thanks for the news but a 6-month forecast of EU @$1.45 is only 250 pips from where we are at now, and it may only take 1 day or 2 to reach 1.45
to me that's not particularly insightful
but i do agree that dollar may go lower after most treasury auctions are done

Man this week is going really badly...just got stopped out again...this is the worst week I have ever had on the markets, everything told me to go short...

I have gone from a 70 % plus strike rate down to 25% this week, its pretty soul destroying.
this is what called forex dude - we are on the same side. chill out lest you burnout.

Permission to wobble my lower lip?

I suppose after a week like this the only thing to do is get back on the horse...today may not be the best day for it though, dont know if I could take another loss today, it may actually make me cry!

i did the same with about 20pips SL in a low time frame when i was working out the strategy for cable but i realized it did not work. i think the main reason is that cable is relatively volatile compared with all other major pairs, so a tight SL of 20 pips (actually 17pips assuming the spread is 3 pips) may be too tight. and for the same volatility reason, trading in short frames is difficult.
therefore, i guess a 20pips SL may be reasonable for less volatile pairs like UJ, AU, or EU, but i think looking at higher time frames is better for trading cable. (but of coz high SL means high risks)
but that is just for me, some may even use tighter SL and end up making more money

I may be having a good look at 6200 as that will be breaking the previous short term low on my 5 min, I carry a fairly tite stop of 20 pips (for MM reasons) so cant really afford a whipsaw...

okay.
drop me a pm & I will try to extend it as much as I can.
You have to be a little more specific tho, because what you just listed is a bit too general.
Thank You

I will give myself another month and then do a full review and perhaps join you on the longer time frame, although you have a larger risk, what I would probably do is look for higher profits in pips and then trade a lower pound/point, any advice on that would be highly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Ant

Many people are afraid of wide stops. All that is needed is some adjustment to the position sizing. Like you said, lower the amount of pip per trade. Comes down to the same thing really. The difference is you'd be able to trade off larger moves with minimal screen time. Less trading, less mistakes.

Good luck
Thank You
