Hi Everyone, I am new to this post, and first will like to thank you all for your helpfull information. I have been trading the makets for a year now and got my share of ups and downs, but now I feel i am prepared to do a decent and consisten trading. February 1st I started real account with 1.500 eur and last wednesday got it up to 3.000 with over 70% positive trades. The problem came on thursday when i opened short on eurusd 1.06 lots and gbpusd 0.83lots at it lowest (1.2983 eur and 1.56684 cable). As i received magin call from the broker i was obliged to hedge both positions and opened long 1.06 lots eur usd at 1.31535 and 0.83 lots on cable at 1.58384). So I am in a mouse trap right now. Any ideas or systems on how to manage this trap and get out? Current balance is 2.527€ and equity/free margin is 573€. thanks for your help in advance!!

Being right is one, taking it from the table is two.
