None of you should be trading at this slow hour anyway. Get away from computer and do something else. This is not the time of day to trade.

What`s it likely going to be the status of EU tomorrow? seems like the trend is so far following the crude oil price very closely. The sensitivity to change in crude oil price is high with EurUsd... i feel there would be a downtrend tomorrow as the price is testing resistances...

fund money to your bank and let them do it, not much but it s not much risk
what we see depends mainly on what we look for...

I guess become a broker and hope all those that trade after the fact start trading on your site and you can collect easy money then.........

Always believe half what I see and none of what I hear or read.

Still long term holding for that fib 38.2 mark of 4300-50.

Could be wrong...have been several times before. But the charts sure look like that is where we are headed...

All your posts state we bought .....

not we are going to buy ....

a big difference .. I could say i sold oil 116.45 , covered 112.90 , went long 112.9 covered 115.5. , all after the fact it is very easy.

sorry but it is one of the things that bugs me when traders come in a say they made htis and that and do not explain why. And the WE bit seems like you are drumming up business for something.....

No such thing.

I was up nicely last month and I'm doing well in August.

However - not one trade was easy.

This game isn't easy.

If you trade real capital there's always an emotional component.

I know there is no easy trade in this game. I have been in it for 3 years and futures / stocks for 6

This month oil has been VERY kind to me. 1c = $10 per contract , todays move was a 500 pip day. I only traded the down part.

If you made 50% in two weeks you have luck on your side.

It also sounds like you are using too much capital on each trade.

Additionally - 95% of FX traders don't lose. (Bogus statistic)
Hey acumen, is this luck?

You can count how many pips that is buddy


I have not risked more than 3% on any of these trades. Because I moved Stop loss to breakeven.

Maybe you should stop arguing with everyone and start posting your trades like me, only If you are open to it. Or you can just keep showing your stupid equity chart over and over again.


BTW these are just the trades I posted on forexfactory. I made much more on gbp,aud and nzd.

Here is what I do ..... I take 7% of account , 50 pips stop , so 3% is at risk at any time. I can do alot of damaage with only 3% risk per trade.

I slowly build my account .. target 30 - 50 pips per day.

I have seen many traders who say how hot they are blow up their account on one trade.( not saying that is what you are saying but there seem to be some boasters on this forum)

We all have to remember how the market can come bite us in the rear end at any time.

I'm not sure 'feeling' is a system that has much of a future.

The bulls are trying to mount a rally here and they know this is it.

.4640 has been tested 3 times.

I'm betting the 4th time doesn't hold up so well.

There's a lot of news on the calender tomorrow so it could be messy.

If we don't see a break of .4800 near term I'm guessing it's time for the next move down.

Lot of data out tonight/tomorrow indeed. We get Manufacturing and Services PMI out of Europe, which could possibly surprise to the upside, like the ZEW. Also we get jobless claims, leading indicators and Philly fed tomorrow in US. Action will be very choppy, but I do think the past couple days have been consolidation for a move higher. There could be the perfect storm brewing for the USD, so I am sticking to my plan and bidding at 1.4660-80 area with stops under 1.4630.

Even if we get bad data from EU tonight, I believe that would be a buying opportunity on the dip. So with that said, I would like the EURUSD to sell off into the data!

Oil closed above the Tenkan line at 115.65 and gold continues to be well supported above 800! Looks like we might have found a short term bottom in commodities!

GL!
