you down over 14k with drawdown less than 100 pips? i assume your account has to be in millions then.

try lowering your position sizing mate.. since you are trading in a volatile pair, why not just use 1-2%?

the good thing when you are using lower position size, it's easier to cut loss.. at least that's what i feel like.

no to be mean but i don't need any advice, this account was started with $500 usd last year, and this is not my main account, with this account i take more risk to get to that mill a little quicker

atm, i'm not sure it will get that far mate.. but who knows what tomorrow will bring us, right?

but, hope is a dangerous thing in this game mate.. currently, based on technical, i'm really not sure it'll go 5600 area, at best (based on current PA) 5575 but there's a number of resistance that it has to go though first..

the way i see it, first resistance is ~5480, if that breaks than maybe ~5575, than maybe ~5715..

that's my 2 pips.

Alright I've reached a conclusion...the triangle breakdown looks very heavy and steady and bearish momentum strong.

I am selling here @ 1.5450
Cable remains under selling pressure; every rally attempt is met with renewed selling capping her safely below my entry @ 1.5450

She's quietly sitting around 1.5410 as of this writing putting the position in positive territory for 40 pips

I will continue to hold onto the short position for the time being.

just begining my friend, watch and learn
Man, I just woke up and seems I've missed all the discussion fun. You're a classic dude, all the best with the mill challenge. Seems like A lot of fun. Still gaining more confidence in system, but learning i just need patience to wait for the right set up. When i get it i let my own analysis get in the way and sometimes when its not quite right i take it anyway, and pay for it. Patience and trust, patience and trust. I'm over and out. Back to business.

Simple look at the daily chart for the British Pound -

Look at this simple chart.....we are in the same spot that we were at the beginning of this year.....hmmmmmmm. We are sitting on strong support, stochastics are oversold Macd has been flat lining since the end of November.......we are moving sideways in a price channel since the end of September..... other then what looks like a head and shoulders pattern on this daily chart I see no reason why not to go long the Pound. Come on.....is the Euro Zone really going to let things go to CRAP? I think not.....markets are up, corporations are profitable......we just had a big sell off.....for what reason I really cannot put my finger on - Now I am not saying go into this blind but - unless the world is really coming to an end every currency has to have a certain value and at this point I see the Pound as a good buy.


Currently I am long from 1.5401


Comments welcome....

Cheers,

Faller
