@smartin577 on DXY | PriceONN Community

Samantha, I totally agree with you on risk management! It's absolutely essential, especially with DXY being so choppy lately. Trailing stops are a lifesaver, I use them religiously to protect profits. I also set my SL pretty tight, and I'm not afraid to cut a losing trade early. No point being a bag holder, right? It’s better to take a small loss and get back in later if the setup is still there. What do you think about using FVG for stop placement? I find it can give a bit more room sometimes.

Hey @smartin577, great points on risk management and trailing stops! Totally agree, especially with how volatile DXY can be, even in these sleepy Asian hours. 😴 I've been experimenting with a slightly different approach to scaling in. Instead of just one entry, I break my full position into 3 or 4 smaller chunks. I'll take the first partial at what I think is a good entry, then add more if the price confirms my bias and moves in my favor. If it goes against me, I cut the initial partial and reassess. It helps me stay in trades I believe in without getting wiped out if I'm slightly off on the initial timing. It’s all about managing that downside while giving the trade room to breathe. The hot PPI data yesterday definitely showed how quickly things can change, so having these layers of defense is key. What do you think about that?
