ya, donīt know, but I made my pips and sincerily price has to gain balance at 1.2840/30..but every TF are pointing to a big upmoove, in order to break all the MAvg medium term..
yeah so is silver...


with greece solution, fed stimulus, and technicals pointing higher (weekly hidden bullish divergence), we should be sitting around 1.30-1.31 by the new year.

i was asking you what your drawdown was at (with your long positions) when the market hit its watermark low of 1.2661?

had it moved to 1.2600, what would your draw down have been then??

when do you force yourself to close? 14%? 20%?

sorry i am having trouble understanding.

I don't mind really
My charts told me short so I went short.
Can't be always right, I know that. And with ~62% winning Trades for the last two month (which were ahrd ones) I am already quite good - good enough for me to be satisfied.

So I'll just let MKT be MKT, get some sleep & try another day with another setup

now
coded thousands EA for testing strategies.
my conclusion;
trading with precised SL @ S/R levels o FIX value does not work @ FX for sure.
trader hunted many times with < 1 pip SL kissses.


there should be levels to exit and enter
not one. more then one. averaging with precision of levels with reasonable exit strategy.

this is a very long topic
I can talk 1 week none stop too much to explain from my BT & FT experience with last 10 years data
