kinky...that chart looks like music score with those green lines
just missing a G Clef...
just wondering what made him so bullish... or was it rescue after a wrong entry... either way... wrong mindset... or say wrong execution...

if so... that you wanted to trade a range... why in the earth you entered long just right or near a resistance area... and so aggressive....
reducing exposure will help, but sometimes killing them all and re-position troops later on is also a good strategy...
i got the bullish feeling from the long wicks.. i wanted to trade the range then when the downside was broken i told myself okay.. i will wait a while more.
i still gotta learn how to admit my mistakes.. still can't bear to kill off my troops.
tks eddy!
hey doc... thanks for your concerni miss live trading with you guys..

beautiful entry...you should have added to it
for example, if i..
s x 1 x 1.250
s x 3 x 1.249
is there a way for me to close 2 of the 3 position @ 1.249 such that
my overall position is
"s x 1 x 1.250
s x 1 x 1.249" ??
because of the FIFO rule.. they will always close my 1 x 1.250 position first..
oh i see...you did add to it...you with oanda us or europe or singapore..
i am with europe office and there is no fifo rule.
other option is use tp order for the trade you want to close but is a bit of a hassle
you also a bit like me...not letting profits run until feel/dance tells you to close out
i am on oanda asia pacific.. don't like the FIFO rule.

need to ask guru eddy on how he does it.
i am on oanda asia pacific.. don't like the FIFO rule.
i am with oanda europe and there is no fifo rule.
When the rule came in i transferred online from us acct to europe acct...maybe you can do the same
i did it online...only took 2 mins
