0034 GMT [Dow Jones] Overnight strength in the EUR won't last long because there are many events today that are possibly negative to the currency, says Barclays Capital chief Japan strategist Masafumi Yamamoto. The events include Spain's auction of 12-month and 18-month bills as well as a no-confidence vote in Italy's parliament against PM Berlusconi that risks his exit. Adds widening periphery spreads vs German bonds weigh on the EUR as well. "Long-lasting euro gains are difficult now." The EUR/USD is last at 1.3384, while the EUR/JPY is at 111.73.

Im in and my stop is at BE. GOOD NIGHT!

Just kidding, but thats the typical post I see. Show a chart and some analysis and thats it.

Position size, PnL, even go as far as to say entry....doesnt matter

But people need any excuse to stroke their ego so go figure...

people never lose money here dude...didn't you know that ?
its BE or profit...period!
i lost a metric shit ton of money when that short came unexpectedly =/ Which is why i didn't trade at all today but focused on my studies and watching the markets explode like a raging twilight teenage girl...

The only bet ive placed in the past 24 hours was the one shown in my last pic.

But i do agree withyou that some people don't understand that the only person you can really lie to is yourself, inflating your ego on a board is worthless, posting winning trades on a demo account is worthless aswell, its good for practice and testing strategy but unless youre really trading theres no point in posting it in here.

Also i don't get the shortterm traders on 5-15 Minute charts, even though 15 Minute charts i do understand somewhat. Ive just entered a position as outlined before placing a short, TP is 80 pips so im hoping for this to work out well for me.

just my 2 cents,

peace

what's wrong with the 5 minutes charts? when the market slows down, I drop down to the 1 minute and sometimes to the 30 seconds one.

when it's really slow and ranging you can easily trade the lower time frames, the same way you trade the higher ones. there is always trading going on. remember, you have to be able to trade any market conditions because it ranges most of the times. just take a look at the 5 minutes and tell me you can't trade that.

I agree with attilla, I drop down to the 30 second chart sometimes just to get a good entry and if im scalping, I am watching the 5min, 2min and 30 sec chart...

I was once told by a much better trader than I "wait". Once price starts using resistance as support........then the buying mood has hit the market. All we can do is follow the market.

Do as you please........

This all depends on what type of resistance, small resistance (small m5 chart over laps of hour or big h1 chart over span of 6 to 12 hrs

Not likely. Turning the market to pick up the crumbs the posters here have to offer----------------------- ya right.

for people scared of the 1 minute.... anybody see the trend? with two entry opportunities? it "stretches" (?!) from 72 to 84. give or take the spread, there's some pips to be made in just that little up move.

and then what you do, you have an eye on the 5 minute, see if it brakes some resistance. if it does, you hold on to it and take profit on the next time frame. I am not saying it's easy, but a lot of people trade this way.

the other subtle piece of psychology is that when I see a trade, I take it. Not much thinking.

There are some here who trade decent size, pushing for an additional pip or two to take someone out happens all the time.

I cannot afford to get slipped on some of stops so I leave my bids and offers for everyone to see.

An open 10M-50M on the bid/offer is tempting even for interbank traders and sometimes they will want to hit the bid or the offer. Granted I move the entry in conjunction with PA but its out there for them to see...

Its not really considered decent size these days but if your showing your cards during dull trading (asia session or sunday mkt open) you will get people interested.
