Ok all I am still learning how to trade so I am just in the Demo phase.
However I have been working on a strategy that seems to be working well for me in the test phase I just am interested in the opinions of live traders.
Ok here’s what I do
I use RSI and BollingerBands to determine an entry point
I trade off the 15 min chart
to determine my stop loss, I use the 1 day chart on Oanda.
This works well for a buy only not a sell transaction. And sometimes it takes aobut 4 hours for the market to hit my high. A few times I have left the tradde active over night. If I am watching the computer I might jump out once I have a 50 pip gain. but when I have left it to “let it ride” I have had a 100- 150 pip gain.
I place my stop loss just under what the low was for like a month ago.
Then I use the 1 hour or 3 hour chart to determine my limit.
It’s easy to be this accessive with fake money, but I have notice that just setting a 30 - 50 - or 100 pip stop loss does not work for me.
I do follow the babypips plan to only use 2% of my capital at time.
So would this plan work if I was live trading?
thanks to all who respond.
