I try... this is my medium term view, self explanatory I believe don't take it too seriously though, this is demo, I am trying to develop my medium/long term skills...
after all just closed the 2 orders near 1.2226 for a ~43 pips of paper profits.
Although it was demo, I still have to act as much as possible in a sensible way as I would do if it was real money, and I expect a short term bounce from the high of previous week, it is the week end, with the US gvt possible shut down that could send EU anyways, the big down move I was expecting by end of week with my plan didn't happen (so not staying stuck in a bias)... so closed for a profit (although fake) and have a relax week end. Let's see what she does on Monday.

In any case, doing this exercise of holding much longer than I do with my real account was interesting.

{quote} your website is still under construction?
unfortunately it is. I'm a one man band and the wheels turn slow. I took a camping trip a couple of weeks ago with the intention of writing the static content while I was off-grid but ended up sick. The current changes to the scan (the addition of the 4h data) will hopefully be wrapped up this week and I can get to work on that end.
I apologize for the delay.

Just so we don't get Ata's thread too OT feel free to ask any questions like this right on my profile. That will also help me structure the site info and make it easy to find in the future.

Appreciate the interest. - JP

{quote} Euro has been a pig to trade this week
The channel top was an easy buy,,,,,didnt take out the high so a bit dodgy after that for me ,,,,todays mid point was close to same as last trip up on 6 hour and price came out of little down channel . I use the 272 and 618 extensions a lot ,,,, these lined up with my quarterly numbers ,,,,,,,,,, bullish tilt for me as we are still above weeks open and last weeks high and out of a bull flag .

I would have closed all the same as you if it was a real trade... that is one reason (among a few others) why I want to get a better feel for longer TF and so doing these tests, while talking about it on this thread forces me to be more serious than I would otherwise be with demo just by myself.
cheers

{quote} Speak for yourself.. I am not gambling.. Let me clarify: A real trader.. who knows what he is doing.. who sees his actions as serious business is simply just like any other trader out there who sells ice cream.. handbags.. gold accessories.. toys.. etc.. because all these people have to know when to buy.. when to sell.. a trader always wants to INVEST in something.. Investing is RISKFUL in its nature.. just because it is riskful doesn't mean it is gambling.. the whole concept of RISK around gambling is the total opposite of RISK around investing.....
I disliked your post when it had one line but i did undo it now because i can understand your thinking. I still can't agree with it because having a let's say 75% chance to win trade can mean you can still go busto. I'm not a math expert but i think over a 10000 trade sample you can lose a trade 16 times in a row (while having 75% winrate proven) and lose your mind along with it. Would be great to know what the max deviation for a sample of 10000 trades really is with 75% winrate is.

Anyway i can understand your thinking and wish you and everyone here a great weekend!

And with the mkt wrapped up for the week barring any news that shakes thing up over the weekend I do think it was bearish close Maybe a retest of the breakout above the highs is gonna get worked on ,,,which was 2096 ...... Fx Clarity you may be getting a reprieve lol...... For me it had to hold 2240 it did not going into the close,,,,,,Ive started erasing my price projection to Q R3 ,,,,it will still be there till this quarter is closed but it has somewhat dimmed . Todays open (Fridays open ) price 2236 will be the price I watch to start the week ,,,,,,,,,,2096 is right around projected price tgt which is the 618 fib ext of this weeks range ,, if this bear flag comes to fruition. the 272 level will react with it . cheers all
