Well got it back which is what matters... U have always been moar resilient than me when it comes to battling back after drawdowns...

We will prolly see alot more crazy bond based ECB shit before the years end... The ECB is gonna be very busy bouying Europe by themselves...


So much for them not wanting to be a lender of last resort

yea breaking even is not acceptable though...

i hate being happy for not loosing it seems rediculous.. like the market allowed me to make it another day without taking my money... fuck that...

ill never be happy about losses or breaking even

gotta be profitable or there is no point to this its just a hobby..

anyways you can have looking days but need to end the week in profit

Thats why you got to keep the r/r tight man. If your wrong, be wrong, and wait for the next setup.

yep r:r is key bc at key levels you can keep your risk tight so you dont get stopped and then the market goes in your way after going a few pips past your stop

e banks closed.
e banks need to raise capitol as depositors leave. they sell assets
so the e banks don't sell off assets to u.s. banks/investors, when closed. less need to convert usd to euros after e close... so less euro demand. shall we dance?

lol, I actually don't use stops, but closes. A close under x level means I am wrong, close it out. Be done with it. Volatility can be maddening at times.

Ya it's the endgame they matters... Depending on the TF u r working with

That's why I don't like daytrading right now... Ups and downs are too frustrating... I can sit in longer term positions and build em
While not getting caught up in whipsaw BS and ultimately add 50-100+% to my accnt in 6-9 months per trade

I like closes too... But I always use hard stops... Even if they are stupidly far away... Many of my reasons for exiting trades are event risk based too... As are many reasons for entering

I.e. If I got a reason to be in I'm in.... If that reason changes I'm out...

In demand zone on 15m. Let's see where she goes.
BE+1, time of day and all... not really interesting in risking much here... will be a turd or a new swing trade.
