Best way sometimes Ctic ...
Very true... I used to sit here and watch all my trades all the time. Now I do my analysis, place the trade (or OCO) set the stops, and go about life. I found that watching a trade go against me pisses me off, so I may as well not watch. If it hits my stops I say well screwed that one up. If it doesn't, I missed all the aggrevation of it going against me. I get to just see the green pips.

I don't like being married to the charts anymore.

I slapped another 50% on this trade @ 15445 bringing the average to 15425 - the stop is below today's low @ 15390 (35 pips) and the final target is 15515 (90 pips) so RR is @ 1:2.5

The dollar weakened broadly on Thursday hitting a 7-week low against the Yen, a 28-year low against the Australian dollar and an all time low against the Swiss Franc. While the dollar might not be the most attractive currency because of the persisting QE by the Fed other currencies where seen gaining against the greenback. The Euro is still not the most favourable currency though either as euro zone debt issues are mitigating the currencies gains and diverting investors focus to more stable economies as the Yen, the Franc and also the Aussie.

The dollar slipped as low as 81.28 Yen, and is seen getting closer to its 15-year low of 80.21 hit in November. As thin trading volumes because of New Year’s holiday tend to exaggerate currency moves it is possible for the pair to reach its post-war low of 79.75 hit back in 1995 and even breach it. Information on US initial jobless claims expected in later these days can give an additional hit of the country’s recovery.

I hope your OK bro. I cannot trust this SOB so that's the reason for simply watching and not trading. It looked quite bullish but then moved south rapidly. I don't know if you use it but i would definately recommend using the stochastics on IG market platform. You bought when the stochastics on the 15 minute was in the overbought area after which it dropped heavily. I'm sure it will make a huge difference GL.

Sorry to hear Chad. I have found in my experience that when its in a sideways channel at a major spot like this is that it goes from top wall to bottom wall. Engulfing candles, indicators etc. does not mean crap. Hence why you play wall to wall until it breaks.

You will get them back. Take care

BTW make sure you use the settings 14,3,3. Let me know what you think after a few days of trying it out. I'm sure you will see the pattern up and down.

Story of my life. If you look back to some of my posts over the year you'll see this was a huge problem for me. If I sat and watched a 15-20 pip move against me I would let emotions get to me and close the trade, thinking I'm cutting my losses short.Then, about an hour or so later I would see the pa move to where I thought it was originally going.I know just check the charts early mourning (usually around 6 during a regular day,not like now during the holidays) and because the volatility is so high there are usually around 4-5 setups within two hours on cable and fibre alone.I place my trades,eat,shower, and just before I leave for campus check the charts again. If I have no less than one loss I check for another setup.With cable,fibre,dragon, and now the aussie and new zealand vs. the dollar there are usually 1-3 setups forming so I place them and I'm out the door. I'm glad I have classes now because it forces me to stop watching.This is why I haven't been able to post on the forum as often as before.But because I have alot of computer science classes now I can check my charts and the forum when I get to campus.

Anyways,this last move down just gave me my daily fixing of two 15-pip cable trades.As we are approaching yesterday's low,I'm gonna sit on the sidelines.If she breaks through 5361 I will pay attention to see if plays with the 200ma on the 1m and 5m charts. If she confirms on these tf, north might be where the light is.

Just my 2 cents.Gotta go into town to return my toshiba laptop.For some reason the battery keeps wobbling.Be back this afternoon.
