Crazy - The Dax closed unchanged (ugly pinbar) while the FTSE100 held all its gain today.

You can look at the chart I attached a few messages above yours and see it was all quite logical actually. Which is not to say very predictable but still not very much surprising.

Just read that the woman at the head of LSE - Clara Furse wrote an op/ed letter to the Financial Times today blasting the competition.

Bet she feels a little foolish now.

This time I'm more inclined to agree with you, the range for the next 2-3 days will probably be 1.4-1.43. But still that uptrend trendline at 385-39 is a potential target for this month..

Hey fellow Traders,

I read somewhere that most succesful traders dont risk more than 2 to 3% of their account on any one trade. Does this mean that the margin put up for the trade should not be more than that percentage or the risk of loss (stop loss) should be no more than 2 to 3% of the trade.

For example if an account has 10,000 in it should my maximium margin per trade be 300.00 or does this mean I never risk loosing more than 300.00 in any one trade?

If you went intraday Long we lost 15 pips, but do not close no one Short position since last Month .

Took that short on S1 break Mike but didnt stay patient for the 1,4150 TP I set....closed it at 4165. It's a win and I refer back to your statements about preservation!
You are correct.

It's a win.

I used to beat myself up for exiting early.

I don't anymore.

You never win until the trades closed.

I think 3% is high.

I like 1%.

Simple example.

Let's say your account has $1000.00.

1% of $1000.00 is $10.

Your system has a 30 PIP stop.

Each PIP would be worth 33 cents. (10/30)

Don't get MM confused with Risk/Reward.

To all the bulls that keep bringing up the fact looking at a chart for the last couple of years is an uptrend even though they are day trading.......

A one year low will be in effect if EU drops below 1.4032

What will they say then.... "But it isn't below the 2 year low"......yet.

People become cheerleaders for their currency and have a built in bias. Meanwhile the trend doesn't care. I made trades against the US$ when it was going down. Why can't EUZone traders forget what currency they spend and trade against it if down is the direction it is heading????
I was sure we would see some upward movement this week.

Glad I didn't trade "what I know"

It's so important to trade what you see versus what you believe.

Price dictates everything... the rest is bunk.

IMO, STOP/LOSS should not risk more than 1-2% of account balance-conservatively 1%.
This is about the only thing you and I agree on.

Did that break the record for a single day range on EU ? I think so. 08/09/08 ate 08/08/08 for breakfast. Let's see what happens on 08/10/08.
