This cracks me up! I was posting my “profit with FX trading while sleeping” message this morning when a SELL for USDCHF signal alert buzzed my iPhone screen. In less than 30 seconds, I placed the trade and kept writing. Here’s what happened…
Like clockwork I chose Rule #37, up to 3 lots at the MARKET and 7 lots at the LIMIT.
I didn’t react immediately, since it was an H1 signal. By the time I did, the price had moved in my favor and had already passed my ENTRY point. I started out with my 1 lot MARKET order but then realized that the price had moved again in my favor.
I then placed a MARKET order for the remaining 7 lots at a better price than indicated in the signal. Before placing my 7 lot order, I checked the charts and could see the price action topping out at the EMA 20 line.
With a downtrend in place off the D1 charts, upping the ante on this trade with a reduced loss was consistent with my daily risk managed tolerance. Trading systematically saves time and emotions. I literally can ‘trade and forget’ because our algo does the rest!
