Ok, if ur lot size isnt big and your account is not down a lot, u think about this.

For now, try using 50x35, x2, number of level u decide depending on ur account size. u are only 2 level so it's quite easy to fix, at least for me. If u do this, u can exit without loss or small profit around Euro session. If u wanna take a break even, u can lower your TP till it hit break even, if u are not sure where is the break even TP, watch your trade and when your trades break even, close all.
If no big news happen, u can exit fairly easily.

I might give it a try, but I'll wait for now to see if it will drop enough just to exit at breakeven or small loss ... Also, my account would be under tremendous pressure if I double up ...
It looks like you put too much money in initial level. That is very bad practice.

There is tons of setting u can try to figure out, u can try 60x35, x1.4 to get small loss or break even.

Whatever setting u gonna use, just make sure u have enough margin to hold out the trade.

What's most importance is that you have learn something through this trades u are having now and do some changes to cater for situation like this in the future. Also, think about what will you do if this happen again.

I been through this before 3 times. All 3 times i put my account where it left less than 200% available margin. One of the time I let my trade run to around -$2000+ USD and I trade my way around to a loss of -$980+. I guess i never learn my lesson, haha. I guess I'm a lucky man to still have my account after nearly close to blowing up my account 3 times.

it's getting boring in audnzd. I miss the big move like the last few weeks. Hopefully we get some big news and it move 250+ pips

Too quiet = not much money earn
Looks like this week is not boring after all. Glad to see it have big move for me to cash in some money this week. Hopefully, today gonna get 200+ pips move again

If there is no new trades 3 hours before USA session, I'm done for this week

This is my 2nd time going through this hellish situation. I should have just stayed out of that crazy news today. It's great that you've managed to turn -2000 to only -980, that's a 1100 gained or saved ...

yeah. I think i have improve a lot after getting close to blow up 3 times and I think it's not gonna happen anytime soon. After watching and trading audnzd for many months, i kinda get a feel for this pair.

right now, if it break the current resistance, it gonna go quite high. If it didn't break, it gonna go way down to close to where it started the blast up

Change to 4H chart and u can see the resistance without any indicator.

U can see that in previous weeks, if it didn't break, it just gonna go back to where it started.

If current fluctuations have to be handled, we have to switch to the lower time frame. If you switch to M5 or M15 chart and 120MA (even 80MA), we can see that the latest movement has been along the Median and first Sell trade would have been at 1.2635 which I feel is quite manageable. Even M15 is viable option. So many variables but we will have to fine tune this system to handle situations.

Wow you really want your account to blow up don't you?

This is NOT a trend following system.

Do you guys think Bernanke will move this pair on tuesday?

Big move = money. Yeah i know this is not a trend following system. I knew this becoz I have been trading this EA live since Nov. 2008 and my account survive through 3 times very close blow up situation. I like big moves becoz it bring in big money fast.

I didn't open a 3rd position, but just rode it out .... it came very close to breakeven so I decided to take it and be happy with a minimal loss. At least, I'll live to trade another day ...

  • Feb 20, 2009 11:18am Feb 20, 2009 11:18am
Damn, if I kept those positions opened until now, I'd be in profit instead of minimal loss. Oh well, better safe than sorry ....

Any idea if it would work with 30 pips spread having there.

Would I need any specific settings?

Thanks for help
