no, you're not the only one. this week has been the worst i've ever had since i've started trading with these systems. what can i say, it has to get better. i hope!
DislikedI think I'm the only trader out there than managed to not make any profit on the GBPJPY this week. Seemed every stop I placed got hit, and I made the mistake of moving my trailing stop up too high early in the week. Had I moved it to just BE (instead of trying to capture some profit), then I would've ridden this thing all the way up.
As they say, that's poker. Er, that's trading!
I'm thinking the GBPJPY is most active at a time when I'm not available. If I traded for a living, I could adjust accordingly, but I'm a true hopeful Part Time trader--something to keep up with while I'm at work, and then be able to sleep at night.
I'm not sure that the GBPUSD is much better, but at least I'm awake and at work when one of the two exchanges is open...Ignored
