Hey greenfield,
that's great post and ideas.
I was considering also trading two minilots one at TP 100pips, the other ride until closed with trend B indicator. You said 75 is better - did you backtest? Do you use BE for this trade (TP75pips)?
I would say to use BE only if your account is small and you risk a lot. BE at 50pips profit is good I think. I am using it with an account that I almost blew down to zero and must stadily grow it. With the new account I do not use BE with my trades. Conclusion basically no BE except in special conditions.
Your comments are appreciated!
P.S. I hope we will continue this thread since I have great hopes for this system... Been testing for a while now and looks just great!

GumRai – Yes, you're correct. I ended up with 9 pts with today's trade. But I also scalped 75 pts on a second trade. I mentioned in a previous post that my aim is to try to replicate the sort of results listed on the Sniperforex website. So I stick to the rules as closely as possible. I realize that a lot of people amend the rules to incorporate their own trading styles.
Have you looked at the additional exit system in the rules? The idea is to divide the trade into 5, exiting at 25 pts, 50 pts, 75 pts, 100 pts and letting the 5th lot ride the trend out. My variation on this is to open 2 trades – scalp 75 on one and exit the other when the system dictates. My figures suggest that 75 works well in gaining from those trades that would otherwise give back some useful profits (as obviously happened today). The other trade taken benefits from some of the quite impressive gains that are possible – I've had 374, 270, 470, 240 and 195 points.
Bye,
