30 pips is too small stop size. make it 4 x larger or more.
I have been stopped out numerous times from real excellent trades due to too small stops. Most notably when selling audusd at 1.0234 in last drop. Nearly straight line down to 0.90 or so. Had 12 pip stop 2 contracts, planned to build large position, and price moved EXACTLY to my stop level and then turned down for good. That is not random ! And in the same move, price escaped again just as i was prepared to enter. And 3rd time as well. All same audusd sell signal. Once price 200 pips from your signal, it is too hard to enter.
However was saved last trade actually in audjpy as part of this large signal 200 pip stop, missed for 30, and made 150.
