This 1st trade was a sim trade experiment. It was a slight violation of the rules by not moving the stop to just above entry after the 1st target was triggered.
My automatic settings placed the stop just below the Slower EMA so I left it there after the the 1st target (+3 pips) triggered.
After a while the price moved up above my entry so I adjusted the 2nd target and the stop up a little.
I was tempted to move the price up again with the stop but was feeling a funny greedy sensation so I decided to leave everything as it was.
I feel that I should have stayed a little longer - until the short counter trend arrow.
I used to be content with any profits at the end of the day regardless of the amount but now I find I'm discontent with anything but an exit at maximum profits.
I'm finding this to be a little disturbing.
I'm only making this one trade today because I have a webinar I want to attend and I also have to go to work.
yes...i set them and leave them alone. i also will move to be when my target is touched but not filled. i'm just not smart enough to do it any other way.
I typically do the same.
I don't make any adjustments until the 1st target is hit then I move the stop to a little above the entry.
More than not, I'm stopped but I still have a profit. Some times, the price continues up and I make adjustments to the stop and targets until I get the exit indicator.
