Trade management:
Over the years many traders asked me about the management of a profitable trade.
Here it is how i would act on this one:

I ask myself:
a) what can i win more then if i would close my trade NOW?
b) what can i loose, if i leave my stop where it is?

Answer for this trade:
a) i would make a fraction more, of what i have now in profit, since my target would be the centerline
b) ...and here comes the trap:
often traders would say: "Well, you are at B/E now. So you would loose nothing". Do you see the wrong thinking?

If price comes straight down and stops me out at B/E, i would not only had no profit, but also expense for the trade. In fact i would loose all the accumulated profit. But to get the most out of the trade - what's a trader to do?...here is "my" solution:

Calculate, how much more you would make if price hits your profit target.
Then put your stop this amount away from current price.
If you like to give up a little more and if it's possible not to give up too much, put your stop below todays bar low minus a couple ticks.

This is NOT a hard written rule, this is a trade management philosophy which cares for maximizing my profits (giving markets a little time and room to play out) and preserves my gains.

How about the stop below the last mirror bars?
...not shaby...
Trade closed: target reached:
Trade closed at Centerline, where price is going over 80% of time.
