+85 pips E/U from yesterday open short at top.
Me too +85 , took it at 2350 (only 2/3 of short actually)

You always seem to have 100s of pips in one day, you're good Swissy...very good indeed.

When I first started trading money during early 2006 I was often holding positions for as much as 30 days. During 2007 trading a $100,000 US account with PFG Best in Chicago (Now KAPUT) in a 30 day period I had rollover costs of $17,000 US so you can see I was buying and holding. I was trading EUR/USD long at the time.

During 2008 just after EUR/USD hit the HIGH of just over 1.6000 (September 2008) and we had it meltdown to 1.2500 by November 2008, I changed my trading style to rarely keeping positions for more than 3 days.

The bottom line...
Agree, agree ...
Just one more thing to add: PATIENCE
When I am playing short term, I know within two or three hours whether I was right or wrong. That suits me... that's my style.
I can be bull in the morning, and bear in the evening, hehehehe.
I started trading with FX options, but it was a torture to me waiting for my SELL option strategy to "grow" dorp by drop, cent by cent for weeks...
Even I have developed many strategies myself, I even created unique software to analyse and I made some profits, it was so damn painful doing nothing but WAITING

I think you are absolutely correct from a day trader's perspective. A day trader should trade both ways if he/she wants to leverage as many opportunities as possible. However, that doesn't stop one from also taking advantage of positional opportunities (with the appropriate leverage) over and above one's day trading activities.

What do YOU think?

You know in a way I do day trade, but I don't consider it so. I'll explain and you be the judge.

When I jump in to a position trade, it is always (or at least almost always) pre-planned with my targets for profit set. However, I rarely keep the entire position all the way to target. At some point when price hits the next major support/resistance area and I expect a corrective pullback, I take partial profits (Usually 50% or more) and let the rest ride as a positional trade. So I suppose that partial profit can be considered my day trade

Unless this is a longer term trade just be aware that you're going long against the Japanese Yen which is strongest currency so far today -vs- the Euro, which is weakest. GL though.

I only post what I feel is relevant and confirmed. No rumours unless it's a juicy one. I have great memory and fast fingers.

True, that wasn't a rumor was it... I wasn't listening too well as usual

Those are not my theories, I have found it somwhere, but I find the pyramid valid. Well, I am somwhere between semiproductivity and finding fails . Most of the time, I am relaxing here, as if I want to be productive, I need to sit and read and read and read ..... or program and program and program. Both of these is very time consuming.

I take what the market gives. I set 50 pips hard TP or 100 pips base on trend strength. If PA stalls and is OB/OS, banging against key S&R or where heavy market orders sits, I will manually TP before the market takes it back. I very rarely scalp for under 50 pips. In other words, don't enter a position unless you're confident. Don't enter just to be in the market.

23464 rejected on first attempt. PA would need fast momentum to breach the zone. It is very thick. Now we are climbing up and I hope to reload at last weeks close.
