Good result there mate.

Thinking this through though, and not to rescue myself fromt eh pain of the loss, I think that once stuck in a relatively directionless range like that the options are 1) take the loss and get out (which you did and reversed your trade), 2) play #2, but the prices had gone way beyond BE into the red or 3) with the price stalling take the 50-50 option to stay in a perhaps have the price go your way - maybe not, as in this case. If it is a 50/50 option. Then faced with the same option again and playing it the same way the law of probabilities will even out the outcomes. However if we always get out at a loss, then we'll always wind up with the loss - and we have a probability of one (i.e. certainty).

Guys,

Sometimes your stops get hit, so what? This is one of those cases.

I would have played number 2 myself, wait for price to either come back down to entry (and get out close to be) or let my stop get hit.

Big deal if your stops get hit, its the price we pay for trading

Gev, where(price wise) did you go long and why did you go long?

OR did you just reverse as soon as you closed your short?

Can someone draw that on a chart for me, I really dont see that as a FCR.


Maybe i got it wrong, can someone draw that as a FCR for me please.
my FCR is 4665 and another before that at 4669. Maybe my graph is wrong.

Okay, it confirmed what i thought.


The one thing I have learnt about the market while trying to learn this is that, the Market is a horrible horrible teacher.
It will sometimes reward you for doing the wrong thing
and sometimes punish you for dong the right thing.

The wrong thing is not following a system and acting out of emotion
the right thing is sticking to your plan no matter what.

I still fail at that and am learning 1 day at a time, hard task but I see FX and Moneda are miles ahead in this process. I watch Paul now move into that step of doing the right thing all the time, regardless of being punished but seeing it pay off.

So remember just because the market rewards you, doesn't make what you did right .

on my chart there is a mini fcr on 54.. and it could have been used for exit.. as G did it right there -11... but.. to me since it was a minor one and was in the middle of the bracket I did not close my short trade and I did not for sure go long on it..
I wanted to see price reaction to the HH.. I took a chance.. with no wing that I am risking of possibly have my sl hit.. and I knew i can live with it.. of course this whole mini bullish ride did not give me a solid chance to excute my #2.. oh well its a crazy marekt..

make losing part of your agenda.. no sweat..
however.. 30pip loss is alot, but I was dealing with bracket and my sl should have been above it.. thats why i play #2 fakeouts much more aggrasive then others.. but this time around it did not give me much of a chance to excute it.. it happens..
