i understand your feeling when i saw that... i had same experience last year. i short 0.1 lot UJ at 92 last summer and close at 90 to earn 200 pips, then i tried a long at 90 with s/l at 88, but when i see price drop to there, i remove my s/l and keep add more lot long around 87, 86 and 85, i had chance to escape in the middle july and aug with average b/e or just a few dollars loss but i was still dreaming UJ goesi to above 90 and did not close or s/l b/e for any of orders at lower price. But what even worse was i intially set all my s/l at 84.65...
i am glad you've made it. it's my turn to now...

good thing is that you now learned something.
1. never remove your sl unless you have other means of protecting your capital (offsetting positions on different pairs, etc.), you see cocky people here yelling how cool they are to trade without sl, yet there is absolutely no guarantee that we'll have a spike next second/your internet or pc breaks down/you fall asleep on the keyboard etc. These people will lose their whole account one day, guaranteed
2. Take partial profits along the way or use trailing stop. I used to do both, I would take 75% profit...
thanks. hopefully, i can be really pro at trading. it will be my dream come true.

i think your 2 point is more of a personal preference.

Sorry dude....

Been there done that.... unless you start trading on conviction and not on addiction to trade you will have the same issue for a long time to come...

Used to be like you, I only trade when my conditions are met (they are not right all the time, but right enough to keep me a pip above at the end of the month that's enough for the time being)

So just jot down those paras you think are imp to go long and go short....
keep a notepad, write down why you wanna go long now, are the conditions met... if not wait... this way you can...

it is, in a way. it is a tradeoff we all gotta make. hope for more or secure what we already gained.

I used to get nothing countless times because of that before I changed my style and started scaling out and using trails.

If i can get probabilities on my side, it doesn't really matter that i only get 10-20 pips per trade, cause i'm fairly confident in each trade yielding some kind of gain rather than either zero or a big gain

Morning , just out for safety I tight the sl for the short last night but price correctly stopped at 3860 level & now 3815 breaks may comfirm it , anyway how many times it will abc correction or complexes . so waiting see 3815 broken .minor reaction chance 3819.
fontu
so price bounce 3819 & still in bull track , now a small bo expecting after 50% fibs correction but will short it again next up to 3847 or up . day time so not worry if goes 3917 or not .broken 3815/09 will do top formation anytime.indication 3819 breaks should be positive .

what not happen yesterday will expect today if all OK . Now pullback towards 3832 start short or nearer if next those lower levels break next .

This market is volatile and uncertain,………… therefore a trader should be consistent and certain in his/her trades

This market frequently changes direction,…… therefore a trader should infrequently change his/her direction.

This market shows consolidations and breakouts,……… therefore a trader should either play ranges or breakouts but not both.

This market makes both big and small moves, ……….therefore a trader should keep constant his/her risk (measured as percentage of capital) regardless of number of pips it moves.

This market is high risk,……..therefore a trader’s risk (measured as percentage of capital) should be inversely proportional to the number of trades. Traders focusing few big trades in a year may set their risk level per trade at a higher percentage of their capital as compared to day traders who take several trades of smaller sizes in a month.

This market makes both real and fake breakouts…………a trader may note that from Daily to 1H timeframes, it is very much possible that one out of every three breakouts is a real one, provided trader plays each major breakout in either direction with sls and tps way away from the range boundaries.

This is one way to beat this bloody market…………… and yes, what you mentioned does not happen all the time in this market, I mean not ALL the time.

Lets see if this is going somewhere.
1,3862 stands still. Was pretty lucky with this SL level right there. Or were I?

Well, let us begin...

Again, this level here reminds me of a big fooked up dangerous manipulation.

We could easily see a 300 pip gain on EURUSD just to fook me up! I know I will not be the only one. Still, holding this baby till it pops.

Italy.

6,839 high today. Pretty sick. ATM 6,819%. Barclays and Goldman saying it is gonna be some bloodshed in the markets.

Greece.

Greek bond expiring in march 2012 - 320% median. Pretty fooking sick.

Equity.

Prosperity in sight. Printing is the name of the game.

S&P did not convinced me yesterday with a breach over 1.270.
DAX on the other hand on a verge to explode north. Will monitor where it will open and begin its journey.

Let us say - when 1,3830 will be resolved, we should get a clearer picture where this is heading.

Ough happy days.
