Yes sure, I did the same at 1.570 (more prudent or more coward as you like) and now I trail the rest...

A case of the 'Congestion 2nd breakout' phenomenon today, price finding support at the trend line after a failed break out of the zone, for a true upside break. Notice the HL and HH that suggested an upside break was the most probable outcome in terms of price action, but surprised at how price cut through the potential resistances providing shallow puillbacks only. Most probable means not guaranteed.

This isnt easy is it?...
Nav for anything to be successful it takes hard work. It isnt easy...

I may be only trading live for 1 1/2 months but I'm sure of that, FX isn't easy.

To be successful in life takes hard work. How many of us can say well I just woke to hear I inherited millions of dollars.

You think Bill Gates woke over night or 10 weeks later and said I'm a billionaire.

Warren Buffet doing this s#$t since he was 11. So all these people built wealth over time.

FX is no different. It will take hard work and will cost u money. But u can make money from it but dont use a get rich quick mentality..

Learn from your mistakes like what I am trying to do also....We'll get there man...

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?
It is not how much you blown away or load that make success. Stand back and look at your mistakes.

You follow to many people here or who have different graphs and tech but don't last or stay long here e.g Abu-ward. This is the danger of this thread.


I was following your trades through out this week, you did hold on to good positions. The so-called pro trader - that is what they are doing. But it has to be with reasonable amount of money you can recover.

Secondly each time you come to this thread and people shouting short with different graphs you change. These people did not know that trade was at the lower end of monthly cycle.........the lowest level for the entire month or since the start of the year. That was the only reason I put a stop loss on my trades today whent it refused to go up, but as soon I spotted again what it was doing, I changed tactics.

It was not an easy week, next time do not open to many positions. Start with 1-3% lot size. if anything goes wrong that will not wipe your account away. That happened to me today but I recover all the losses back immediately and agressively, plus some profit.

Sometimes back I told you to try liteforex and open 100$ >>>10,000 cents with them, that is real and trade like pro with 1-3%, when you able to trade without losses and support from this thread you know what to do.

If you are going to be following people's graph and analysis make sure you trade together with them. Are they on demo or live trade, do they really open trades or just posting fanciful graphs? These are things you should also consider.

i had the right intention....just got carried away with the bias of hte thread, important to make a plan and stick to it....i definately going to do this next week without fail, infact i shall determine my SL and target and leave it ....i wont touch it for anything.
what cheeses me of is i seem to know whats happening but always end up doing something else and then see the result of what i expected, i need to be strong cause right now i couldnt be weaker..

thx man for the advise as always..yur right need to follow my own sh*t

Well the news had to be really bad in order to penetrate the bottom. . And the pair has been respecting the LTD since the 22nd of April and continually bounces off of it. This week was no different.In my opinion.

My original trade plan after seeing 1.9368 was buy. At that point in time I said its only 10 pips away from my downtrend line and it should find support around there. The plan was to put a stop 10 pip below the LTD which was @ 1.9348. Like u said the GPB was really too low. But I got got scared and did rubbish and lost money.

Now we at a point where it could continue or retrace to that LTD. Which wud carry it really below 1.9340. But I do see it cud rally higher to 1.9680 shud it continue to rally during next week.

I wud love to hear some one with experience comment whats next.

it depends bro ...im still trying to work out whether trading is randomness based on mass pyschology or dont it adhere to a kinda pin point accuracy.
because of the random approach i got scared about the long and ditched it, it seems to me the market moves to where it supposed to go with pin point accuracy and if this is the case then its encouraging price was supposed to go up...its the other appraoch that finished me off

interested to know what u guys things about this?
