Think about it like that... When you borrow 1.9 Trillion and declare a plan to borrow another 3 Trillions & you have a huge public debt bigger than the GDP will your currency get strong or weak? now how you pump 1.9 Trillion in forex and make money in the process?

You create a fall first challenging the main trend of 600 or 750 pips and you pump the 1.9T when everyone less expect it of 400 to 500 pips up in one day & at the end of the market week trading day.

That's how i see it for tomorrow... even 1.24 will not surprise me as the 1.9 T still need to be pumped in the Forex market

3 days in a row now the Daily closes are at the very bottom... The one time I try to have an open stop loss and exit on some type of pullback is of course the one time we don't get one in 180 pips. I kept adding and IG decided to cut half my position at 1.17625. since my margin has been negative for 3 days. Crazy how if I had done this on the last 10 of my losses, I'd have made alot of money but the one time I try it it's a 1 direction move. Rough week, hopefully tomorrow there will be some retrace.

IG are crooks- they shut the platform down for 3 days intermittently during the Gamestop saga- unreal. I just got a Pro account with them though so it makes adding swing trades a lot easier. Sorry it went against you, the last couple of days haven't been easy!

Margin call in 180 pips! this is an aggressive trading!, money management is very important. in my case I trade only with 5% of my balance.

Your secret mathematical formula revealed this to you?
Some guy in this thread said it earlier, but it bears repeating: Market can probably stay in oversold/overbought area longer than you can stay solvent.

Not saying it will though

Yes, it did. I know what I have, and I know that no one on this forum or any other forum has posted anything remotely close. I did not start trading yesterday, just so you know. As far as insolvency in an overbought and oversold area would happen is if you don't know what your doing. I don't have that problem.
Why don't you post something useful for everyone and mind your own business.

I can't tell if it's just absolutely terrible luck or if I'm being hunted. Here are literally the last 4 trades I've taken:

I took a long at 3/16 and got stopped at 1.1880 (8 pip stop, stopped by the spread) before going up
I took a short at 3/18 and got stopped at 1.1989 (10 pip stopped by the spread) before massively dropping
I took a long at 3/19 and I moved my stop further than I normally do to 1.1875 (16 pip stop, low was 1 pip). 1.1874 was the low of the day (1 pip) before retracing to 1.19104

I took a long 2 days ago and decided to try a new method. I entered without stop and when my mental stop hit, I decided to just hold and wait for a pullback instead of getting stopped at the bottom. After a 70 pip drop with seemingly no real pullback at all, half my position was closed at 1.1762 which is currently the low. I've successfully been stopped at the worst possible times for all my trades regardless of what random stop size I've used.

The remaining of my current long has a hard stop at 1.1736. If we bounce up from here, it's way too convenient for me to get half my position force closed at the absolute bottom again. If price actually hits my hard stop perfectly before reversing, I'll need to do some hard analysis.

There have been 3 other recent trades before my 3/16 trade that gets stopped by 1 pip as well regardless if I used a small 8-10 pip stop or a 25-30 pip stop.

8 and 10 pip stops are for scalping. So if you tried another method of trading you need to adjust your stops to that methodology. I would not use another method until I practiced sufficiently on demo or micro lot live.

you're very right, they will continue to reduce their long position on EUR, even now (25th of march), but it wont stay like that for long, i think it will go down to 1.70 then start to rise up, or I could be totally wrong and it will start rising right now.

I know 8-10 pips is too greedy , that’s why I’ve tried other bigger size stops and random sizes. I’m just frustrated that no matter what random number I’ve tried, These last 3 weeks I’ve always been cut at the worst possible place. The other times I picked a top/bottom correctly, I placed entries where my stop would’ve been and it just went straight in my direction from where I was going to enter

Just a very frustrating 3 weeks for me.

What you describe sounds totally familiar to me, but you have to recognise the market will gravitate towards peoples stops for liquidity so the real players can build bigger positions. How many times have you seen the market make a big move only to whipsaw back to the origin of that move just to continue its original direction.. this is totally deliberate. It's not personal (if it feels that way, it's because traders tend to be looking at the same things, and put stops and similar places), it's how this market works and it's savage.

Set your stops to breakeven aggressively if you're going to intraday scalp and be aware that the market will come back for them. Ideally (and I've learnt this through months of bitter experience) enter your position when they come back, not as they're breaking away. Confirmation then wait for pullback is always the best way. In terms of hard analysis, yea- I journal absolutely everything and analyse my mistakes hard, more than my successes. I highly recommend this!
