{quote} I've said last week i am really afraid going short on GU - and it jumped about 100 pips from bottom
On any pair. Your risk is only as big as your stop. Always bear that in mind. It dont matter if it goes 100 pips in the other direction, when your stop is 10 pips. At the s/r. Your redline on direction. If pa is 90 pips past your redline. You shouldn't be in the trade anyway. Your redline was wrong. That to me is the biggest hurdle in trading. Knowing when your wrong, and having a predetermined plan to exit. Long before the account suffers.

{quote} that's terrible on the teacher's behalf. I watch your posts to sponge...in a good way. Im a three year newbie and some of the systems, appear a little complicated for "newbies". It is a compliment. Thanks for the posts.
High school teachers dating students was common in my day. It was normal. It wasn't even taboo. Hell i know a D.A. who dated his female teacher. He then was 15 and she 22. They are still married the last I heard. Go back 100 years. Many of our grandmothers married at 13, 14, 15. They were spitting out kids every 12 months. Everything is relative.

true but you need to find what suits you. maybe better traders were short GU and they manage to close in time
but even if they were you still had to have about 70-80 pips stop so you were not taken out bu spikes in the last week
i was already in longs before dump to 1.315 happen.
now i think some dip will happen again, i just can't short

if M/M is ok i don't see a problem risking the amount you can lose in hope of getting some.
real life is not full of 1/3 r/r scenarios. at least it doesnt' work for me like this.

stops in the 3276+ area were ok.. it is a R.. so is 3292.. Now you want 1h closes below 3258 if short.
If it did test 3292.. You needed a 1h close below 3276 and later 3258.

"Most people" put wide stops. Thinking they "dont want their stops hit". The evidence is "most people" fail. The opposite way of thinking is. You want your stops hit. But you want them hit early. You can place bigger size trades with less risk. It gives one more discipline to wait for a price. And already know the redline. So one can place the pending trades knowing the risk. Waiting for the best extreme price. Means you will miss lots of trades. But you're runners will last longer. That more than makes up for the bad ones. Learning s/r is key. Not placing trades early gives most a automatic pay raise. Or at least a decrease in loss size,

{quote} also trying to get some more GU near 1.324 stops wider here at least 100 p first target 1.33 - doesn't' seems a good R/R but i'll take it i think GU can print 1.35 in the next weeks nice comeback for GU this week Also gonna buy GJ next week but probably after FED or @150.3 stop 200 pips below for a run to to new Highs 1/3 tp 151 tp2 152.2 (2/3) and one to run but will probably enter also using more orders.

So we got the dip to 1.324 - amazing.

Buyers knew their spot. #omicron

its definitely is looking less deadly. In the Northern hemisphere winter is coming. People will be inside more, keeping warm. It may be less deadly. But a more % of people will contract it. The deaths % more be lower. I'm not so sure the death figure wont be high. Everybody gets it. It dont matter if you have a vaccine or not. The vaccinated are spreading it too. The virus has learned to bypass the antibodies to spread to most everyone. All we need now is a more deadly mutation. "Life finds a way."
