DislikedI did delete a post I made earlier as it looked like I was taking the piss. It was just that I'd gone long at about the same time as your short went in and I closed just below your stop.
It seemed funny (to me, anyway) at the time but on reflection even I took offence at what I had written.
Anywho, commiserations - onward and upward .Ignored
DislikedThat's OK Peter, you say what you like - Steve has a sense of humour & pretty thick skin (almost tortoise like hehe).
Congrats on your long trade this morning!
It's been a pretty good September so far so I'm not that fussed - the 25 pip stop from London open means I lose on average 2 out of 3 so I'm quite used to it!
Have a good one...

QuoteDislikedThe good thing about a tight stoploss is that if you're wrong, you're out very quickly. Less agony that way. No wonder they say trading is counter-intuitive.
DislikedJust taken new daily trade, EU short from 1.46269, stop loss 1.46559.Ignored
DislikedI won't take the other side on this one.
I'm going to bed so I can trade the Europe session in the morning.Ignored
DislikedOK, London open trade is long from 1.46165, stop loss 1.45915.
One of those occasions when I'm short on the daily & long on the London open method. Could have both stops hit or if we break out either way could have a nice winner on one.
Let's see....

DislikedWell, it was a heavy Red News day for both the EUR & USD. A big range was always on the cards.
I waited till the crap shoot was over and then went in. Dangerous day to be long and short, particularly with tightish stops. I suppose I have the advantage of sitting and watching as opposed to 'fire & forget'.

DislikedYes Peter, I'm well aware of the methods limitations but often its a help not to be around for me to cock it up lol.Ignored
QuoteDislikedSounds like you had a good one
QuoteDislikedI like the motto - didn't realise it was for the RAF. Learn something new every day here.
DislikedIt's just that I used to generally ignore the news as I was very much a long-term chart man. But recently as I've learned new ways to pull a few pips in these ranging periods I've had to concentrate on the news more and more to avoid trouble. I thought that maybe as you'd put the trades on before going to work you'd missed the Calendar.Ignored
DislikedWell, it turned out alright apart from closing a bit too early - but I'm a 'better safe than sorry' guy dealing with the 5-min charts.Ignored
