I am also a man, from England. I hope you do well.

I am going to say that if you can't do your own analysis to determine the direction of the trade etc, then you shouldn't be trading in a live account: I hope those who do need this advice trade in a demo.

Dear Galation

I am using live account and it is not a shame to ask some one openion if you feel that he have much experience.

I trade GBP/USD and Euro/USD,,,,,,and I put a short on 1.4700 and close it on 1.4550 and after this last retrace I also short from 1.4580 and just a little bet worried now if we will continue down or not,,but itis obvious to me that 1.4370 is the next down target.

What is your openion man

We are all men (or women, sorry, ladies), but everybody has doubts, very deep inside. It does not matter, how good you are in your predictions - when you clicked the trade the first thought will be “What I’ve done wrong?” It’s human nature.

You're right, asking other people's opinions on here is what the site is for: to exchange knowledge. As iron sharpens iron, good traders can sharpen other traders.

The principle was, I hope people aren't basing their trades on what a random person on a forum is saying. Yes, you can take their opinions into concideration, but don't base ones trading decision upon this. Every trading decision has to come from ones own analysis and conviction - that is the foundation for growth and long term success.

Sorry if it came across condescending, I didn't intend it to be aimed at any one person. It was meant as constructive advice, nothing more, nothing less.

I hope you do really well in your trading, I do.

Harping on again about the Fib levels... Again today cable seems to be showing the utmost respect for the fibs. I am flat on all positions as I am hoping for another little run up before the US data sends cable to the dogs. Fib extensions on this mornings moves are certainly pointing to a likely re-visit of the support level at 14375 coinciding with the 161 fib extension. It just seems too coincidental for me too ignore it so I am pre-meditating a sell at a better level and will walk away at 14380. Probably, hopefully, maybe... we'll see...

Can't post a chart for some reason...

I simply trade price action. What I used to do is open up the strategy tester in Meta Trader 4. I would open up a currency pair, and then select my time frame, either 4 hour, 1 day, or sometimes 1hour. I would start the chart going and then speed it up a little bit. I would then just look at it for hours, looking at the price action, how it behaved, the candlestick patterns, and all other patterns and support lines.

I trade on price action - that is my strategy.

Money management - Maximum of 2% loss on any one trade I place, no matter how much leverage I use. If all the positions I have open in my account hit the stop losses, my rule is that no more than 20% of my account could be effected. That would be 10 trades of 2%, or 20 trades of 1% etc.

I also have a few spreading and hedging strategies I use.

I like breakout strategies a lot.

I don't like most indicators.

For me,,,,my huge problem is money management, I hope to control my self and take right decisions and close with losses,,,I don't love to loose,,,and becuase all the time I used large time frame in trading ( Weekly,,daily,,some times 4 hour ) ,,,I wait till the daily close for example to confirm on what shall I do next and this make me loose, but all in all trading on large time scales and using long term trading is much better in this forex market

If you start with $5000 in your account, and have sensible money management, and consistently doubled your account every year. You would take that $5000 to $1.28 million in 8 years. (if compounding profits, which I recommend you take out)... Principle is, Forex is not get rich quick, but if you have the mindset of being in it for the long run, and not amassing riches overnight, then you could do well.

The GU is back at about 1.45 now. Just watch the price action around this area, whether it bounces hard, or hovers.
