hi. yea, good point. you get so caught up in your own strategy sometimes you fail to see the obvious.
anyways, i would have to go and backtest using a larger profit target to see. i might be able to go for 50, for example, scaling out at 25 or so. but i would still to do some research to see if i could even capture that many pips on my trades.
thanks for the heads up.
hi sirieth. i dont have my system posted. just keeping a journal of how it does. i’ll post a link to my website as soon as i finishing uploading the performance report so you can view its historicals.
keep in touch and good luck trading.

Long at 1.5625
Exited at 1.5641
Initial long looked like a solid signal. Got out right when EURUSD was hitting on 15min 50day and right when consumer confidence was coming out. Trying to end the month strong and hoping to finish above my 150 avg.

Initial long was a solid signal. EURUSD initially dropped a bit but eventually got going on the upside. I got out when it was hitting the 5min 50day MA. It broke it and kept going higher, but I was happy with 13 pips today.

I’m still looking for a reversal in this pair to the upside. See chart below. All the red arrows were nice trades, I only made one which is still open. TP-1 hit, looking to breakeven on 2nd lot and become a bear. If i was a scalper I would lock in a lot of pips from this pair today.

Went short at US market open and felt great about it since it was riding down the 15min resistance trend line. Was breakeven when ISM and Construction Spending news came out and EURUSD dropped right after the news was released. EURUSD was hitting day low and was worried it could bounce and wasn’t comfortable holding it much longer. Good start to May.

lucky? lucky?! haha.
well… it wasnt breaking through R1 (floor pivot) and if you look at the 5min chart there were four bars just hitting R1. So i took my profits i think on the 3rd bar or so. If i see it isnt breaking it, i prefer to just take my profits and run.
looking back, it was a great sell… i would have gotten stopped out.
No trades today.
Got a really mixed signal this morning… it was “leaning” towards a short, but in my opinion it would have been a crap shoot. so i decided to stay out of this one. no need to trade carelessly.

had a nice strong buy signal at US market open. as soon as i went long, EURUSD kept running up and hit over 1.5430. felt like it was over stretched, since it had been running up nicely since 840am or so, so i took 15 pips. might jump back in if it retraces.
