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.
where did you short it?

Initially I was going to ride it up from 77. But instead shorted at 72, 83, 92.
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

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?...
everything starting on a small tf.
nice train of thought.

i have a general rule for this. i draw a fib from the current high (426x) to the recent low (335x). i set the stoploss to the 75%-fib-level and just bite into the sour fruit when it gets stopped out. i don't rule a drop out for now, but the recent days have shown that the sessions didn't really retrace and buyers immediately stepped in buying the highs without relent.

but the 50%-gib could do it as well.
edit: just for future approaches. when i see a move like this at 346x, and i didn't catch that train, i don't jump onto it any more in the inital direction (down).

Asians are really pushing this up again. Might get a repeat of yesterday.

I might go long the next pullback.

problem being that sometimes if price spikes, human reflexes are not quick enough to execute the desired market order level...
Indeed ... so that cries for some improvement suggestion then ...

Thanks Fib and Hatch.
I'll look into Jacko's method. I think I did something like that the other week inadvertently. Many thanks.

1 lot stopped out -30

Actually, I closed them all. Market said, Vlad you're wrong Should have cut it at 92 in hindsight as it was a resistance level which needed confirmation. All I kept thinking about was "bargain price for a short..... but against the trend".... didn't listen.
