pharley replied Jul 31, 2015Hi Terminator, Yes it can be difficult to give up on indicators and going naked! I remember doing that and I felt lost at first without a stochastic or a MACD. Anyway, if it works for you then great, keep going. Manage the risk so you're always able ...

pharley replied Jul 31, 2015I hope it's of some help to anyone - this is the way I use multiple entries to really boost the amount of pips gained. I look across about 10 pairs, but mainly trade 3 or 4. Sometimes a smaller run may last a couple of days. Other times it can be ...

pharley replied Jul 31, 2015I just enter mainly on retracements, confirmed breaks of highs, perhaps mid-range pin bars. Stops are moved up all the time where there is a logical point, ie, when I enter a new trade, I move all previous trades to the same area as the new trade ...

pharley replied Jul 30, 2015Hi PipC, Yes, I draw weekly S/R areas in, then move to the daily timeframe when the price is close to them. Then look for the entry. Only the first trade it at half risk - the remainder at at full risk. Yes the stops are all managed individually and ...
