Oh no. That's not good. Every time she has a press conference, she causes turmoil in the markets. Buckle your seat belts. If she shows any sign of buckling at the knees over the ESM directly bailing out Spanish Banks, then we're in for a short covering on the Euro... which will probably be immediately faded... as usual.

Because I have many shorts built up since 1.4647 which I have already taken most of the profit from and allowing a fraction of the original lot size to ride.
My SL is at break even of the remaining trade volume. I do not plan of waiting until price reaches the SL to close them. I will close them when PA and sentiment tell me that we have a confirmed reversal. The SL is in place in case of a catastrophic event.

ur right,she is a wonderful mother of my two kids
I don't have a specific target. I take what the market gives me. I am a conservative position trader so if I achieve an average annual return of 100% to 150% on a sustained basis, I am happy.
My risk appetite in low. I enter when all the arrows are pointing in one direction. I prefer to be out of the market than to chase pips. I suppose you can say that I stalk my pips like a sniper. That's why I'm called PipTrapper.
My favorite time frames for trend determination and wave pattern analysis are H4 and above. Once all is lined up the way I like it, I look to the smaller time frames (H1 and below) for more precise entry
My max leverage that I will ever use at any one time is 10:1 but that is rare. I prefer to keep my leverage between 2:1 and 3:1 for floating trades. I boost to anywhere between 5:1 and 10:1 depending on market conditions for a short time and then take partial profit thereby reducing my leverage back to or below 3:1, and let the rest ride. I also take small bites at a time. Since I sell rallies on down trends and buy dips on up trends, there will be times when you pick the wrong rise or dip. So I prefer to scale in with more once I confirm that I picked the rise or dip properly.
Hope that answers your questions.
