OK, I like the concept of a date but do you have a TP as well? How does trading by date work for you usually? It must be much less stressful to simply place your trade, long or short and then walk away until the target date. Is the final date (21/12/2015) the day the highest price will be hit or is it just the end date of the up retrace? I would be really interested to know how effective this method is. Thanks
