Anticipating or is there an actual reason to place the trade? (Only trying to help!)
Thanks delite,

Yeah, i always get home from rugby at around this time and always see the same shite! BEEG move during the last couple of hours and some sideways before moving South...

Let's see, not too technical but I have this tried and tested

Feel embarrassed today as i have done myself a disservice. Sold at 1.5500 got out with -80 pips at 1.5630 then went short again only to lose another 50 pips. total loss today was -129.3 pips, just don't know where the upswing data is coming from?

Alas i shall return tomorrow with a new plan. Until then i shall nurse my wounds.
(dailly chart see)
yesterday..we broke the low on dailly then price reversed and broke the high of the previous (dailly chart) market told which direction was favoured..

today price sank to 50% fib level (low of yesterday to high would be where u place the fibs)..we retraced to 50% then broke the high..classic cable characterics telling u market wants to go up

hope what i have written helps..if not i will post a chart

Sorry to hear that. What was the basis of yr shorts and what tf? Were ma's pointing up or down? Treat it like a business, learn to always use stop losses - treat 'em as a type of "use by date"

Just to add - until you can see where you went wrong (either with the original decision or with the decision not to get out sooner) then don't place another trade. This was good advice given to me and it ensures you understand and learn from mistakes witout rushing in trying to recoup losses.

Good luck.

Yeah, there normally (from what I've noticed) isn't much volume between about now and the asian open.

hope this may help you in the future

Thanks guys but i have a good idea of why i messed up today and the greater picture (daily charts with 50% retracement from previous days high) i did not see this classic move by cable. Come tomorrow morning (GMT) i shall have a new plan.

Thanks for your advice guys.

Today's high is around 15650 and didn't fall below 5610 there's no way you can lose that second 50 pips. Typo?

Ok got it, sold at 15500 stopped out at 15580, short at 15580 stopped at 15630.

try this..look at dailly for bullish or bearish..always keep an eye on retracement to 61.8 or 50% and enter in the direction of the dailly trend

the fib itself is useless but when it lines up with a support or resistance..the chance of success increase big time..

any1 who can scalp this market is good..its very tough..and PA is absolutely nuts

Sorry to perpetuate this argument, but I really had to respond to this.

I am assuming your post refers to Cloggie?...
Whole heartedly agree. There seem to be quite a few "new" posters that have an axe to grind. They need to go grind it outside this forum...probably would help them to develop thicker skin.

Action most likely will not increase until the asian session opens. this is what normally happens this time of day.

Just Buzzzzzzing in happy to say many thanks in particular to USD-Bear for his little tit-bit of information this morning which helped me achieve something I had only ever read about on various forums in the past.

I doubled my account balance today with that little piece of information and a little help from a few of the other seasons veterans here. so many thanks too all of you.
I learn something new here everyday, in between the chatter

Although I do realize that this is not going to be a regular occurrence, I suspect it's a little like...
Well done

Can I ask you... What was your maximum drawdown in percentage terms today?

BTW, it is a 'hole-in-one' and I did get one, albeit a 68yd one on a short par 3 course
