{quote} I didn't know that. I don't look at range channels. But you may watch me and after time to show me will I play the same way every time. It will be usefull to me.
I do not want tell you how to trade, I am only sharing experiences and personal perceptions.

Market conditions are very important to determine before I take a trade,
Is it ranging? I will fade the extreme.
Is it trending making HH's and HL's? I will be looking for a pause, a flag, a pennant, a two legs pull back, if they test a technical level (resistance turner support) the better.

Today we both shorted the extreme of the cad range, it did not matter the news were against us, we shorted were bulls run out of breath and they started to cover becoming bears them self........I am sure many went also long there driven by fear of missing out and they also became bears by covering for a loss fuelling even more the trade in our direction.
trading is simple but is simple is not easy.

I didn't think about minds of others. Intersting logic!
I would like to see you post more live trades.

I trade for a living and I do not need to show often my live trades, I do it sometime for the sake of the community.

Saying short at 1.2020 with SL of 30 pips does not help someone who wants to understand, best is to show a visual representation or thoughts/reasons and have a technical and motivational exchange as we just did now.

Done for the day, take care.

I知 going to give it a go with my next trade didn稚 do it with my current trade. But what I知 going to do is place limit orders every 10 pips till I知 stopped out. I知 usually underwater 30 or so pips a lot of the time so I think it may work well.

If ur original direction is correct, and ur entry is a bit bad.....this will work. Its the times that ur direction is wrong and ur just adding to losing positions for an even bigger hit

{quote} Out - 20 pips. Sell again at 1,3092. SL at 40 pips.
Out + 30 pips.
- 20 +30 pips= +10 pips.
It maybe will fall more but I want to put the end of the week.
