This is part 6 of the series. This video explains you how to place a trailing stop for an open order with an example. The default trailing stop in Metatrader 4 is 15 pips. As the market moves in our favour the trailing stop also moves up and locks the profit in case the market falls back and it protects us from loss.

Watch the latest analysis of the USD/CHF, USD/JPY Forex pairs for the April 26th in this video. USD/CHF — We had a negative session on Wednesday. Looks like it has found a little bit of support at 0.9080 which has produced several different reactions over the last 3 or 4 months. The bigger level we believe is 0.9000 level. Its difficult to sell this pair — as the Franc is held up in the EUR/CHF pair just 14 pips above the 1.20 floor set by the Swiss National Bank. We are looking for buy signals — we don’t see one right now. We think somewhere between 0.9080 and 0.9000 levels we should get another daily hammer candle to go long with this pair. USD/JPY — At the end of the day we are closing just slightly lower and we had a back and forth session. We broke out of the downward sloping channel only to close back within it. It looks the pair is basically unchanged. Later this week we have the Bank of Japan who should be expanding bond buy back and asset purchase program which is essentially printing Yen and in other words trying to weaken it. That should push this pair higher and as such we have a clear cut buy signal if we break the top of the daily range from Wednesday session. If we break the low then we see far too many places where support could come in below here until we are well below the 80.00 level — the 200 MA, the 50% and the 38.2% fibonacci retracement levels which would have to be broken. With all that being said we still prefer going long in this pair, we just need to see the breakout to the top of the hammer candle from Wednesday session inorder to do it.
