alphac replied Aug 8, 2016As I was trying (maybe I failed) to explain in post #67 if the chart offers you great areas for entry, a stop and take profit that is a massive plus for taking the trade and convinced me to take the trade above even though it was quite a tight area.

alphac replied Aug 5, 2016Post #13 update, GBPCAD monthly. I find it hard doing some of these posts because it sounds like I'm saying 'I told you so', all of the posts are just trying to emphasize the importance of looking for areas on a chart where price might react. Anyway ...

alphac replied Aug 5, 2016EURUSD trade update 2 day pinbar. Looks like the rest will be stopped out, but identifying an area where price could react, (the first trouble area, WIPG knowledge) helps to manage the trade so that losses are kept down or small profits are taken. ...
