Well, not so great. Most are scalping style, with 10 pips target, with microlots (0.01). I use 4H and CSS info page to see direction, and then go to 1h chart. 80% times I follow the trend. I CT only if I can afford a tight SL. If i´m following the trend I don´t use SL. So a killing trade could take all my profits at any moment.
In 1h, i use daily pivot cross and a ADR (15 days) as limit for operations. I never buy or sell beyond the daily range. I don´t use SR levels from pivots, but SR levels of PA that I spot at the moment.
What has helped very much to improve results is Slipshod´s SR indi that is becoming my lighthouse for scalping. Never buy the resistence, never sell the support. As simple as that. Also, a bit of PA and candlstick reading. I look for pins and dojis confirming S/R levels. Also, I use mouteki trendline indi to see when the retrace is broken. Nothing too much original.
USDJPY and EURUSD mostly, because of the spread of my mini account.
