    you have to get into trends early so your stop is small.

    that is clear.

    but the stop for a trend is below where it started.

    not below a PB which is a range and breakouts from ranges fail, so if you enter above a range [PB] with a stop below,that stop will trigger

    If it is early how do you know it is a trend?

    Little game made. Order window visible only buy and sell button. Everything else covered! SL 2 Target 5 points You see no price, no chart, nothing. Then every 10 minutes alternately to buy then sell. And for 2 hours. The win was not excessive but it was there! Blind trading haha ... So much for money management .... lol.
