eu is pushing back up. Resistance at 1.2960 and 1.2970. Looking for price to get back to that area and get knocked down again for a short. If it goes over 1.2970 then will be looking for long trades.

Though there are no set rules or guarantees, I think its prudent to leave your stop a few pips below the nearest support such as the last structural pivot, even when trailing stops. Although I dont use the same ideology when it comes to taking profits (I simply take profits to lock in cash), I do think its necessary to do so when setting stops. If you want to leave stops at entry levels (i.e not below support), you might as well just take full profits there and then (I do that- regretfully recently!) as market could easily hit your arbitrary stop.

Just my two cents anyway.....
