bounced just over 2923
.. and on it's way back towards the 2921.

sry for you but (depending on your SL) I'm confident that you'll get it later on

Would be a nice on with the both of us earning some pips - though we'd have to pay xandis drinks then

in the case of breaking 2923 down
2904/15 in sight.
it this a momentum move?
not seems like.
but loss sometimes comes with small & weak moves.

in general I dont use SL to exit.

means I set SL away from my dealine just incase of fast move & do exit manually.
every trade should be managed.
will see soon how it reacts.

the reason why I do NOT set to deadline is beacouse of price distortions can take SL with 1/10 pip then can move your favor.
and yes this needs %100 screen time.
nothing is easy in our lives so does FX.

I also does not wait for TP for 1-2 pips. exit manually.

I flatted @ 2924.

MKT beeing too confused atm. Not suited for my trading style
Made me 13 pips though, so after all not the worst start into the trading week

Will now stay flat until mkt either reaches 294x or 288x

Better not invested than invested but not convinced

at this point I would like to thank the very all of you guys, especially steve for making this thread up.
I noticed that s I'm posting and reading here, I get in touch with my analysis much deeper while trying to put it in understandable, reasonable sounding words.

Thus my analysis as well as my behaviour within the trades has vastly improved. Even within a short period of a week that I'm now attending this thread.

Sometimes it's funny how such apparently small things can have an impact on your trading...

And now enough sidesteps...

I exit manually as well often. Like I did just now.
As for the SL I mainly use it to protect me from losing earned money while nearing critical price-levels. Elsewise it's for beeing BE mainly.

Was near a critical level once as PC all of a sudden bluescreened. Three minutes were enough time to turn the whole trade into a loser...
Teached me a lesson about how I feel comfortable with handling such eventualities.

yes

SL must be set.
due it set on broker side. ( even if your PC/Net/Platform down it stop loss on beroker side )
also TP.
I %50 not doing it properly. in reality it is pure danger.
