Dislikedwell I had a great run up until 20th July 2007 and just blew my account yesterday on the down turn. All fib retracements didn't hold so £8000 gone.. You live and learn.Ignored
Money lost will always be made up via smart trading - just don't repeat any mistakes! And yes.. right now markets are trading emotionally - I don't think any technicals are going to be respected here. The market theme is 'I wanna get out of these carry trades and put my money somewhere safe'
I lost quite a bit just trying to catch retracements like an idiot. I had a short at 245.. and my TP was 225.. can you believe that? I just got a bit nervous along the way and closed my short for a 50 pip profit.. and tried trading retracements lol.
