Weekly close will be interesting. 6750 is where I draw the line for bears.
If price as much as get as high as 6790 and pierce the descending utl, I wouldn't even think of shorting as the mid term trend will flip to bullish for the first time in over a year.
Staying flat atm.

Dear all distinctive traders, I really in need of help. Could you please advice me wormboy? I still have short order of 2 lots 1.6506.

Should i Keep it until it reaches that level again or should i just cut loss?Going really nuts now...Forex is truly a killer yesterday...Thinking of it again i should just take profit while there was chance =(

I cant tell you for sure, but I can tell you probably, with approx. 60 to 65% chance when the daily closes.

Im not claiming to be the oracle or anything, I just take trades based on probabillities, and the past three nights I saw is as proably going up, so I went long on the pullbacks.

I also relasie that there has been some major resistance, so I can see your short perspective.

I dont hold any long term views though as to where price will be.

For me its just day to day.

We obviously have different trading...
Alex, you and I have the same style of playing, and I shared your sentiments from the start of the week (Bullish for GU. AU, & EU). I also trade day to day basis, with yesterday's high and low as my reference.

What killed me is bad risk management, as mentioned by Wormboy. My high leverage made it hard to survive long trend corrections. Thus, I am trading more carefully now, on minilots...sorry WB not microlots .

Gonna wait for another half an hour, if the 3 Musketeers break today's high (since yesterday's high was passed), gonna go buy again. Good luck everyone!!

I agree on it...the overnight fees are enough to kill if you stick it long term. When I was new and i tried long term only to see my $ get lost

Hi gainmoney.

Looks like your in quite a fix. The right thing to do is of course to close the trade. Then again, it depends on your position sizing. Presumably you had short @6506 with a 300 pips stop risking a mere 0.5% of your equity in the trade I don't think you should be sweating it. But, I suspect you have risked way more than that. As I mentioned earlier, 6750 level is where I draw the line & if price attempt to get any higher than that it won't be good for sellers. So far 6750 looks to be holding and if price stays this way it does look like the H1 will form a bearish engulfing pattern. Next support is @6650 level. You'd probably want to close out your position there and take the loss. 6565 is the next support, and we might test that level again, but that's about it tho, we MIGHT just So, don't hang on to it if you can't.
Losing is part of the business buddy. Matter of fact, it's part and parcel of any business, not just currency trading. Nobody escapes it. So do the right thing, don't let your emotions take you to the cleaners.

Good luck sir.
Thank You
