If the weekend wasn’t at our heels I would keep this open a couple of more days. 1.5 hours remaining to see what I do here… To close or not to close this short that is the question! Getting close to where I might bail out.

I bought some @ 1.2640/50 Area
Because It went down from 1.2860/70 Area Last Night

That's like 220 PIPS .... That's not the usual range

+ 70% on NAV this week (+ 174 PIPS today) + 1220 PIPS for this week

Were you over leverage? That was a slide down (not even a ride) to lose 80% of what you made, depending on where you got in.

It always makes me wonder what goes through you peoples heads when I read stuff like this. Let me get this right, you were basing your trading strategy to short the eur on waiting for the official announcement of a downgrade of certain countries credit ratings? You didn't just look at the trend and think maybe "down"? You thought that by waiting for the official announcement that you would be the first to know what was going on? Oh mate, you have a LONG way to go!

A psychological take profit is as non-productive as a a psychological stop loss. IMHO, it is better to learn and understand time/price movements and than to trade those movements rather than deciding it has to go 150 pips.

As far as the euro goes....there were a great deal of pips on the table. Count the pips on the swings of the hourly chart. If your system or strategy did not produce positive pips with such swings, you may want to consider alternative strategies or systems.
You are so right xT I trade the 15M TF and always go for 30pips and OUT. Trade by trade. Always with the trend. Many pips to @ - wish you a relaxed WE

You don't but the Big Boys get special treament and their actions give signs to rest of the market, in 2008 Hank Paulson warned his Hedge fund buddies 2 months in advance of the Govt rescue of Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae.

No which is why I don't base my trade decisions on an unknowable factor.

Look at your chart.. what was the higher probability?

downtrend continuation or few pips more on the consolidation?.. sure there was some more room to the upside.. but.. see.. 1288 (+/-) was the 8h pivot.. thats often a good sell/buy point..


take a choose.. technical or fundamental trader..
