I had 3 good open positions this morning, sell eurusd, sell gbpusd and buy usdchef. stoploss 35, takeprofit 30. i hit the 30*3 = 90 pip target but decided to leave the trades open now im -10 pips on eurusd and -20 pips on usdchef. i closed the gbpusd with 60 pips profit but at what cost

You don't think there is any more movement within the day?

Waiting to see if it is going to bounce again off support or not.

Yeah I agree, as a matter of fact the only trade that I would've taken all day would have been around 1115, which was the hourly low from yesterday around 3218, I actually entered a buy order because it was at the hourly low at 3225 I have already exited my trade at 3272. That's about all the action I think we will get the rest of the day. I would post a chart on here, but being a I don't know how . I will be around here for a long time I really enjoy reading everybody's comments, I do think there is a lot of different people and different opinions on this website.
A very wise for forex trader told me one day he said if you only pay attention to one chart make sure it's the hourly chart. That's the chart to professional institutions and master traders across the world use. So, good luck to all will see you around.

They will get this bastard to 1.36 to 1.38. Then we get the song and dance that euro is too expensive and we move down to 1.18.

Here is the hourly chart I was referring to, as you can see once it made the bottom at yesterday's previous support would have been a great buying opportunity, at least it was for me. Good luck everybody have a good day

Swing high since 01/03/2011 stands at 1.42461.

It is likely heading up to where you suggest, maybe higher.

3231 got really damaged but also a undeniable DSI divergence was formed. Better wait for confirmation before going short.
The divergence held and we are back to the top of the range. Typical bear trap.

The Swissy looks more aggressive to the down side so we may see a pop to the upside on E/U by London.

A giant screen on the wall and a treadmile

Run, run after pips and run to loose your fat.

That's my solution ! 1 hour a day and it works the best.

smaller position size, daily, weekly or monthly charts, and wider stops if any at all.

check once daily.

not as exciting but does the trick of freeing you from the monitor.

morgan stanley short from 13250 with sl at 13350 and tp at 12350. will see if they are correct. if so there are lots of pips on downside as it is easier to make money on shorts then longs (most of the time)

will look to do exactly the opposite or close but my tp would be between 150-200 pips
