I did delete a post I made earlier as it looked like I was taking the piss. It was just that I'd gone long at about the same time as your short went in and I closed just below your stop.

It seemed funny (to me, anyway) at the time but on reflection even I took offence at what I had written.

Anywho, commiserations - onward and upward .

That's OK Peter, you say what you like - Steve has a sense of humour & pretty thick skin (almost tortoise like hehe).

Congrats on your long trade this morning!

It's been a pretty good September so far so I'm not that fussed - the 25 pip stop from London open means I lose on average 2 out of 3 so I'm quite used to it!

Have a good one...

You folks are funny, saw Peter's message earlier.

The good thing about a tight stoploss is that if you're wrong, you're out very quickly. Less agony that way. No wonder they say trading is counter-intuitive.

It depends on how good you feel about the direction. I was long so my stops were way out there as the market see-sawed.

If I do ever trade against my definition of the main trend (which doesn't happen very often) then I have tight targets so I'm in and out quite quickly.

Stops and exits, they are the hardest part of all this. Anyone can enter a trade; it's where you decide you should get out either side of the entry that makes the difference. (In case ak4x reads this post.)

I won't take the other side on this one.

I'm going to bed so I can trade the Europe session in the morning.

OK, London open trade is long from 1.46165, stop loss 1.45915.

One of those occasions when I'm short on the daily & long on the London open method. Could have both stops hit or if we break out either way could have a nice winner on one.

Let's see....

What a day - glad I was at work through it lol. Sterling was absolutely murdered and Euro just sat there doing not a lot.

London open long was stopped out pretty early & daily short been sitting in profit for most of the day but not looking like it wants to break to the downside with any conviction.

Oh well, maybe tomorrow we'll get some action on this pair.

Kind Regards
Steve

Well, it was a heavy Red News day for both the EUR & USD. A big range was always on the cards.

I waited till the crap shoot was over and then went in. Dangerous day to be long and short, particularly with tightish stops. I suppose I have the advantage of sitting and watching as opposed to 'fire & forget'.

I know you'll take it in your stride - Per Ardua ad Astra.

Yes Peter, I'm well aware of the methods limitations but often its a help not to be around for me to cock it up lol.

Sounds like you had a good one

I wasn't suggesting for one moment that you weren't . It's just that I used to generally ignore the news as I was very much a long-term chart man. But recently as I've learned new ways to pull a few pips in these ranging periods I've had to concentrate on the news more and more to avoid trouble. I thought that maybe as you'd put the trades on before going to work you'd missed the Calendar.

Well, it turned out alright apart from closing a bit too early - but I'm a 'better safe than sorry' guy dealing with the 5-min charts.

Nah, I trade the method whatever is on the calender - with a small stop loss and getting on the right side of the market for the day, the big news days can be very rewarding too.

Good! yes, takes me back a few months - was just getting to grips with the shorter timeframes when I had to work more hours and work on new ways to tame the market.

Very! Nothing worthwhile is easy.
