Had a pending long at 76 with tight SL, that spike triggered the position then stopped me out, bloody HFT basta*ds!

I don't like crying manipulation but...today has been frustrating. Lost my discipline & tossed away profit from the earlier rise

Where you enter small amounts every 5pips or 10 pips as a hedge; Ie is there a system on spreadsheet to show traders - which works best same amount x 10 trades every 10 pips, or different values over 10 amounts (that reduce risk) of entering single hedge amounts. VB

it was a stop hunt before the retrace/pullback (that was probably the high for the day), it wasnt for you
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.

not advisable to place buy stop with tight s/l , s/l 90% guaranteed, it have to do small pull back after testing

Yeh, my pending long was a daft idea, it's been retracing all day. Must keep discipline tomorrow!

Well I love a signature of someone here that goes something like :

"The markets can stay irrational more than your account can stay solvent"

The market is never irrational,some traders are but not the market.
The market is just that....a market.
You can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Well, this buyer is trying make a nice ****-up-retail-traders-and-others-as -well.

Looks like it found a top but this not a move, just confusing traders to go long and short while the same buyer goes opposite at the intraday top.

Watch out

EDIT: 58 is interesting, should be a buy there.
They think they are smarter than I am.

In My humble opinion , in which i acknowledge my limited experience and the fact that some traders and poster in this topic are far way advanced - but 1.26500 needs at least 1.24000. I'm currently flat , just in case someone wondered.
Hi Vachus.....I hate to say it, but by the time you sit around and wait for 1.24, you will miss the run up to 1.2650.


Just my opinion.

My signature quote is attributed to economist John Maynard Keynes. Just think of the influence he has had as politicos and central bankers around the world devalue and deficit spend.

I can't disagree with you Mohan....but at the same time, right now, its looking like we are about to see a major move in the Euro.


150 pips or more, IMO. I just cannot tell if this is going to be a wicked rise, or a steady climb.


Edit ** This can happen over the course of a week - everything I look at is long term, so there may be short opportunities while this is setting up **
