In my opinion (and I am not suggesting that anyone change what they are doing) the use of stops should be used to carry out a trading plan and not for risk control. THIS IS A GENERALIZED STATEMENT. You need to look into yourself for the truth.

My position management is carried out at time with stops - because I like to sleep once in awhile.

My risk control is done with my cash management - meaning the capital allocated to a trade. The size of and number of positions that make up a trade.

I see people using stops like a fix for a dope addict. No longer do they need to be sure about a trade, they just go for it and if wrong, the stop will take them out. I just don't get it. I don't see how one can know that given a certain volatility based on whatever (I say whatever because nothing means anything - its a huge manipulation) that 30 pips is the limit or make that 50 pips.

Although not for me, I could begin to get my head around a person evaluating a position based on the current conditions and determining a max loss level based on a chart. Its support, resistance or something that had a rational connection other than the dollar amount.

I have found after many many thousands of trades that when I pick a financial instrument to trade, I am married to it, until I file for divorce! I am in it 100% of the time long, short and both. I have trades that have been open for minutes and have some that I carry for months. I work through my difficulties because it forces me to become a better manager or my positions, my risk and my cash. Again, I have found this works for me over the long haul.

An early Xmas present.

So, did we get close enough to the bottom of the channel right here? That's what I'm pondering right now. The trend is definitely down I'm just trying to decide if I should take profit and have good Holiday with no positions on or let it ride.

7 hours to rise 40 pip

30 min to drop 50 pip

would you rather be buying dips or selling rallies ? . I am not trading till next week other than a 2week euro sell I have ....

but for me i would rather be selling all rallies ....

there was bit of volume of the upper value area yesterday 1.5964 , but once under this likely gu will test channel bottom

as mentioned earlier gu is channel play 6020 to 5920

1.5907 to 1.5900 is the ultimate low for the day.

I have been trading for more than 20 years on a professional level. My result have been audited and published. That does not mean I am perfect, know all or seen everything. But it does mean that I have a lot of experience, made more mistakes than most and have taken 6 figure hits.

It is very common on this thread and others like, for the terms trend, retrace and reversal to be tossed around with an expectation of a result. What is missing from many (not all) in the evaluation is a degree of probability. The number of bars I am using are only for...

If you are on green. just close everything. its better to deal with everything before the holiday. THe movement will be very2 slow. you can start over again after the holiday is over. BTW. its up to u after all.

The market knows you. It is designed to move your cash to the house. They are a patient lot. Weeks, months even years are fine, so long as they win.

A chart is like the neon lights of vegas. In hindsight you will always justify an action or see your mistake. It will lull you into making a slight change to a MA so that in the future, it will work. No different than a different slot, table or casino is going to bring you the luck you need.

They know you can curve fit anything to make it look like it would have worked in the past. They provide these tools free (A CLUE). They also know you will make deal after deal with yourself, you will be drawn into the justification of what you see, working out and that EVEN IF they gave you a working, money making method - most will not follow it.

Ask yourself how does the house play the game? How does a market maker or a specialist work? Every moment of everyday they are either selling to you or buying from you. They move themselves into a contra position based the trend and the inventory they need to move. They can't pick and choose these missions, but they can and do manage them. From what I know they do a good job of that, making fortunes.

The most wonderful thing about the markets is that you too can join the house and bet with them!

Take care,

For those that have the need.

I am willing to play broker and take any trade on good for the 24 hours the market is closed. 10 pip spread. Positions must be closed prior Mondays open. Email me for wire instructions.

My plan during christmas session is based on 4 level. 1.5928, 1.5956, 15996 and 1.6022. May long or short but I prefer like go short when touches those level. I got success short at that level since yesterday, the last short all closed at 1.5930 ! Seems like difficult moves beyond 1.5928 - 1.6022 (H1/H4 close/open) !
