either one of the timeframes from each category. (i.g. Daily or H4, H1 or M30, M15 or
M5) The timeframes can vary depending on your trading style.

 Trend on H1 or M30 but not on Daily or H4
As below example shows, you can still take H1 and look for trading edges by M15 or M5. In that case,
member that the H1 trend will be relatively shorter and take profit should be done based on H1.

3-2. Stop Loss Strategy

- At the recent high/low in executing timeframe.

 3-3. Breakeven Strategy
When to move the stop loss to breakeven?
- Pull back or push back after breakout
It should be confirmed within the same entry timeframe

For trend followers, until placing a breakeven line is the game in trading. After placing a breakeven line, it will
be either win or breakeven game which you want to play overtime. However, too early breakeven line will result
no profit and too late breakeven line will result losses.

4-1. Exit timing before placing breakeven line
Exit before placing a breakeven line
- Based on the counter signals or breakout. i.e. Dead cross after gold cross of stochastics, price
breakout of a trend line, price going opposite direction after Bollinger Bands squeeze, etc.
Below example shows exit timings after Stochastics dead cross and exit after recent low breakout

4-2. Exit Timing after running profit
Exit after running profit
- Based on bigger timeframe’s losing trend
Below example shows where market started to consolidate as Senko Span B, A and Kijun
sen became all flat. In that case look at smaller timeframes to capture exact exit timing.
