So many position,how many % you risk per trade mate?


Thanks
Less than 1%. Hopefully building ladder of positions for freefall.

If goes back to 1.4xxx I will have profit before then. I am just not comfortable with longs at present until THV confirms for me on weekly and daily.

Nicely done. I am right with you, though as is my style, I have been in and out more than a fly stuck in a revolving door. Watching to see what is going to happen a the 1.368 level, could go higher if it gets above, but I am still bearish with one small short position, that is slightly underwater as I type, not contemplating rescue unless we hig 1.369

Been using/tested in development for over 3 years.
It is not a stand alone for position trading but very nice for scalping in and out using 1 and 5 and 15 minute TF. I use this and fibs, support and resistance and trendlines for trading.

Download THV(this is free here on FF) if you like, demo trade it and send me any questions by PM if you would like.

Oh snap! .3690 stopped out for +17 pips.

The insane US markets are following their pattern when there is a rally in the futures, sell off on the open, then go up. I am long from 1.368 up to 1.37 then will eval, hopefully. US Markets may gain 60-100 today. Though they could run out of steam and sell off late. Definitely the only things supporting Euro is US inflation and markets thinking this is good for some reason.

S&P giving back some of the earlier gains, price is struggling at the 1.3685 support resistance line. Futures are all over the place... It's both risk off and risk on at the same time

Pulled my long off the table, price will probably run to the 1.372 now that I'm out LOL.

I'm out and flat for now. See what happens later.

2 scalps +38 pips puts me up 4% for the day total +8% this week, hate to give it all back in this mixed up market right now.

It looks like pieces of the proposed EFSF plan are leaking out.
Here is what I know so far...

The EFSF will be first loss guarantee for sovereign bonds.

Under the proposed plan, the first 25% of the bond value will be paid by the EFSF.

This means that the €440 Billion fund is leveraged 4:1 for a total effective value of €1.76 Trillion

The EFSF will be backed by the 6 EZ countries that have AAA credit rating. This includes France. What happens if France loses that AAA rating. Does the cost to insure the EFSF soar?

Source of all the above is CNBC TV. If I find a typed article explaining it all, I will post it.

Here we go...

Plan for Leveraging Euro Bailout Fund Takes Shape

..."This idea is the main contender," one euro zone official said, but added there were other projects under consideration for how best to increase the EFSF's firepower, with markets unconvinced it is big enough to handle the widening crisis.

By guaranteeing the first 20 percent to 30 percent of any losses, for example, the EFSF could stretch three to five times further...
