Once you’ve entered a trade, place your stop loss order 5 pips beyond the last most relative high or low to give yourself a tight, but adequate stop loss order. Generally, if I’m trading a 30 min chart, that stop price to give me decent wiggle room. Now, if you are trading higher time frames like 4 hour and daily, you will need to use a stop of about 45 needed would be more than those distances either put in a limit order and wait for a pullback, or just wait for a better opportunity to enter the market.

Now, as for the target price, you would want to enter that along with your stop loss order. Again if you were trading the 30 min chart, I would suggest your target price be about 5 pips shy of the 1st deviation BB band directly on the other side of the 21 MA from which you just entered the market. In other words, your target would be 5 pips shy of the 1st deviation upper BB band directly vertical above your entry price, if you were buying, and the target would be 5 pips shy of the 1st deviation lower BB band directly vertical below your entry price, if you were selling. Of course, it is up to you if you see a certain area of support or resistance you favor, but always be shy of that level to allow for an achievable profit target.

Scalping a Major Dominant Trend Reversal

Even a dominant trend of a lengthy time frame, after several 4 hour or daily

candlestick, will eventually need to take a breathier. Trading these major dominant

trend reversals is definitely an art and not a science. Only the bold and foolish claim

to know the precise timing of these monster trades. Needless to say, holding these

monster trades for lengthy time periods is not necessarily the smartest way to play

major reversals and in my opinion is quite frankly, just a suicidal way to trade. I

believe that gradually scalping your way into a more steadfast position is the best

way to make money, but scalping is an essential way to profit and more importantly,

survive these more volatile trading conditions that usually occur at major market tops

or bottoms.

Below are a couple of chart illustrations that will show you how and what to look for, in order to successfully profit from major trend reversals. As you will notice, one of the necessary candle stick formation you will be looking for is almost always an engulfing candlestick formation on at least the one hour chart to signal the first stage of a reversal of the major dominant trend direction.

Once you encounter an engulfing candlestick, you have to make a choice to enter the market on the next new one hour candle with a relatively wider stop, or maybe wait for another candle to and then make a decision.

Also, the extended time you wait for a better entry, helps ensure the price action will have a higher probaprofitable trade, if this truly is the beginning stage of a reversal.

The reason I like to have at least 12 pips difference from support or resistance is to allow for those “fakes”, which are more normal in market price action, than not! Make sure

Having a practical and realistic trading plan really helps you to be goal oriented and tends to help to exceed your goals.

Here is my suggested trading Business Plan…

Whenever you are seriously working at building a business, it is certainly a great idea to have goals and track those goals. What I developed here was a plan with realistic goals that helps you use the money in your trading account to your best advantage. It is very important to adhere to strict risk management disciplines and place a protective stop loss order on every entry order STOP! I hardly ever have to risk more than 25 when trading higher time frames. To risk anymore just becomes harder and harder to recoup.

Margin row starts with $600 and allows me to safely trade 1 mini-lot, making a $1.00 per pip with the EUR/USD. If you save $100 from trading profits every month, after every six months your account will grow by $600. After 6 months you should have $1200 and can trade 2 miniThe goal then becomes to save $600 every six months, so you can trade another additional mini-lot to make more weekly and monthly income. It’s like giving your self a raise every six months!

My achievable goal is 60 pips a week profit on the EUR/USD and that comes to $240 per month the first six months. In six months after adding $100 month, I have $1200 in my account, and will trade 2 minigrows exponentially every six months, potentially yielding over $30,000 annually from a $600 starting balance in about 60 months. I hope this plan inspires you!
