I just closed early my shorts on eur last m30 bar.. I still need more confidence to keep some trades. I have such a bad feeling, I keep the ones that I should not keep, and close the ones that I should keep.

I have the same problem and i'm sure many other traders too. That's the reason why i put my SL really fast in TP area, so at least i can ride longer on bigger moves and if i get stop out, then it is with small profit and the account still grows.

p.s.
Can you tell me why you took chfjpy? (saw you get burned from that)

I used to be like that but not anymore, so I am totally different now but that fear keep me away from profits so I am working on it. But you know our first enemy in trading is our mind.

it is indeed. Greed, missing out on movements are the worst ones. After 3-4 good trades i get greedy and jump in to almost anything :/ But its getting better, i try to be more like a sociopath, dont feel feelings

Trading to me has always been a fun thing to do sometimes, never tought becoming a trader to make a living, seems so far fetched to me. However now after some uncertanty at work and life in general i decided to take this more seriously. Need to put in the hours to actually learn and make an effort. Play around with small sums etc . Will see whats gonna happen

EU 5 MIN:: looking to see if "effort to rise" is supported.. Risk 12 pips just below the low of the current cluster.

Update: don't like that volume on that up bar.. too much.. suspicious... Exit long.. now looking to see if a short set up appears...

UPdate: EU 15 min: looks like a "hidden upthrust".. short.. & again tight SL.. if they take it out then I sit back & only short below the current cluster... I dont' want to get caught up in a "churn" situation. So I would look to other Fx pairs.

{quote} Sold GU at pivot. Target .2830. And there's a buy waiting. Closing all before FOMC if it's not in my favor. If it is then SL at BE. That's the plan for today.
Moved stop at BE on that. Some news coming.
