{quote} Thanks Garrick for a valued advice. I choose to hold trades. Recently my best trades turned to be short ones. This looks like the way forwards with currency pairs. I need to look into futures for long term investment. Got enough of seeing red numbers. Part of my trades I was holding since mid summer. My stop loss was set at 13520, manually closed early. What can I say... markets are cruel, get in, take what's yours and get out. Always follow trend (f.e today). Best to take smaller profits, then let it go against

Don, not always works how you plan or want to be. This is risk taking, some days you are lucky, some are not.

Just came back to see GU crushed! Most of the people trying to buy but their stops keep getting hit. Why try catch a falling knife? Personally, i better get trap going in the direction of the trade rather than trying to predict turning points. Market does what it wants.

We might not even see significant pullback because the smart mind knows they will release most trapped traders, yet they want to smash them entirely. I wont be surprised if Price consolidate and continue with the down move. However, if it gives me a pullback, i'll ride it down hard.

DXY, i'm still bullish

Those who made money selling GU, congrats!

Reason for dollar gain:

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday the U.S. economy is still far from achieving maximum employment, a key component of the central bank's requirements for raising interest rates.
"What I said last week was that we had all but met the test for tapering," said Powell, testifying before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. "I made it clear that we are, in my view, a long way from meeting the test for maximum employment."
Fed officials said they would keep buying $120 billion a month in bonds until there is "substantial further progress" toward the Fed's maximum employment and inflation goals, but they have set a higher bar for raising interest rates."

Same story with me, never giving up.
Back in 2010 from Zero to £50k in less then a year trading after hours on mobile. Later followed good signals comp, overtraded, lost all, wrong, never trust anyone!
Took a break from markets.
From Jan this year got involved in a investment scam, lost nearly £50k. Sold my car. Recovering money back.

Back to Fx since June, working OK, need more research, commitment and time for analysis. Possible to achieve.
Sounds crazy but I like financial markets. Will only give up when pleased with my results.
Stay positive, believe in yourself, you will achieve!

Yea I did struggle today I gotta say. Like WaveG says I love the rangy conditions being primarily a scalper and go in almost expecting this every day. The beauty is you can just take one or two very quick high RR trades a day that will be good in 80% of market conditions.

I do have to look back at days like this and ask myself why I try to bone headedly try and catch a falling knife, but the fact of the matter is we don't truly know in advance when it's gonna range and when it will breakout...very easy to fall into mental traps based on past experience. There are some range trading tricks which just flat out failed today. S&D zones, forget it, several got blasted straight out.

Now the real kicker is can swing/intraday/scalp be combined somehow into one happy medium ? I'm not sure if it can frankly, there was a time earlier in the year where I was having some good success intraday so started thinking I knew how to swing as well... (I didn't), and ended up just not taking profit when I should have. I honestly think you just have to stick with one specific style and become a master of it and try not to overexpose yourself.

I'm looking at that bond auction too as the primary driver as it was GBP specific and did send the Gilt market into overdrive. I'm gonna be more aware of this event and also I think Tuesdays tend to be big move days so I'll maybe try and ride the direction better on these active days. Whilst not gonna hindsight justify any decisions it's good to be cognizant of improvements to trading plan etc, things to watch.

Thanks to all the Gurus on here with their great short calls but hey ultimately you got to trust yourself and nobody else

Those who watched my analysis on GU crushed the market on the sell. Those who were chasing 1.38 got stopped out. Sorry to hear that fellow traders.


Happy Trading everyone.

IF this week GBPSEK hits the target to my target and week closes around it, I have found what I was looking, however never stop learning. Everything is planned before it happens. We need just to exploit the intention. Absence of proof doesn't mean it's true or false. Just research, learn and everything is possible.

It seems like all our stories in this trading journey are very similar as most of us had to sacrifice a lot. However, one thing that we all have in common is believing and never giving up. All the best man

I think the new coming traders are very lucky social media and so on

1 youtube
2 telegram
3 friends or mentor nearby to learn from

in 2008-2009 when i was getting into fx nobody is available to teach me in my country, most mentors i found are on FF and mostly struggling too but more knowledgable than me..

i can only say i am better than before but i am still here learning with the same ups and downs, how did i survive? i spent several hours screening charts changing colors and strategies and worst of it i didn't know there were people that actually decide what should happen.
to succeed was my main goal but it didnt know i am ready to punch my computer losing money every day and refunding.

DONT GIVE UP U WILL SAIL...

While its lucky to some degree, there's a lot of shit that people have to search through to actually find something decent.
