Seriously, what's wrong with some people?
That was totally uncool - I like seeing people's positions and reasonings, and what they do when things go awry, mostly for learning purposes, and for confirmations (or rethinking) of my own positions. I would never think to torture somebody when their trade goes in the wrong direction - I'd rather see what they do with it, as I might find myself in the same position an hour, a day, or even a year later.
But some people...
I'm glad your trade is working out well for you... and 8% in 3rd day of the month!!! Well done, C., well done
See, if a guy was short euro at 4200 on the way up, say 1 mini targeting 4100, added another 1 mini at 4200 on the way down and profited at 4100 HE WAS NOT RIGHT OR WRONG compared to the guy long at 4200 on the way up with 3 minis targeting 4270.
Both are right and both will make the same amount of money, but if guy #1 says "short", guy #2 says "WTF? Are out of your mind? Picking top is going to kill you! Your a** is MIIINEEE" lol.............
That's the real problem about forums like this. Different people trade different timeframes with different accounts and targets and risk apetite and technical views and fundamental views.
Best way is to keep discussions with people that share more or less the same view as yours and then keep this parallel discussion on targets and views.
Otherwise, you are dead meat...

). I know my risk tolerance, my limits, etc, and I keep my targets fluid... I might not make the most out of my trades, but it works for me, and that's good enough
