Cheers Fib.
The 20 pip rule is usually my going start. As I use Murrey Math, the intervals on E/U are about 30 pips on timeframes lower than 30min. That 10 pip difference is a good buffer zone. But I'm only starting to notice that.

Very good advice though. Unfortunately IGINDEX doesn't allow for a trailing stop or else I would set it to 20. But in doing so, I would only go for a trade where I think the probability of a move is at least 40 pips green.
Hmm, I actually use IGMarket's PureDeal Platform for trade management (I don't use their charts), and I find it to be adequate for my requirements, trailing stops are fine. My one niggle is that you can't place limits for partial exits, only for the whole position, so you have to manually pull the trigger if you want to do a partial exit...

I'm on the same, but it's a spreadbet account. The instructions said I could trail S/L but I've not had a trade where I've seen it enabled. Yes, I also have that issue with the partial exit. I guess that's okay for now, but I'll need it soon I'm sure.

I would like to see another test of 1.345'ish area, but these supply zones are not giving much leave way.

The question is... more ammo for an upward move or heavy enough supply zones to sustain it downwards.

And the most important lesson here for everyone reading... the market doesn't really care what I want to see. hehe

aw man, when my account gets large enough, I'll leave them for a decent futures broker, they're borderline bucket shop really, although in my opinion one of the more respectable retail outfits...

Yeah I knew Index were spread betters, but tbh I don't know the first thing about spread betting...

Looking like price wants to push through this supply btw, like I said earlier unusual pa today...

So I was just sitting here thinking: what would I do if I were a central banker who needed a stable EUR, at least in the short term, to do things I needed to get done, and give political cover to those who, ultimately, I answer to?

I'd probably be a little tired of the technical analysts seeing a 34 handle as a big resistance area, and sell it down every time it gets there. Maybe I'd ask some friendly members of the team if they wouldn't mind going and sitting on the bid long enough to turn that resistance into perceived support. If the ones I asked had, by coincidence, policies that coincided with my needs, maybe they'd do it.

Now, I'm tired and need a nap and maybe am just talking my book, and anyway, I'm not a central banker. I hate polyester suits.

Your story seems like it is quite in line. You are talking about a manipulated market made by crooked people/governments.

I'm just here to ride along though, not try and figure out their reasons for doing it, ya know?

No, no, not at all talking about that. Central banks have mandates from their people to promote economic stability, and management of exchange rates promote that, from both purchasing power and debt burden perspectives.

Governments in the market are a part of the deal in forex. To be completely free of that, we'd have to go to some of the backwaters of the stock markets, and those are lairs of the real manipulators and crooks.

So

My positions are underwater and I didn't expect it to go higher now.
I'm hoping that 3407 proves it's strength by being the top tonight.
I would have opened another position there but I thought it best to be safe.
