Morning all. I'm Trying a long on Aussie as she's near the previous bottom, and that area I put up yesterday on the weekly and also the 50 fib of the last daily move up. May be a little early to the party, but we've had a big sell off.4hr and 15min charts below

Night turtle / morning 131 and others. I'm keeping an eye on EU for possible shorts around here. Probably wrong but I missed the buy that turtle is on! Nice trading guys

Morning guys, I'm going to try and not interfere too much with this Aussie trade (tempted though I am!), as it could be a good longer term trade. I've yet to get a runner or more than 100 or so pips off one trade but this might be the one! In any case, my risk is very low, SL of 30 pips (below daily lows). Walking my boys to school now, so I can't meddle with it!

Well managed Lazyboy. I'm back and still in the Aussie- she's got a lot of crap to get through on the left hand of the 15min chart to break 1.04 so tempted to take more profit here. But the 15min ma's have all crossed up and longer term could still be good so I'll leave it running

Moving SL to BE (58) as a few bears coming again in here and hourly chart not looking good. I can always re-enter again on decent PA if stopped

Good stuff mate, I was stopped nearly to the pip before it dropped again but glad I reduced risk.

Yes, not worth the risk of turning a winning trade into a loser.

There is no room for hope in forex. It can be very frustrating, so we have to trade in absolutes and create boundaries to try and remove those emotions. Stopped out on Aussie as I type, but looking to re-enter with PA

Yes, frustrating I know. There was another chance for entry though. Here after this hangman double top on 15min. I "saw" it, it was low risk, but stupidly didn't take it because I "expected" it to bounce off the lower trendline because I was bullish on my Aussie trade and it fell through the floor!. "Trade what you see not what you expect" Sometimes if you see a setup you just have to take it and not think too much about it.

Unbelievable weather here in Cardiff too

Trying another lower entry in the wick of the 15 min pin that's just printed on Aussie at 39 as she closed just above the lows. A bit risky, so SL at 12 pips
