You shorted a pair that cracked its several day's resistance.

It can go back down, yes. But when a resistance is cracked or appear it was cracked, the last thing you should think is SHORT.

Now stop whining and put a damn trade long with stop at 0160! If you lose, fuck off! You won't win if you focus on the fear of losing

500 pips 5% 1:1

Why would I get ya wrong dude ? anyways, I usually open up a cluster of positions(one or two dozen) which take like 30% - 40% of my equity.

I'm not from the Warren Buffet club with 30B in kitty at 1:1 or 1:10
my leverage is 1:100 but my SLs sit very close at around 30 pips or so, sometimes as small as 15

hope this helps !

----------------

Today, I went against my timings and as we all know right timing is the key and I keep failing 2-3 times every fortnight.

yea, one thing, I fear a lot a lot a lot, I start focusing on future timings and forget whats going on today and thus sometimes make a wrong decision BUT thats how noobs like me learn. I'm learning while earning.

for now, I'll just prepare my mind for the next week, hope all good ahead for all !

and I find you guys very smart n intelligent !

I completly understand....

I just said that because many ppl around here lose their heads on anything if they feel that they are being criticized.

A few days ago, a guy insulted me by PM just because i insist that 10% year is completly ridiculous for a good trader with a few Ks account.

Come on man, I just lost 10% of my equity, just chilllll plzzzz

If I can learn lessons from today, maybe I've saved a lot by not doing the same in future.

I know that loss hurts, particularly to noobs, but its fine man, I'm learning

shit like this happens. Just don't focus on the fear next time. Focus on why are you taking a trade and if you're not taking a trade based on the same assumptions that push you to lose before....

And reduce this damn exposure. Don't put 10% of your account in jeopardy with 30-40 pips SL in a highly volatile market as this one...

Few weeks ago we were begging for cable to trade a 100 pips range day. Yesterday it traded 150 down, 150 up, 50 down, 50 up. A 30 pip SL is a killer under these conditions.

The last two weeks i made on average 0.9% a day risking 3% and I have started this forex thing 2.5 years ago so I consider myself a newbie... How about a good trader or a veteran????

I tried to explain not only... with trading.


I gave this example.

Why the biggest economies in the world grow at a medium/max 3 percent... with 1-2% in bad times, and the emerging markets are growing 10 percent average.

See.. how simple is it to understand that low money grow faster in percentage speaking.

The guy gave me the "F" word

Anyone wanna bet - i say Core PCE Price Index will be very low - just because i believe the numbers from US are made up these days.

It has to be low for the fed and bush to hint at rate cute in later speech - if its high they will be contradicting if they cut rates.
