don't use big money for learning $25 is enough to learn open account broker have macro /nano lot can start learning
The Ktrader tool (forex chile) only lets me buy 0,1 lots as minimun, that is to say, 10,000 U$D for example, meaning they would take 100$ as margin, so I really cant do anything with a 25$ account on this system =(

That is quite the turn off.

Well, I trade what I see. I cannot believe anyone's prediction, not with a 1000 "valid" arguments.

Prediction implies the probability of being wrong, even for the originator. To just follow someone else's prediction is utter foolishness.

So why post it? As a log for yourself?
Sentiment is an important tool.

When you FIRST note everyone getting on board jump on and go for the ride.

the opposite holds true for when to jump ship.

Isn't this business about playing with the unknown? In fact it applies to all businesses, there will always be unknowns but you take calculated guesses with calculated risks.

You claim to trade what you see but you are making the assumption that what you see now will continue into the future. It is also an assumption and a prediction.
Yup, nice one, but "it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it".

If I take a trade, just any trade, at any given time, and give it a 40 pips TS, how about the probability that I at least break even within the next hour?

If I insist on "predicting the market direction", go full in and stick to that all day, no matter what, how big is the chance that I blow my account this same day?

All kinds of handling in between, but imo this is of more importance than "the holy direction".

Maybe time for a relativistic: "All depends on your mindset and preferred trading style, of course."

change your broker , oanda may be good for learning you can trade small as one currency unit (0.00001 lot) ,
(i don't use them )

edit : it's hard to control emotion and revenge mentality when you loose big money , it's easy with tiny loss.

May apply to different people but I skipped the demo portion and jumped straight into live.

Lost half within a week but my learning curve was cut short. I was forced to adapt and learn ASAP or risk blowing my account.

Some times you just got to force yourself into a corner where it is a do or die scenario. The mindset that you can always try again is not one I advocate.

And now you are deviating away from the "point" that you were trying to make about predicting market movements to strategy.

Problem with this pair now is the endless BS from both sides of the pond, EURUSD is now just manipulated crap. Maybe I'll jump back on board if we get a decent trend, just a little pi**ed off with the stop hunt that's basically been going on since NFP

its best to learn with real money live account.

only risk small sums until confidence grows.

demo can simulate the price action experience, NOT the emotional experience when your losing real money.

It was just pure speculation on QE. All risk assets rallied not just EUR/USD.

this is what i garthered from todays price movement, ben speech only took away abt 80 pips off the EUR, I dont see any further pull downwards lurking.

EUR will rebounce back by NY close, and then into the mid 26.. at least, my buy is already in position,pending orders for sell if 2530 breaks.

I´ve just arrived at that point, blown half within a week as well. This might be a learning chance after all.


As todstars2 stated, the feeling of really betting your money and losing it is what gets you to understand the 2 other types of analysis, specially the sentiment one.

So far I´ve learned that I need to learn more =P

But I get carried away too easily. Plus my available trading times are the worst, need to make myself a strategy. And test it. Midnight trading maybe =P

I was trying to scalp, but I seem to suck at it =P the 3:1 ratio doesn´t work when you get 9 loses in a row, does it? =P

I am waiting for the pair to reach 1.2540 level. I hope to see a bounce there and if after a bounce the pair continues go lower I place a short below the level with a stop 1.2625.
It would be a breakout trade.
Looks like the pair has retraced. If it does not go beyond 1.2625 and falls through the floor it is a definite short. If it breaks the ceiling I removed my sell stop order from 1.2540 level.

Fitch downgrades Spain but sure it looks like a dip.

If not, lots of buyers get ******. They had clean plan to make a new high for today later.
They think they are smarter than I am.
