Thank you! I'm not considering is a loss, just yet, more like a loan! If I don't get it back ontop of my monthly goal, then it will be a loss.
nice to hear that

I like it!!! Yes, I like it in deed!!!
but if that trend line is broken cable could go up to the next one which is a little far away. Im gonna wait for this 4hr pin to finish if it stays the same then shorting it.

It might still go up, I think the bias would change if it breaks 1.49. But anything above that is a retracement that could likely see a push upwards.

I agree - same here

Started the week off +5k
Then loaned them 6k
Hopefully I can get some interest back by weeks end!

Oil down $42ish area - may help to weaken gbp also

HEY thats 45 cents per pip, I think It depends, on living expenses, whether you want to trade for a living or for wealth etc.

ALso do you aim for profit targets over 200 pips or less.

yes i just have practice account with a few buck in it... when i start making 100-300 pips every week; then i will add more money and trade mini lots.... and then standard lots...

i look for mini trend and try to sell high and buy low... sometime i am wrong with the entry, so i trade micro lots and keep large stops:

today i went short @ 5092, 5146, 5226, and 5272... collectively i am up, even if some of them are down now. i will let them stop out at 5415; however the probability that it will go that high is very slim. my target will depend on the market.... right now it could go back down to 4500, or continue to go up to 6000 - we are in the middle of the range

after the interest rate cut tomorrow i will see how the market run - keep a 100 pip trailing stop once all the trades are positive.... probably close out on friday afternoon.

note: i am not a professional trader; just learning.... please take advice from eohater or stealhead, or some other pro traders before making any trades

Post your 4h if you would. Ours close off 1h from each other. I can only imagine how she looks though. Nice and long wick with a small red body. It's probably sexy as all get out! I can't wait to see it!!

I love today's new terminology

From now on, all losses must be refered to as 'loans to them'

I like being positive so I will think like that now

Hope I dont 'loan' them too much though....

But you've been saying go long continuously since August!!
Yes, I have, and I've been buying the dips and selling the highs. I don't publish every trade. Cable will settle around 1.8. It won't get there in a straight line, but it will get there, and still be off last year's highs. What's changed?
Tomorrow expect some retrace. Hedge or close, it's up to you, but the $ run is overdone.

Hiya!
You all talk about putting a stop loss on...well, yesterday at around 6pm approx i took a short and as soon as i was in profit I moved the stop loss and secured around 46 pips profit.
However, there was a SUDDEN spike in the opposite direction which ignored my "profit locked in" stop loss and stopped me out above the spike!
To add insult to injury, they took a 20 pip loss out too!
Now, I deal with Oanda and have not really had any issues with them before...a girl got back to me within 2 minutes of the query and said that it is slippage of 40 pips!
Heck! I had profit locked in....where the flippin slippage come from.
There was no major news either...
Oanda are looking into it for me(i insisted that they do this as i do not think it is right).
So, reason for my post is to just ask how anyone can keep positions open even with secured profit if this kinda thing happens?
Has anyone else expereinced this kind of thing?
Appreciate a response.

Here it is.... the top of the channel may line up with the 5sma soon though so might offer some support there....
