I am not saying that I will not recommend to go LONG, but not yet...

Now, it is 1,0811

You bought at 1,0934 and 1,0824...

I have not bought yet.

I continue waiting for MY buy signal.

Good morning, Bigi.

Yes, that is correct.

I am not saying that you will lose money, but take into account all the pips that, day after day, you are losing due to the carry.

I always consider them. They are very important to me.

Nothing, Bigi, only that you would have been able to buy at a much better spot..., but that also happens to me...

Let us wait and see.

I am going to bed.

Good night

I wish I know where is the bottom.
I just try to guess and make some pips.

But, don`t you have a system with indicators that give you a lot of info to finally take decissions?

That is what I understood.

That and also that you usually get profits in a very high % of trades.

¿No?

But I am not going to buy, because I only open positions with a carry that favours me.

Anyway I will tell you when I would close that long position.

Profit can be more than a carry. The sum can favour you.

I know that, Bigi, and you are right, but as I always have many positions open, I prefer to do so.

As you can see, I only indicate my positions with the same currency pairs that you are using

I have just opened a long position with eurgbp

If you want me to show other positions when I open or close, just tell me and I will show them

This is the reason why I do not like to open trades with a negative carry... Sometimes it takes a long time to develop the trend and, meanwhile, the money is being lost, day after day...

That applies to the two open positions, eurusd and eurgbp.

All the BEST
