paul,

try this modification to your methodology...!
Add a stoch with default setting to you chart. This is going to be your timer and stoploss generator and TP1
the crossover of stochK and stochD from below is your signal to enter long in the direction prescribed by guppy.
the lowest low of the last 3 bars from the point of crossover is your stoploss.
Entry is with full capacity.
exit is 50% at a distance that covers the distance from entry - stoploss. This makes the other 50% free.
Trail the other 50% till it hits or we have a divergence on the oscillator.
Add to position when fresh entry to position is in deep profit or market is single time framing.
benefit of this kind of trade management is that we ride the good trades till exhaustion. We rely on 20% of the total trades for 80% of our profit. Means we can afford to be wrong more often and still make a killing....!
