I was long eurusd, moved my sl to the latest swing low, then it reversed and made only 14 pips. It broke my 4h trendline and I am now short.

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.
Excellent, and that about TP?
take profit 2 options:
(1) target previous swing highs/lows and set tp WITHIN them.
(2) no TP target at all, just lock in profits and RIDE the tend as long as you can locking profits and placing your stop loss behind each subsequent swing high/swing lows until you get taken out.let the market get you out and ride it as long as you can...that is the reasoning for this 2nd option.
if you ask me which do i prefer, i prefer the 2nd.
apologies for not replying sooner, i missed your post, i had to go back and i saw it.

I had an sell order on EUR/CAD at 1.59400 with a SL above the 4 hour TL ,300 pips profit.
This is the kind of R:R ratio i was taking about.
Risking 60 pips to get 300, that is,1/6.
Opportunities are in the Forex Market every day, this Trading method helps us to find thoes opportunities and take advantage.
