no! not this time - this is going to double digits!
Actually it should have been AM I BRAVE ENOUGH TO BUY THE BOUNCE? Apparently not... .. will wait for a much better price.

Edit: Decided to purchase USDCHF instead for 0.3 mini lots.
Buy! Buy! Sell! Sell! Just make sure you have proper MM!

I rarely trade A/U but it's interesting A/U drops more than the E/U pair, nearly 90 pips. E/U only moved around 70 pips or so. Are you guys stil holding your shorts or out already? Tonight should be interesting with the EZ summit underway.

a nice bounce up to about 1.0150 would be great -> then back down to .97 :-)

i'm 40 pips in the green, so i've now put my SL to BE. Hoping for further downward pressure close to 1.01 or parity. Despite the sentiment, all my indicators I trade with all point south.

makes ya wonder - must be some insider stuff going on cause that was a fast 20-30 pip drop from 1.02 then it kinda hovered again around 1.017 before the news came out and dropped it like a rock... i shouldn't be surprised though

60 Pips on a 5 std

Mery Christmas..

don't do what I did, and hold it over the weekend. I lost 3std and 160 odd pips at the start of the week by holding on to it over the WE~ D'OH!

don't worry, I do this every now and then too to cover a previous losses too.

Now, wait, evaluate, setup and re-enter.

I'm thinking a minor resistance now forming around 1.012....

Relax, mate. Why didn't you close half of the trade and let the other half run? Anyways, you should be happy, you made some dough after all.

Indeed.

I had multiple shorts from 1.0336 downwards, I closed them for 50 pips on the first trade.

Much regret.

Still, a learning process. I'd rather pick the right entry and make some money then not pick the right entry at all!

Too soon, give me a decent retracement first won't you so I can join in the fun too. On a serious note, I do believe we are entering a support zone from 1.006 to 1.007 and this zone needs to be cleared first though.

Like I said before, target small. Money Management is king.

You'd be a lot more relaxed if you have proper money management.

Yeah i had a bad week as well......minor set back but I feel I gave up too much profit.........the law of averages applies again.
