Hey why u closed your manual shorts..they we're at higher levels..and now the short you placed is at 1.2370....earlier ones which you close were 1.2380 levels
I just realize your question,, since I trade in US, we have to do first in first out.. wish we could trade like the rest of world.. hedge or close positions in different orders...US traders can't..

{quote} I don't want too much exposure since I trade H1 trend.. I usually get 10 triggers.. this is #8...kind of late ...current trend stop 2415..if EU can close above later , longs will be triggered... but I do notice I need to hold first 5 triggered positions longer going forward.....I am still working on my patience and discipline...
i think we might go to 1.247x again... maybe

i am a newbie in fundamentals but is there any remote chance that the money that disappeared from the stock market could go into crypto investment sometime in the future? is the question actually valid?

not so sure its over.. first strike may just be a battering ram. the week was lower. magenta is last weeks close. it was lower than previous week. you still may get a shot at the redline. it may act supportive.. But if the week closes below magenta. the lows will be tested usually. on the other hand, these cryptos make the rules.

I know for sure you can work around FIFO rule with an Oando US broker. I have a live account with them.
The work around is simple. Every time you open another position make sure the lot size varies.
Example I sell 1000 euros and I want to add another position but keep the 1000 open. I will now sell 1001.
You can repeat the process as many times as your margin allows just keep adding 1 euro each new position.
You will be able to close any position at anytime this way.
1000
1001
1002
1003 and so on

Thanks FXIpMan.. I have Oanda too, thanks for the reminder ...
I have to admit, most of my trades are done by ea, the first trigger usually not good....later triggers are better, I use the same lot size in all my trades, in that way,it forces me to hold all my positions until first position turns green , then I exit all..... I don't have patience like Gator or PTL...I still work on that,, ..

5-6k has been talked about all over the place, well advertised, maybe that caused the bounce...I'm thinking lower now, maybe 3k...get under the cost of mining a coin, that would be bearish as hell....
