I got too carried away with R:R ratios I think this time.


Look at it this way, get some room between you and any obvious reversal levels like pivots or fibs, and your r/r thingy will do way better.

out of curiosity how much profit have you locked in so far and where is your current stop loss. i know you have been long since the 1.2500 levels so this has been a 1000pip gain for you in less then 2 weeks...at what point do you say..."lets not be greedy now". a chart would help as well

I originally entered the trade at 1.2827.

I usually keep my S/L at the low of the previous candle. So 2556 it was. It's early but I have changed that S/L to 2848 which is this week's low (so far anyways). I know, not too much locked in but 1) it's a profit 2) there's next week and 3) I may decide to just pull the trigger, cash in and buy a new hat.

But why not 3750 in the long haul?

currently 1.2425 is proving as strong support as pa has developed since the us session. current pa suggests we may just break through it. Why is this important?...because it would be a change in price action behavior and we would actually be taking one step back!....as to the magnitude of the step who knows..could reach 1.3210 (the previous upper wall of the uptrend channel we were in).
well i have decided to short yet again with half a position (not confident yet in the bears). This decision was based on the hourly doji yet now we are confronting that 1.3425 level. Can we break through it?...im counting on it...then again...i wouldnt be surprised to get stopped out either. A risk well worth taking given the scenario i must say.

Just me... but I'm scaling some out of my short from 3528 long before I planned to. I'm not liking this support level here a whole lot... and an itty bitty long in as well with very tight stops.

What exactly made you go long at 1.2827 on that time frame?

from what ive noticed in my short forex experience of 430days(roughly) watching pa ...the majority of the moves based on fundamentals retreat to where the news was released. sure there are serious fundamentals regarding this run up from 1.3100 levels but is the risk worth taking with most of your position still open? Bravo to you if you can do that as it is your strategy. If it was me....i would have bought 10new hats by now haha

On the weekly? Nothing.

It's on the daily that I saw the potential

What percentage do your risk per trade?--or do you vary it depending on the situation?
