That's a hell of a stop loss when we don't know what the size of his remaining 40% of account is.

The worst thing ever just happened to me.

I tought, I'm sure I had my stop loss set up at 1,3550... since crazy friday... I did a mistake.. At 1,3650 !

I'm now opening my account, suprise... Lost 60% of my balance.

I feel like total shit.

Totally sucks, sorry for your loss.

How ab your broker - my brokers SL's and TP's are nor accepted during weekend and holidays, always allowed to pass without closing trade.

Warning.....There is HUGE NO GAP.

It opened a couple of pips higher than took off

The gap is with your broker - not the general market.

I thought about this; as I posted earlier that 3800 is a monthly pp and double top from 03/17. I went short on the idea of the more probable then not (historically) correction within a correction. I don't know if my tp is good at 3591 but I'm not going to wait very long to move my sl to be+1. I will do that at 3603 (just below a recent fib level), if I am so fortunate to get there before my current sl of 3687.

1.3820 before NY opens, I would think we are done here. There is no faith in the uptrend I grant you,(and this presents an opportunity for the upside), However, while people are fearfull, they aren't stupid. The limited upside would bring a deluge of selling if they try for another round of stops.
The only support tool left is E/G, and by the look of the gap there, I would say that bullet has already been used??

GL to all. Have lots of Gravol on hand..

Not enough suckers on board long before dropping the bottom out. Once the delusion that things are hunky dory, and.... Once enough people believe this pair has turned, we'll be going down.

Yeah, I've got one short in and another set at that level (3690) with stops a push above 3720++. If we get a blast and hold above 3690 then I'll be surprised but it's the first of the week so anything is possible.

You got killed by the gap. Rather, you got killed by improper money management. A 200 pip move is = 60% of your account means you are overleveraged. If I were in your situation, I would have lost 4% on my account. Having said that, 4% is rather large loss because I only make about 10% on a good month. A 4% knockout would definitely knock my morale down.

I'm not trying to rub salt on your wounds, rather I'm saying that shit happens. You need better money management to stay in the game. At least you are not out of the game completely.

It happened...

270 pips... It hurts, anyway, I'll move on on that!

Yea, gap is just a word some people use to describe what they see on their charts. Gap, no gap, huge-run-up, big move, whatever you want to call it doesn't really matter. What does matter, to me at least, is that this difference in price usually has a high probability to move back towards where it came from before going anywhere else. ALWAYS REMEMBER: 1) probabilities 2) risk reward ratio

Ive been there, losing half of my account in one trade, (thankfully my account wasn't very large) in my case it was because I did not have a S/L in place and I just knew it was going to turn around in my favor all the while I just sat there I watched my account dwindle away. Sheer stupidity on my part but I I finaly learned my lesson.

But that has got to really hurt.

Hang in there, you will get over it, you will.

As one of the above posters stated:

Worst thing now is the dreaded 'revenge trade'....imo

You aint going to get it back today or this week.

Get drunk, clear your head, and don't make another trade until you are over it.

I hope your account was not very large.

Glad I didnt trade Asia up down up levels of interest 3688 and 3700. No trade and no opinion on where to take the trade, lets see Franky and London open properly and then I can make a decision.
