What do the signals look like?
Here is a recent (February 15, 2011) EUR/USD example: BUY Stop at 1.3593 Stop at 1.3451 Target 1: 1.3660 – achieved for +67 pips Target 2: 1.3730 – still waiting I always send the signals as orders, the orders are usually triggered, but if they are not triggered in 24 hours I cancel my orders and wait for the next trade. All signals have a stoploss and two take profit targets. Once the first take profit target is hit I cash out on some of the trade and move my stop loss to break even (or plus a few pips) for the remaining position.
