I employ geometrical levels for managing my trade. Typically 3 levels at which I take profit off the table. I have found it as good a method as any. With the last remaining unit I will often trail a stop once the market is approaching my next TP level and let the mkt take me out. That way I will catch the occasional irrational momentous move typically to be found in a wave 3 of 3. This methodology keeps my pshychological bank in good shape. It suits me personally.

The only way I personally found of developing my winning edge was to cut a losing position quicker than lightening. If a trade turns against me shortly after entry I am out. I am out because I read my chart wrongly. I was WRONG. I always attempt to catch a momentum move so the trade moves away from my initial stop as quickly as possible. I don't mind getting it wrong sometimes. I never fade a market, always wait for some degree of confirmation that direction has changed. We don't need to be heroes catching exact highs or exact lows. far too risky.

Its very difficult to know what timeframe traders in this forum are trading. Even if we are trading the daily chart timeframe the best entries are found on lower timeframes and then we can see a nice tight logical stop position. Once our trade has moved well away from the entry point we can relax a little and refer back to the daily timeframe to help to manage the trade.

I agree about always know where to place hard stop before entering a trade. The point at which the trade idea is invalidated OR the maximum risk tolerance for the trade.

Dave you correct regarding The AUD/USD, i had position short yeasterday and i closed it.
people in this fourm keep hold of there losssing position and sit here and cry and try to find some one to blame. a fundamental paractice in trading is to put stop loss .

i personally think that the AUD will continue to rally beyond 1.02. and there is a possibility that parity with US dollar will never be seen for vary long time.

OK Thanks. Need to use my own charts for this, never mind. Too much geometry and not using forex symbols.
