Are you from Singapore? Are you trading live or demo account? You may want to review my previous posts for some trading methods.

Yesterday hit a closing candle @ 91.85. It's a confirmation of a short term downtrend target @ 90.xx.
If 90.xx doesn't hold, set SL to 50 pips. I'm buying heavily @ this level.

Yes Im based here now - and yes using a live account.. there is only so much a demo can do for you!

so far Im down by about 60% but mostly through trial and error... the last 2 weeks I have slowly been turning it around.. its only a mini account..

Reasons for me being down are bad trading decisions in terms of not knowing where to enter and exit very convincingly and accurately - also learning to be alot more patient and disciplined

will go through some of past threads thanks, any other resources just say and I'll check them out too

cheers and happy pipping

Take note that there is no such thing as "a perfect entry price". Enter the market based on the market trend is better than waiting for the perfect price (that may never come). You may wanna check out http://www.babypips.com and http://www.dailymarkets.com/

True to this. When I started this last year, I lost 80%. Now nibbling profits slowly to gain back my lost. I've learnt a lot in one year, but I still think I haven't learnt enough.

Back to the pair, I'm gonna wait till it drops below 90.5x area to see where it will possibly go afterward..

Just noticed a bearish divergence on H1, but I've never traded divergences. A good idea to short?

The downward movement is faster than the upward movement. This means more downside is expected. Current target is 90.xx and 88.xx.

If today's and tommorrow's closing candle shows a morning star pattern, a bullish divergence is in place and sellers should trade carefully with a tight SL.

so many story of loosing money here, actually i allready experienced also, i lost more than 30%, but lucky i allready got it event. and now trying to move to profit.

anyway on my 3Hour trend, this pair is trying to back to 90.xx or 88.xx level. so i will put more long at 90.50 and 88.50 just to make sure i'm not left by the upside movement.

I am also waiting for good buys @ 90.xx and 88.xx. But if 90.xx doesn't hold, my SL is @ 50 pips.

Nothing to do until the price hit strategy: Wait for 95.xx to sell and 88.xx to buy.

are you using a lot of your margin? i only use 2percent of my margin, so if this pair goes more down i would take another long.

I'm going in heavily @ 90.xx and @ 88.xx. Possibly many lots each for both positions. Both have SL of 50 pips.
