To all the pros out there: in a situation like balance is right now shouldn't he be more worried about minimizing loss? it may come down to him but still we are going up. if EU goes past 1.444 it might continue, right? wouldn't it be best to put a SL at right above that level?

(maybe i shouldn't be talking about this as he is trading real money and i don't wan't him to say i influenced him...)

That's over 60% of your account! I won't say close, but really think if it's worth throwing it all away on one trade?! There are no guarantees, where it will go.

The only thing that a trader has effect on are his losses, and yours are huge! If it were me I'd get out and take the loss, but I guess it's really hard to do that right now.

(I've been in the same situation a few years ago, and before I exited I was down to 10% of my capital, it was a lession I never forgot, if I had closed earlier I would only have lost a few 10%, which was still a lot of money, and I'm talking in thousands of EURos, not some crappy small few hundred EUR account...). My advice to myself at that point would be close immediately...

PS: I'm still LONG EUR and I guess I'm not the only one in the world...

Well please consider that december was very specific, and the last days we had we were ranging. We might be going into trend (up or down, we'll see) movement again and if it's up, you'll end up with a huge loss, or even with a margin call and complete loss.

If it goes your way, then you'll be ok, but no matter where the story goes, please reconsider the entries and exits and mostly stop losses! Every position should have one, unless of course you are using only leverage up to 2 or 3 and trading only the major pairs... depends on the trader, but a correct way for intraday trading is never to risk more than 0,25% account per position and not more than 1% of capital at any given moment, this can be done with positioning S/L's at break even and adding into trades or exiting and re-entering at more favorable prices.

Also your amount traded on a 10k account is way too much, you are using 100:1 leverage on a strong move, and that means one mistake and you are done with that amount of money. It might be a small amount for some, or large for others, in any way 10k EUR is not a small amount for an average person living on this planet, especially if it's lost in one day.

That's it from my side, I hope you do well in your trading career.
