first Steps

Hey Guys

I am a complete Newbie, but i am learning whenever i have any Time.

I started with my free 100$ about 5 Days ago, and first went to 116$, than down to 72, and from 72 on i mostly used Trendlines+IT Crossing Setup to do my trades.

And here you can see them:

Well, my Problem is that this Week i have to work about 9 Hours EVERY DAY, so i don't have really much time, but i will update my Story from Time to time and when i have more Time i will also Add Charts to my Trades and Post my thoughts, maybe some of you can give me some good Tipps than. :-)

 

first Question:

If i have a Gain of about 51% and have to leave from home, but i see with my trendlines that the Gain is about to ris, yould you leave the Trade open with a take Profit or close it and take the 50-60%?

Nice Regards,

Paul

Nice posting Paul.  If it was

Nice posting Paul.  If it was me in that situation which does happen what I like to do is move my stop loss so that I can't lose on the trade.  Then I would move my take profit just a little closer which will eliminate any worry that you have of losing.  Also, nothing wrong with a 50% gain either.  

The great thing about the Forex is that a lot of the trading can be done at night when it is really volitale. Keep us updated on how you are doing.  Also, make sure to post your charts so that we can really see what is going on.

Interesting, i would also

Interesting, i would also changt the stop loss, and leave it open untill i get back. If you think you know the trend, you should follow your brain. If you're not sure, take the profit you have and leave to work without the stress of your trade.
