I'm still struggling for good exit plan any suggestion? It seems I still have bad habbit for "hoping this one would run off to the sky" exit plan.

Heres the trade that gave me the idea to start the thread. I have a few others, but I don't want to monopolize the thread...

http://www.darkstarforex.com/omfgeuro.png

2 pips from the bottom on the first trade, 11 on the second. Yeah, in hindsight I should have held a bit longer, but I'm happy regardless...

DarkStar...

I know, this thread is for smexy trades only... but i got a question.

Are you using Oanda as you broker? I thought a pro will never touch a bucket shop...
I am new to forex, so can you help me to understand why a guy like you is trading through bucket shop ? What are the advantages over ECN ?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I think the term bucketshop is a bit catchall and brokers have evolved over the years. If you get good fills, low slippage and no funny business who cares how your broker is operating as long as they honour your trades.

couple of smexy trades to revive the thread. Both trades entered and exited at extreme range. I use multiple entries if i feel my 'order flow' readin is not 100% spot on. But i'm dead on when to exit!

It's smexy cause I went against the grain and profited right at the top. Like i said, i'm not too good at predicting where to enter, but when it comes to exit i know 90% of the time where it will go. In this case it was obvious round number

Browsing through FF and I find this little thread

Here are some ones I dug up from last year - unfortunately I don't have the charts to show them! In no particular order of smexyness:

During a trade - don't sit on your hands - staple them together!

I liquidate my position this morning right after the screenshot, although my bias was to keep it to at least 1.32, the line at least resistance is already building to the upside so had to listen to her.

After scaling out of my short position I made a flip flap into london session and I'm curently building up my long position for the next leg up movement targeting 1.45 and beyond

max drawdown was less than 8 pips

I'm following Goldman Sach recomandations which serve as the "catalyst" that trigger this trade

wish me luck

all the best!

"......Goldman's chief FX strategist Thomas Stolper in an email said he it remains constructive on the euro and expects the single euro zone currency to hit $1.40 in three months, $1.45 in six months, and $1.50 in one year "
