Hello All. Thought I'd share my bit of horrible timing, and bad luck. Sold at 1.7500, internet went down at my office immediately after! Couldn't logon via mobile because the network was apparently down! NOW, I'm 60 pips in the hole! Was in disbelief when the network came back up! BULLS ON PARADE! Here's hoping for some retracement! Happy Trading, hope you all made profit!

{quote} I'd recommend a) having a mobile data plan, and b) getting a broker with a good native app to trade with. I'm away from my desktop far too often. In fact, I love trading from my phone so much that I place trades from it even while sitting at my desktop. I sympathize for you, but really there's no excuse for this. If you're trading real money, you should have a basic connection to the Internet always.

{quote} Yes, you are absolutely correct. It wasn't my Broker that went out, apparently someone ran their crane truck into a cell tower locally, that is what caused the outage. But I do agree, a reliable connection at all times is a must, especially when attempting to only pick-up a few pips. Thank you for your thoughts though, I appreciate advice from seasoned traders always. Happy Trading!

If (big IF) price falls to 1.1782 before the close of the current hour bar, I'll enter a short; SL 1.1807 and PT @ 1.1685 The price has to hit 1.1818 then retrace to 1.1795 then react upwards for me to add to my long (and that is before the price forms a reversal Triad on the hourly chart). 20:00 GMT: (Upper median line failure) If price falls closes below 1.1780 and doesn't go above 1.1807 before, I'll enter a short; SL 1.1807 and PT @ 1.1685 The price has to hit 1.1818 then retrace to 1.1795 then react upwards for me to add to my long (and that...

Bittersweet day for me, gang. I made a hair over 100 pips on the longs I've been holding since late last week, but I got out far too early. I could have easily made another 75-100 more pips. Oh well, I'm happy with the profits I banked. Watching for a pullback for potential longs. Great move today, hopefully the volatility keeps up and we don't go in sleep mode for another week!

{quote} If that's the case, that's pretty nuts. I can't remember when I was without an internet connection last. Usually only when I'm in some super remote locations. Dust yourself off. Not sure if you're still holding but I wouldn't be surprised to see a decent pullback.

{quote} I should survive it. This is not a matter of bad positioning--which I have done before and broke even--but rather, a pip size error--my fault. I'll probably get out with a break even or minimal loss. If it weren't for the pip size mistake, I would be in a great position with my pips. If it goes down dramatically, say 1.1700 or thereabouts, I'll make a profit. If I margin out on a few positions, I'll just buy back in at a better level when I can. Believe me, this is not what I wanted but I can only blame myself on this otherwise good setup....
