Hi Dave,
I think Harold posted somedays ago, that he closes his trades at noon, more or less, so maybe you should close it at noon and get the loss, and tommorrow try to get more pips, kind regards.
she right the only thing is i didnt get into trade today because of when it accured at 1050-1055 am (est) to close to last hour of trading . lets say it was 1015 am and i entered and we go into the last hour of trading (11am-12pm i try and get as many as i can to get back to even or profitable if i am ahead at those times.thats when i use the ema and macd to help me in the trade hope that helps
