So..........
I just cut one of my positions for a total of neg 11%. Have another 3 positions open sitting at also neg 11%. Feeling stressed. So what to do.
I am going to sit on my hands today and slap them silly if I want to load anymore longs.
Will wait for US open and then will probably wait for Monday open.
Coincidentally, this is my biggest loss I have taken in six months trading live. Had to happen I suppose. Still here to trade another day.

thanks Nav, how are u doing my friend? been a while

hows ur roadtrip to profitabilty and the learning curve going? im getting there slowly myself, takes time, effort and self evalution on daily basis, think we spend too much analysing market rather than assessing own behaviour!

happy trading

We are at a level that I consider particularly strong since there were only 2 hits each time. I other words, it didn't hang around at this level the last 2 times it was here. We may turn here, FX.

thanks for insight, would like to think cable not going to move in straight line forever!! got profit stop set alreadly. just a case of searching for best price to get out rather than the bottom!

unlucky mate, keep ur head up, losses apart of the game and unavoidable. take a breather assess what went wrong. take time to develop low risk plan/idea. one rule i have is that if im long and expect the market to bounce but it only goes sideways i always get out.

good luck

well this is the break below 1.9400(1.5300 in euro) all the dollar bulls been waiting for, if crude carries on to fall further to $110 then sub $100 per barrel then things will get very interesting in FX. UK and EU data getting worse day by day also, so are we just merely behind the US curve in bad news, remains to be seen, general concensus among FX market "strategists" is cable year end at 1.8600 and Euro 1.4500. This is based on the premise that inflation here and EU is short term phenomanan and both ECB and UK shall have to cut rates aggressively to support growth and job creation. The risk is that inflation is not short term and lasts longer and growth suffers with the BOE and ECB unable to combat either of the problems.

Hi guys! It's my first time here.

We'll see if it breaks and closes above the M15 20 EMA resistance and Daily S3.
Life is a journey... So is trading.
