What you mean by... "I fooked up with my normal size" ?
Did you scale out, I mean adding to loosing position.
Be careful with this!
Anyway, good you're back on green side.
I unfortunately did... I don't suggest that to anyone. I am good with leverage. My first entry was 125.30 which is a level we haven't seen again. Average cost dropped to 125.51 and will close any minute after the hourly close before NFP. I didn't see the reaction I was hoping for so clearly a terrible trade.

Some wonder why I post my failures and PM me, the reason is such that I am a real trader which has good trades as well as bad ones. I think it is one of the objectives of this thread to share screw-ups to give an idea to other traders whether they could have done better. Also, I don't benefit from posting my "succes stories" like some members so why would I be discredited from my bad trades...? I think sharing all sorts of experience is essential to keep this thread more real.

A psychological take profit is as non-productive as a a psychological stop loss. IMHO, it is better to learn and understand time/price movements and than to trade those movements rather than deciding it has to go 150 pips.

As far as the euro goes....there were a great deal of pips on the table. Count the pips on the swings of the hourly chart. If your system or strategy did not produce positive pips with such swings, you may want to consider alternative strategies or systems.
For today i think the market gonna move down and it can hit upto 3050 i am hoping that.

open but will be looking out for 1.303x 1.297x 1.288x

obviously this is straddling NFP so adverse results or PA will kill it
