yes i should have in the end of got fustrated with myself and actually went short, mad with myself and paid the price....if i stuck to my trade orginally id have lost less regardless..this has been the worst week ever trading

totally upset and feel like i could just give up right now ...lost £300 by being 100% stupid
I am really sorry for your loss, bro. How could you have lost if you still had your long positions? Didn't you mention that you had the highest long at somewhere near 1.9565? If that was the case then on average you would be making money now.

Being impatient and ever overtrading, Navin, that's the source of your failures. And many guys (including me) already told you so several times, so listen to them, finally.

Look, you are trading quite small ammounts (as you somewhere published them). So why not to let the trade live until it is profitable? Especially with longs that even bring you some swap profit? A fast look at the chart tells me that there is hardly 300 pips span within last 8 days. Should you just put any trade in the middle of it perhaps by flipping coin decision, you could have hatched some profit - sooner or later. That is as easy as that. Naturally, put your S/L somewhere really far away (300+ or so), just for emergency and let eventual drawdowns turn back into profit.

Since I abandoned all day study of charts and indicators and started to apply this strategy some half a year ago I started to be profitable - naturally not rich. For this strategy you really need strict mm, i.e. for big drawdowns you can afford to trade only small lots. Still, it is very comforting to see the forex can be mastered.

Nav, this is a 2 hour price movement on a day with thin liquidity. Why don't you sit it out for the day and relax? There is a lot of money to be made here.

No doubt. I paid the market with GU this week. Fortunately I made good bit of change on EURJPY and USDJPY.

thanks guys ...i just feel like im cursed right now ..im going to sit this out and think about how i can fix this.....i think writing a set of rues and maybe a start journal might help me examine my trades and posible give others some help...as in what not to do ...

i should have held ....but it seem impossible to know what was happpening and now the event happened every1 wiser...going short was stupid (after the bottom) and bullish pin but there was a 1hr close below the pivot...so going up seemed not the right thing to do but 4hr showed it was at a bottomof a range ...so i was stupid to go short

i going to load up my account again ..blown £900 in 10 weeks (i think) £2,100 left
almost 2 accounts blown...this really isnt easy is it?

Well well, we are almost there

Well done, good "call", Moe,

It was a fun, at that time, don't you think?
