My worst day trading ever, not because of the losses but the blow to confidence

Once again I've blown a good run with stupidity, really struggle with emotion control

Unless those longs are structured in a pyramid formation (smallest at the top of the LT range 1.40 -1.20) with calculated spacing between positions to avoid Price Saturation zones it is destined to fail because the LT trend is down.

Trading without SL takes a different mindset and most of all PATIENCE.

Forex trading is no place for emotions. It's a cynical world, where only rules of your strategy matter.

I definitely do, I'm getting better at trade control but I'm obviously a slow learner

Revenge trading is a big problem, had a bad start to the day and then completely lost it. Account down 30%

Hey Godrich this headline may support my bearish outlook.

Euro Official On Cyprus: "Markets Believe We Will Find A Solution, This Might Not Be The Case"

A lot of TA traders discount fundementals. I as usual have a different take.

"You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of reality" - Ayn Rand

I also believe FA creates the LT charts with TA filling them in.

Do I trade strictly on FA. HELL NO.

I use a healthy mix of FA (big picture) TA (current picture) and MM (which is the greatest of these)

A healthy child should have a family and not a sole source of influence...

You really shouldn't take any further trades today, what is done is done. Turn the server off and get out of the house... Seriously...

I posted a few minutes ago about the 1.2900 strike being touted. Often times these strikes are a magnet.

Reminds of the song from my younger days..."You are a magnet and I am steel"
