never read and act. read, look at the chart and act.
Yes I knew that and I know it even more now


But Now I do wonder cut my losses and get it back over the next few months(holidays and all) or go for it and let it go and well hope for the best?

I think his problem is when to close a losing trade.
that can be a big problem in the future once it becomes habitual ...

I read a good argument about why I should go long in the next couple of days. So I decided to let it go a bit longer, I've did this once before, was 150 pips in red and it turned around and made 200 pips.
Hey man, it's your money. But what you're describing is positive reinforcement of negative action. In short - you lucked out before. What are you going to do if it doesn't work out this time? Do you at least have a plan as to when you call it quits on these open positions? Can you afford the hit if this happens? These are the relevant questions you need to ask yourself.

It sure can, we have all been there. You have to realize that, it dosent feel good closing a trade -15 or-20. But its far better then closing it at -70 to-100.

good to hear. I haven't thought about reading the forum's thread about the pair, it's just the pa on every tf hooked me in. I demoed the pair for a week and just fell in love with it.The spread is higher than most,but it seems worth it for me.The pa for today has been amazing so far.

As for fibre, I just closed my last short and am sitting on the sidelines for now. Didn't like this little up move that just happened. I'm not confident at all if she's gonna keep going downwards or not, so I figured the best thing to do is cash in and not be too greedy. If I had to venture a guess, I would say she wants to go kiss the 3220 mark on the H4 chart.But who knows.

Just watch out, you might want to go short now or watch closely, the tax bill issue is rising today.

& why 3245?

The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.

I dont post here very often but do read most days.

I will be honest and tell you that I was once in the same position as you, shortly after I began trading. Many pips underwater with no stop. It was a pretty horrible feeling.

I decided that I would realize my loss, which was 10% of my capital and even though it was hard to take, there was a certain peace I got from doing that which at least meant I didn't spend each and every minute worrying about it.

Once I had closed, I had a plan of action to make back that 10% in 2 months (it actually only took me 1 month). I had a goal of a 1% gain on a trade (also my max risk which is prob a lot lower than most here), and I was going to be selective about my entry points, make my own decisions and not trade on what anyone else tells me on this board (although I do get a lot of good ideas from here).

And finally, dont ever place a trade without a stop (even if it is very frustrating when you get stopped to the pip before it turns round).

Whatever you do, I wish you luck but it was far better for me to accept a realized loss than to watch an unrealized one get bigger

Close out two remaining shorts at nice profit. Taking a breather, think we'll bounce around here for awhile. Who knows? Not wanting to be too greedy.
