Let's keep it simple. I sometimes want to get back in a trade if it starts to reverse, but in my opinion it's to risky. Let's just wait for the next day to enter new trades. Better safe than sorry. I rather watch a missed trade from the sideline and than be in a bad trade because of greed.

feb2865: I'll rather not to use the BB in my opinion
Makes me a lil' jumpy and distracts my attention off the pivots
I have been testing "The Only Pivot" strategy for a short period of time now and would like to contribute by posting my trades for observation and learning.
Trading Strategy: I will open three (3) orders at the close of the GMT 00:00 bar (IBFX is GMT) with 0.25 lots each for a total of 0.75 lots. If a get an opposite signal I open 0.50 lots, etc... Once I reach 1.00 lots per pair I will start to look to close as soon as I am in profit because I feel I am over leveraged at this point with 3.00 standard lots opened. The worst case drawdown ("DD") I have experienced with this strategy is approximately -7%/-$700.00. I close all open trades once floating profits reach $300.00.
I have a quick question a lil bit off topic. I prefer using this system with limit orders after the price brekas the higher/high lower low of the first hour candle.
Does anybody know how to set a price alert on MT4?
You forgot the chart.
GOOD FEEDBACK TimeFreedom.. the chart is uploaded

I agree with Feb2865,
