Today is possible up jump - h1 is oversold and Japanese can intervene with their intervention.

What I'm doing is Not recommended. To be honest I was not expecting this huge drop today and I was getting ready to start working on getting out of those shorts.....

I said before. My entire way of life is designed around not using S/L.... Not for beginners...
Not sure anyone was expecting this drop - over the week yes, but not today.

As for stops, IMHO by far the hardest thing about trading for me is setting stops at the right levels. The number of times I get the targets right (small pending trades while Im asleep, out etc), but am not quite there on stops just gets annoying, (but gotta learn on way or another).

If Im watching I dont use them, or if I think it might move rapidly under water (to fast to deal with manually) then Ill use them even if watching - so Ive been using them very tight on a speculative retrace/channel longs today (got 30, 25 off two, but stopped out for a few pips twice).

OTOH - if you give up with them, then a day like today is a perfect illustration of how someone could get their account wiped in a few minutes especially with the silly leverage often in use.

how's going? haven't seen you around much.
I'm trading H1 and above lately, so I'm in and out of my tiny office. Sitting around for 12 hrs.+ is not viable atm.

Then you know what I mean. It's a different style and it does have its own rules, requirements and state of mind...
I love this forum, the people that actually make money get picked on because the don't conform with the losers here.

On a major down day like today, a whole bunch of people are posting asking why? Why is it going down? You people need to get your head out of your ass. Stop asking questions, the charts were pointing down, the pair was going down! You want reasons, watch CNBC, they are full of them. Reasons are easy to come up with after the fact.

You want to make money? Take a look at some charts, check out the key levels and trade off of them with some tight stops. Stop asking why and start trading what you see.

Hello all So happy to be trading again after 3 weeks off (changing brokers). Went short this morning on E/U and N/U but closed E/U way too early for a measly 22 pips. Still getting my head around the new platform. In E/U now for a retracement scalp.

Please understand. I do close trades at a loss, and I do spend most of my time fixing what I'm continuously breaking...

O RLY?

So, which intervention are you speaking of, the stabilization of yen or the buying of euro?

Nothing. He is just p!ssed of that I am making money and he is not. Such typical behaviour of the failed traders on this thread.

lol. they stopped picking on me for a while now. i do get occasional nipping at the heels, but that doesn't bother me. my calls are OK for the most part and i know it's hard arguing with facts.

Ya, cause charts never fake anybody out......................

Show us your million dollar account where you trade off of only what the charts are showing you...........otherwise stfu.

Theres a good reason to ask why it dropped, it was a huge drop in one direction, charts dont predict that.

And maybe some people with half a brain want to know if there was news we missed, so we could avoid being in the wrong direction or stay in the right direction.
