Folks I have to show this crazy entry....
Keep in mind that when I started the trade at the 50% fib the GBPJPY was at a spread of -20.
Nothing but fibs plotted on the H1 time frame, entries on the 5 min timeframe and a peak at H1 BIAS.
I am still in the trade. It "may" reach the 38.2% fib. At this point my trailing stop loss is at 200pips. No significant risk now. I can afford a 200 pip loss and still be ahead.
Hmm, what is the difference between patience and greed???
I was just targeting 30 pips :P and look what happened!
If anyone needs info let me know... I will gladly help.![Smile](https://c.mql5.com/smilies/smile.gif)

Bro:
I really recommend you check out TRO's indicators. You can goolge "TRO indicators MT4". You will find many of his free indicators. You can donate to get other indicators from him. I have not used the "donational" indicators, I only use the free ones. They work as well.
I also recommend the TRO's BUZZARD and RULESOFTHUMB methods. Those are by far the easiest to grab pips.
If you need any more info PM me![Smile](https://c.mql5.com/smilies/smile.gif)

This thread made me really do some homework. I have been trading on some demoaccounts with succes for the last couple of weeks although there is still much to do. One of the things i really need to work on is to set a stoploss.
I have been nailed a few times by u-turns etc see statement.
But overall my trading skills are improving. I would like to thank all of you who supported me with comment in this thread.
It would be unwise to have a stop loss of less than 30 pips for euro usd,therefore your profit target must be a minimum of 95 pips. Most of stops on euro usd tend to be around 50 to 80 pips .Other pairs are 100 pips plus for gbp/jpy Allow for 15 consecutive losing trades.Listen to the experiened.period.
I have been trading on the 1 min chart. The previous system wasn 't ment to be so i did some research and came to a nice scalping system. The reason for the stoploss is to protect my equity for a max drawdown of 2%. In most cases it never came towards the stoploss area since i don 't let a winning trade turn into a losing trade. This last rule saved me a lot of (virtual)money in the demoaccounts. But from time to time these u or n-turns come up and
with no stoploss there goes your max 2% drawdown. But you must admit those values listed above aren 't effective on a scalping system.
DEC has been a good month although i had some luck from time to time i also learned from some mistakes. I mentioned it was a scalping system but i have to correct that since technically scalping is trading < 1 min.
probability and statistics ,how often you've got your profit that's trading![Smile](https://c.mql5.com/smilies/smile.gif)
Hi Guys, About to close my account but i am giving it on last change with hopely some help from you guys. I will explain what went wrong: I started with 5400 € but atm 3400 € are left, the main reason why is amount taken a dive is i let my losses run and my profits were tight. After a while i realised i need to start using stoplosses but my timing is very bad it looks like. Most of the times my stoploss has hit. After playing the 1 min charts i started playing with the 10 min chart in combination with the 1 hour chart. I am using the kolachi method as trading system and use an 10 pip stoploss. My broker has an levarge of 1:50 and a margin requirement of 2,5%. Perhaps someone can advise me! I think the entry method needs to change and perhaps my trading method aswel. Thnx in advance
