here.
