{quote} Digger, good calls. Me: 2 closed trades both losers, 1 open trade with open profit and 2 fights...lol. Not a great day and could well be the first losing day for a while unless this open trade eventually covers the loss.

I'm short from 2360 for my sins, I'm just following the system and one of the losers wasn't a system trade, rather an impulsive mistake.

All quiet on the FOREX front today. The markets are waiting for tomorrow's CPI minutes, then all heck will break loose. Tomorrow, 2-14-18, will be a very good trading day.
Y'all leave at the most safe time for small players like us to take bets, right?

And also personally just something I've noticed: In order to be able to gain anything, you need to first be willing to lose everything. Unrelated to the above, just something to think about.

I’ll likely add to shorts off 60 Digs (green line triggers the buy flag)

I want to see if the flag folds..

You short? If you have some risk capital now looks good. should not be higher than 1.2430. Bet it is down from here. Would be surprised to see it higher to be honest. Think we are about to start down.

{quote} I was! I can't reenter because the market has taken my heart and balls. I'll wait until tomorrow.
Ah, fair enough. Just know that if you use stoplosses and not an option hedge or something, your odds of working well post CPI release (or when the market is busy at all really) go down - even if largely right, then noise will cut you up.. I'm sure you realize this though.

I'm also not the best at being hedged 100% of the time vs using the same stoplosses since it is not the easiest for smaller accounts to do... can't really do it from the same account to be honest.

Hello traders... didn't get an opportunity to post today as i was out all day but traded through the phone all day. very good day for me indeed. made a good %.

i was expecting this up move on friday but it re-tested the low and then went up. anyway i am core bullish now. Aiming for the 5th wave. In the big picture i am posting today, i am expecting a move to 1.2712 (61.8) of the 1st 3 waves as shown in the picture.

Short term (4hr) i am posting a pic here. Expecting a move to 1.2384 as a 3rd wave top .. (maybe more if extended) but at least 1.2384. then a 4th wave move to 1.2327 (38.2%) and then a final move to wave 5 (1.2437) to complete big wave 1.

This is my analysis but as everyone knows.. market does what it wants ... so keeping fingers crossed.
here are the pics.. trade safe guys.

{quote} I don't know mate, I prefer the idea that lots of different ways of trading an edge exist which doesn't necessarily mean the trader is placing trades to lose. I wouldn't dream of having a SL greater than 20 pips. I simply wouldn't do it, I feel it is unnecessary and this isn't due to capital rations which can be overcome simply by reducing the position size. I also love to move SL to BE quickly to protect units, sometimes it works and the price extends to nice swing size pips and other times it doesn't and I'm stopped out with 1 pip profit...
I hear ya ,,, its the mind set behind it ,,,, unsure of decisions,, trading timidly because your not sure etc etc trading not to lose,,no plan no edge ,,,,,,,,you have levels you watch and take your shots using your stploss with things well defined with your plan,,,,, trading to win ,,,jest of the point ,,not clear the way it was worded ,,,, sorry

I'm also not sure about the usefulness of using of Calls and Puts to hedge open positions. I really am not sure because I trade intraday, I prefer just to be flat or stopped out. It is simpler for me. Hedging using options would mean having to interface between MT4 and InteractiveBroker's TWS and that would be very confusing and for what benefit?
