Was reading about that the other day, not as credible as forexlive. Thought there was something on alphaville too, but can't find it now.

Anyway time for a beer in the sun.
Neither can I ...

In any case, nothing to do here, London held 1.228x so same trade, same levels, same everything, so sitting tight and we'll see what happen after the weekend....

what is 100% clear is no doubt about the beer in the sun today...

cheers and enjoy the weekend...

Position is net green because the top one is larger. Waiting to see whatever crumbs fall here. Won't be holding over the weekend, though.

Anybody inclined to keep trades open over the weekend might want to check the U.S.eLess weather first.

Or not.

Just sayin...

can u eat the walnuts?
YES!!!

And they're delicious! Very strong...not like regular walnuts. Pretty prized commodity...very expensive per pound. Kind of like nutmeg, truffles, saffron, etc. I make a mean cream-based sauce with black walnuts, mushrooms and a hint of nutmeg!

I closed partials at "the right time"... we trade a bit differently. I've been working on smoothing the equity curve out a bit more lately.

Every entry I take, I split into 3 orders. All of the same SL, but each get separate TPs: one conservative, one logical, and one optimistic.

It's been working well all week as recouped all of last week's red pips and got green for the month as a whole.
Didn't ever reply to that post a couple Friday's ago, but...long story short...that is PRECISELY why I take partials. I like a nice smooth equity curve...bottom left to top right. Don't like my curve looking like a GJ chart!

Sure...I could always make a little more if I let full entries run...but I can also lose a lot more, too. I can often tell when I have a "peach," so will often let more of them run...or go in larger initially. I just find it much easier to deal with psychologically. For myself, I feel 50% or more of success comes from beating my own head. Steady banking helps me with that.
