Very funny quote. Lol... Moty is not Nigerian. He is from Israel so won't understand what you said. Or, maybe, Google translate can help.

Well, been singing it like a song for a while today. That Asia low should give way tomorrow, or at least should be breached. Keep shorting the spikes till it happens. Easy trade.

{quote} Price currently dead on with my weekly pivot at 1.21202 and I have opened a sell trade, however there is a big but. If price breaks through my previous weekly pivot at 1.21275 just above I will look to close my sell trades. Have a great week, Cheers. {image}
As much as I would like to believe that the 4 hr time frame is my only time frame I also have to look at the higher time frames. We have a significant pullback from last weeks low at 1.20000 and I am getting buy signals from a daily t/frame perspective. I have a buy trade at 1.20789 with a 50 pip stop. A daily close above my green horizontal line at 1.20608 puts bulls back in charge, below bears. Things are tough, I know when it comes to this. a daily close above 1.21275 should seal the deal for bulls.
Take care.

Why would you hold losses like that

  • Aug 8, 2022 5:36pm Aug 8, 2022 5:36pm
So I got the short area about right but I really jumped in too early as the US session must have caught us all shorting and it tried to get us out of that position.

in any case the move back down doesn’t look finished yet so more shorting is in order, being wary of this move down ending today some time most likely.

I think he is very selfish because the price is not moving according to the target TP

Thank God Moty is here, so some people have something to write about, otherwise, they would be silent. Always wonder, why only Moty's traders are under the microscope? Other traders here holding the unprofitable trades get the message: "Sir, I admire your patience" but not Moty. Why do we have double standards here? I will fix it.
Moty, I admire your patience. Stick to your plan.
Always trade your own plan...I don't provide trading signals.

{quote} I can see the uptrend is losing steam, i exited prematurely with a small profit. The main reason i exited is due to the optimal entry point, which i was supposed to enter, was 1.20930, and if i were to enter there, 1.5x of SL i would have already hit my TP for today. By entering late means my SL and TP will be wider, sometimes will cause me to not reach TP if the momentum not strong enough. A mistake that sometimes I can't avoid, i have a regular job, i was eyeing that optimal entry point but i was in a meeting and missed it. Oh well there...
I was glad that I exited prematurely, the trade did hit SL if I had hold on to it.
Speaking of missing trade, I should have taken the Short trade when it rejected yet again from the Daily upper key level, and would have already TP, hindsight is 20/20 I guess? I might catch it if I switch to full time forex, which I don't plan to at the moment, I need my regular job as backup if things happen.

Generally it is a good rule of thumb to exit trade prematurely if you do not feel good about the trade, for me it is the optimal entry as per the rule/system.
I do not feel good if in the back of my mind I KNEW I entered even slightly later than the optimal entry point (the moment the valid signal occurs after candle closed).
Such situation can cause to not hit TP if the move in that direction is going to be limited, just enough for TP, a longer TP distance may have missed the TP and hit SL instead, it's bad, and I don't want that.

If I entered optimally, I will have assurance during the full duration of the trade, I will gladly accept the outcome of SL or TP, because the trade is exactly as per the rule, it gives peace of mind.

Do not be too quick to judge other's methods. We each have our own style and trade according to our own principals/strategies. These are not to be impugned. For myself, there are a lot of traders here that make moves that I do not understand. When I make the effort to study on their methods, I generally learn something of which I was previously ignorant. Of course, I am still pretty ignorant...

My mother told me (so very many years ago) that if I could not say something nice, then it was best I said nothing. Good words.

Let us try to help one another and not tear down.

Cheers!
