whoops i did it again ! (quoting brittney after after a good curry)

about a year ago i stopped using stoplosses because i developed a paranoid delusion that 'they' were watching me and manipulating the market to hit my stoploss RIGHT BANG ON TO THE PIP before the market bounced to what I had predicted


Since then i have done ok and made progress but not spectacularly so

Yesterday I saw my paper losses increasing and lost my nerve and put stop losses on

What happened ? the market hit my stop loss exactly - right to the pip- again

As George w says -'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice ..well..er..you shouldnt fool me twice ok '


I reckon stoplosses should be either tiny or non existent - 'disaster' stop losses are disastrous - they get triggered in a disaster then comes the inevitable bounce where you should really get out with medium losses

medium sized disasters are swallowable every blue moon but disaster sized stop losses are nasty and made worse by looking at the bounce afterwards


ok this is war !

Imperfect world with only imperfect solutions.

Thinking the same recently, stops = lots of regular losses normally at the worst price, but they do protect against huge swings so it'll likely come out about even but it'll be alot less frustrating.

I'm becoming a I'll exit if I'm on the wrong side quickly at best price I can see, or I'll let profits run, closing both manually.

They absolutely know where you'd of bought and where your stops will be and they absolutely do hunt for them, part of my system is looking for the stop hitting then buying, takes patience though,
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

we just had a massive spike 20 pips .up ...hopefully it werent a rejection
It was a bounce off the daily central pivot (1.9534)

There is no way it breaks the daily pivot (1.9590) - this will be a good place for shorts. Looks like it's stuck between these two levels for the afternoon

Unfortunately there was no way anybody could've caught it and gone short with it. It was a ridiculous spike. Anybody knows why such things happen? Some big boys playing with the market?

Agreed, but that happened during active market hours. Slow afternoons usually have things stuck between the major pivots

the reason why we sinking is because the 1 hr chart has -ve diverence and its playing out ...the true direction is up (im guesing here big time ) we just need to sit tight and and wait the the diverence to clear ..

i keep asking myself why are we sinking? ...and this is the story i come up with

I am short @ 1.9565, adding more if it hits 1.9590. Take profit - 1.9540 Looks like it has a good chance of hitting both levels (daily pivot and daily central) before breaking out during the Asian session.
