I hate AUDUSD, but feel like playing with some fire. AUD rate decision. A bottom seems to have formed and that's another reason to blow through it tonight. Short 6752. SL 6782 (30 pips). TP: Anywhere down below!

Hello everyone, EU for me will hit 1,0996 then down to 1,0910 and then bullish momentum until 1,1150 or 1,1180 max before starting the bear journey again

{quote} also long gold
My reason here was a weekly chart support near 1450 - 1470 area. I would find it strange to close this week lower. but of course anything is posible

i see on the phone USX printed a new high? 99,5 ?
99.50 again. very strong very resilient no sellers for now maybe only some bad data would imply some sell for USD
sometimes moves like this end up in panic, spike up in this case for USD and than staying
or some V shape but path of least resistance is clearly up for USD .

Next levels to watch in my view is 99.6 - 100. on the short term as in days

Just closed my sell here at 6714. It feels even sweeter that I stole those pips from a pair I hate.

Descending triangle on the 15mins. Continuation pattern. It breached the support before I could even finish drawing. Lol... Let's see how far below we get.

was trying to keep DD on a maximum 5% this is very good since on exception on panic moves on drops so i can increase exposure on strange moves.

This year there were a few times went above 10% when I said it's unprofessional, i But keeping a limit of 5% is what i think is very good and also can have a mental discipline. I also like to keep records and share sometimes talk to some traders. about DD.

A very important thing on a 5-7% is the ability to be very objective when you are wrong. close some exposure on loss that you do not feel as pain rather then is actualy every time a small loss. Also as soon as my limit is almost hit I see things I was not aware or news coming that doesn't support my view. And again I can be objective.

Like I've said position sizing and a low limit of DD is the holy grail in trading i turned on profit the most stupid trades I've made by being careful on size management. And if you can be patient in the same time in trading you can have some nice results over the years.
