Short EURUSD — It's been a while. So I didn't triple the account before refunding. It was painful to watch pennies come and go. I did quite well though and really developed some patience. Can't believe that was a year ago. So currently ...

Let profits run and cut the losses — Now +70% on initial investment. Placing stop losses on all trades at levels that make sense. Also keeping lot sizes small. Trying to roughly calculate risk so that losses will not be more than 2% of current ...

sHs move up or TC — Patiently waiting to analyse this situation. I have a feeling that I am over thinking this. Looking at the EU on the 4 hour. Looks like a sHs forming which would indicate a rise coming up. I should wait for the neckline to ...
