  1. Yeah? Widen those stops to 1000 pips then huh?

    Aside from his response, great thread btw :) Keep it up. I typically use stops no more than 10 either. No reason for more.

    Are you on a 1 min chart?

    Thank you, Athlon.

    I use multiple timeframes, intraday starting from 1h and down to 15/5/3 and 1 minute (occasionally in a very fast market even sub. 1 minute).

    And I agree no reason to risk losing much, a few ticks is most of the time enough to see if you are right or wrong in your intraday market read.

  5. Not so much chop but sideways consolidation, building tension between S & L, could mean a breakout :D

  7. I have a short signal @ 1.2912 - 17 with a target at 1.2889 - 86

    This close to the speech I have to "let it go" (I'll SIM it with a 20 pt stop)

    Was betting on the bounce from 2885 support area, but was shaken off the tree break-even.
