well i am not sure guys but i think that some of you play without stop loss... not sure how safe is that
Very STUPID and I keep promissing myself I'll not do it again. Then I put S/L at -30 and maket turns at -35 or-42 then I think S/L why next thing I am -234pip. I have been lucky market moved back down. From now -40 S/L ALWAYS.

I trade without stop losses, BUT I must stress that I trade with such small positions that if it should go neg 500 pips it will only be 5% of my equity. (That not such a big deal)

i never play without stop loss... not after blowing 2 accounts
but you should rely on a strong res/sup to set it as s/l
thats the challenge

my policy is never to have a fixed SL for all pairs and all trades...it varies according to the pair and the trend...for eg., if u r convinced that u have taken a trade in the direction of the trend, then u can afford to have a bigger sl..

I'm becoming a no stop trader, I open a trade with a reason and only close the trade when that reason isn't valid, but I will stress when in a trade I don't leave my screen CLOSE button is near and I don't let trades run against me at all really.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

You don't really give it a chance. You are making it difficult if you are not in the right direction immediately...

Well I should never open a trade where the short term direction is against me in the first place, so the second the direction turns against me I'm outta there.

IF I stick to the above plan, then I'll do just fine, sticking to it different matter.

Broke 1.9720 I see but only briefly, support always breaks once to take out the tight stops.

Why I'm not really using a stop to be honest I want out before my 13pip stop hits if the market turns against me anyway!!

I've had runs of 9 trades in a row without my 13SL being hit!!


And don't call my Dilli, I'm DilliwiththebigWillie to my friends

I keep doing that time shift thing its a nightmare.
Im not sure that would be a great pin even if its printed Nav as the nose dosent stick out.
There is deffenatly buying pressure there.
