when testing , count 1.. once tomorrow NY closes less than 1.0866, that 1.1263 stop will stay,

can't short at this levels. can't go long
1.074 would be some good resistance to short. but shorting to parity ... ?

even on a big panic of 200-300 i would not go long so looking for other trades

i feel more confident in shorting nzd or aud then eur/ right now. maybe i am wrong

close a lot of positions took some loses even on gold.
equity had a record yesterday and then slowly going down . moving money again from account some of them in investments since i see panic agaom
some of them out of trading/investment.

I've had this kind of trading before reaching highs and then bad days next
I was uncomfortable all day.

no position left in any accounts. starting again - i will also use stops a few days, i don't feel the market ok

i was trying to see if it goes against me how i will trade. so just closed everything. - maybe it's because i'm tired. i have no idea.
i just expect market to do crazy staff again and don't want to lose profits.

Until i feel confident again i will go

1 - small position low leverage
2 - not adding to a trade that I've already did and it's going against
3 - will try to take money out every week, everything i make above current level.
4 - I usually don't trade with stops since position are not big. at this point I feel that market can crash and i will lose the profits i've made - haven't experience this feeling before - could also be fatigue.

With over 10k virus cases in the US, we are at the point on the curve now where the slope really starts to climb, typically. I see things like cases doubling every three days and I don't know if that's right, but at any rate, the run from 10k to 100k cases and then to 1 million will probably occur at shocking speed.

As that progression is occurring, we will probably see more hardcore suppression measures, including mandatory self quarantines, curfews, closures of everything, limits on travel, checkpoints with Natl Guard patrols, etc etc...

I really hope I am wrong.

I just wonder when they will close the banks and the exchanges. Yes that means we won't be able to trade....

No you're not wrong mate, that was in hindsight what pulled me out of indices a couple of days ago when Boris did a u turn and shit himself (or should I say stoped scaling in). I have a business that runs on 500 enquiries a month (domestic) in London, I'm down to a handful a day here...sure it's short term for me but the guys that work for me are contractors, I am not sure how they are going to ride this out. Panic buying food, etc. US is presumably in same frenzy. Bottom coming but I heard 'rumours' my kids are off school 6 months - that would bankrupt most families....I think a bet of a lifetime is coming, just it might be we can buy these amazing brands for much lower...

I think markets don't close because we are seeing Italian model play out a month ahead of us. Ban on short selling inevitable I would think too.
