Oh I'm so kicking myself right now. Noob mistake of the day, Sold at 1.37772 with a T/P of 1.37600, had to go out, forgot I'd put a trailing stop on and, guess what, the trailing stop clost the darn thing at 1.37772. Ah well I hope the brokers happy with me making him his spread for the day.
I operate with clear definite rules, if I break them I lose BIG!

AUD ... the one trade this week I didn't put a stop on and the only 'bad' trade of the week ... I guess that is what happens when you are ahead and get lazy and inattentive.

Last night I was hoping for a smoother ride though. And here's the problem with stop losses. I know the targets are valid, what I don't know is which way it's going to take to there. Maybe without the Asian disaster it wouldn't have dipped that hard and the ride were smoother. We will never know...

oh I am good, in Green by far for week, there will be a retrace and I will atleast be at BE. Not stressed.

my margin and everything is fine, If anything I will just hedge it until it goes back down.

I am just suprised that AUD & NZD took that ride.

This was a mistake, forgot to delete pending orders and they all triggered.

What are you expecting with the quake in Japan. You keep trying to pick tops here? Just go with the flow, like I have said all week, never ever look for a reason to reverse, keep looking for reasons to stay in.

Ah, okay, 'talk' of qe3 possibly driving markets.

if that is the word with no official statement, retrace is 'guaranteed' in opinion.

cloggie, to me quake matters relatively here.. COT was against dollar since a month ago.. it was only an excuse for the bounce.

could it be news of first wave hitting west coast of us thats pushing the euro up

edited: my sl has been hit since i moved it last night on my e/u short +20 pips, i will keep eye for another entry point as i still think e/u is short

updated: 11 Mar 17:17:36 I think the most straight-forward explanation for the dollar's sharp reversal is also the most apparent; risk appetite bounces, dollar drops

You get the best rallies when the fundies and techs agree with each other, without the quake we would not be where we are today.
