Ok...I have my opinion,US economy is in deep problem but EU is in the same problem,we like it or not(i am from country where US isnt lovely)USA is still biggest world force and dolar is number one still,this price isnt normal and natural and this uptrend for euro is very strange, i think someone is playing with this.euro have to be stronger then usd but not this much,someone will earn lot of money on this,i think we could expect deep down next week even all talk about uptrend.

Hello buddies,

like every week a summary...

Made a mistake today, my fault was to trade @ work => total loss of 107pips (3 pos. with SS) and 0,7% but overall weekly was near
the goal of 4% (over 3 Years ). No more trades without focus on charts - the upmove today (i don´t expect it that strong) catched me,
i was looking for some retrace... but it doesn´t happen, so i finally realize my shorts.

I hope all of you have a green weekly and daily balance, see you on the weekend, i´m looking forward to see you ideas
and thoughts. I´ll find some time @ the WE to read the last pages

Kind regards
T(h)odie



Edit: ok i read the latest posts, seems that i was not alone
shared pain is half pain! i´m sure we stand on the bright side of trade next week

not that sure ,both economies are in recession , USD is overvalued since QE money is diluting it s buying power (see commodities price inflation to be convinced) EU is demonstrating the will of solving it s political unsustainability (even if for me it s doomed to fail ) but NO QE in europe (LTRO is not QE and OMT is not QE ) each step in the direction of federalism (debt federalism as a first step) will make the euro stronger each QE will weaken the USD

1.2970 has been achieved and the price actually parked there for the weekend.
Before I could try and establish another count I'd rather keep an eye on 1.3000, an important level and on top of that a round number, which makes it an almost perfect candidate for a magnet.

My apologies for not providing a relevant chart, I'm experiencing some trouble in receiving data for my P&F charts. The moment this issue is sorted out I'll update this post.


Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Why I had traded SHORT When I had Heavy BULL Outlook;
the only reason is
- I traded Poss Pullback @ 4H chart while 4H did not print LOwer Fractal for Last 16 Bars ( posted about it > 1 time )

Disasters ( Big Losses ) are combination of too many reasons at least for me
here are the reasons

- enetering short trade 10 pip earlier means 1 level early @ 2919 instead of 2929
- after 4H closed over 2929 I should exit BE ( posted about that ) but did not exit while I had that chance
- id not exit while 5M & 15M building CZ for UP when trades were only -%2 ( posted about that )
- having "ERR_TRADE_CONTEXT_BUSY146Trade context is busy." error while EA trying to Close All @ %12DD
- US half trading day
- Ignoring the signs of strong move while posting it is strong & not exit
- overtrust
- overgreed

have look @ 1M chart

with every level 1M has no wicks while first time testing the levels.
only @ 2991 which it is unnamed level
this means price has been carried up after EU closed & when US has half trading day

Trade PLan will stay same
nothing has chaned

the change will be done on Safety exit side as;
EA will calculate %12DD & Set Stop Loss for each trade as soon as they opened.
common SL for all trade/s

this will eliminate the connection issues errors from safe exit as SL placed on broker side.

Since I started TRADE, I never touch EA (or used ROBOT) and Demo Trade (used MICRO Account the First Trade)
The First time, I used Demo in FX Explorers and found One Candle Late Printed @ Last Week
B'cause A lot my friends (experienced Traders) told me & I found A lot Info in I-net for these... almost ALL Brokers not Honest, cheat to us sometimes
I more trust with Manually Trade with WYSWYG (What's you see what's you got) Strategy. Make busy but more Safety...
Always looking the GREAT, never left GOOD Point...
