{quote} sharingan9, why would you do this? You have excellent charts. During high volatility, your levels will be reached quickly. But reading the structure is the same as during dull markets.
haha I was just joking. Just noting the funny times were in with tariff wars and Trump etc lol. Your charts are smooth as well. Great perspective.

Never lost so much so quickly as I have last to days. £730 down. At any other time, buying at the top or selling at bottom would have fucked me in the arse.

{quote} Yeh youre right. I might as well just throw away my charts trade tariff announcements and Trump/Powell statements haha. These tariffs are shaking up the markets like crazy. The AUD pairs were going nuts too
Lol... All that pump almost wiped out. Tarrifs, Powell, and Trump rule. What sent price up is what's sending it down. Charts are still important.

{quote} Last day of the Month and last day of the 1st quarter of 2025 and I am sitting exactly where I was a week ago. We are most likely ending the 1st quarter under 1.30000 and therefore my pullback target remains the medium quarter level at 1.275000. Trade safe. Cheers. {image}
The up move had me scrambling but again my trades are offset by earlier buy trades which kept me calm. It could have been much worse, but you need some sort of luck in trading. 1.27500 remains my target to the downside.
Cheers.

I need to quit forex for good. From 2015 without consistency has become stressful. Who's feeling the same? This journey is extremely tough!
Mate, I started this journey roughly 4 years ago. My first two years were stellar, even managed to double my capital. But the last two years have been a serious struggle. I've adjusted my strategy, backtested, read books about managing emotions, etc., but none of that has helped me get my trading back on track. I'm constantly making bad calls and in drawdown often. What seems like clear signals with my trading strategy always end up being fakeouts. I'm near my breaking point. My only saving grace is that i'm still net positive in my overall trading journey, but I'm not sure how long that will last.

EDIT: This tariff nonsense is another thing lighting a fire under my ass. I not only missed what could've been the biggest opportunity of the quarter, but also got in long on GU way too late. I'm now trying to manage my losses.
Trying my best.

Lond way downside os comming. I expect a Dollar index to rise above 104.30. It will be interesting week/month.
It is nice when people like Tramppp don't know how to do thing. More Tramppp's mistakes- more pips to me.

A big bullish weekly candle changed red in one day, you said we could never do it. Well we couldn't, but Trump did

We are nearing the end of this hellish week. I'm happy for the traders here who earned during this time Unfortunately, I'm not one of those traders...

My perspective on daily GU chart :

Click to Enlarge Name: screenshot.png Size: 193 KB

Those who know me from before know I trade long-term swings using Ichimoku Kinko Hyo as a basis for my speculation. From my point of view, GU is still bullish long-term. The thick, rising green kumo indicates that. Price is hovering around 1.288x-1.299x, which sits uneasily at the Kijun-sen (base line/slow line/blue line) of my system. I am keen on maintaining my bullish stance until there are stronger indicators of sustained bearish energy. Currently, I am looking at 1.276x-1.277x for a possible retracement upwards, in which case I'll put some buy orders in.

News-wise, Trump's tariff policies and Powel's current unwillingness to address them are giving extreme mixed signals, signals that I'm too poorly equipped to even begin understanding. This may be the event that convinces me to switch purely to technical analysis.
Trying my best.
