Simpleforex,

How do you move SL? Do you use trailing stop? And Do you always set Take Profit?

Thanks

Maudur,
my stop loss moving techniques:
(1) when trade is profitable, i move stop loss behind PEAKS/TROUGHS.
(2)if there is a big price move and no obvious peaks or troughs, i find significant areas of support or resistance that is broken and move my SL just above/below it.the reasoning for this is that if price comes back to this support/resistance level, it has a high probability of going back in the direction where it was headed originally and so i place my SL a little above/below this areas of S&R.

I am out of this trade, 76 pips made. To be honest I thought that this pair was going to go higher but did not, finding resistance at the minor downtrendline. I trailed my SL below to the latest swing low.

That's a nice looking rising wedge in the audusd. Thanks for the idea - I think I'll short it, too. (But the SL has to be pretty big, because these wedges can have long tails).
