I guess it is impossible to go long AUS. My account is screwed. Technically was very good setup, but I guess the banks won't allow it.
Sorry to hear about that. Where did you enter long?

hello??? I´ve been only longing this pair these last 2 months, and with high profit!!!
your problem is one:
entering on position with huge leverage!!!

ahhh...and after you saying that you change your bias to short??? forget all you learned about trading, and start from the begginning, with low leverage...there´s no other way!

this moves on audusd specialy on asia session, are becoming repetitive...once we are oversold on higher TF, this is perfectly normal to happen, these kind of mooves are the perfect trigger for big boys jump on the trade, longing it, buying the dips!!!

ps: this time I didn´t catched it, I was distracted and did my calculations wrongly..but I´ve been catching some mooves like this on this pair..

I am not over leveraged, I have just been trying to get long for two days. I can't tell you how many failed trades. A lot were bad setups, but some were not, but it hasn't seemed to matter.

you were not overleveraged??? what concept is that??? so why did you close your long? fear of being stop loss with margin call? how much leverage did you use on your open position?and how much leverage holds your account?

hope you have those concepts pretty clear and know the answer to the questions...without that, you might be gambling, not trading..don´t take me wrong, I´m telling this for your own sake!! take care

Sorry, I am more worried about why my winning percent is so low right now. Leverage is a simpler issue and is a distraction to even discuss it. I have been trying to get long the last 3 nights and I have only executed 1 of 20 trades successfully. Finally thought I had my head on straight and we could get long. I am sure many agreed and the banks or big accounts or whoever, decided to wash out the longs. No matter, will keep trying even though I have lost everything I made this month.

As Xandi said above, if you are not over leveraged , and you are Long why keep getting out..................?

Over trading will kill your account first.............

These are only Micro's on a $1200 account, But if you trade small enough, you don't over margin and 4 micro's is almost a 1/2 of a mini and I stop at 10 -12 micro's and wait for the bank to ring in and presto ! you make 50 -60 pips on 10 micro's and you now just made $60 on a $1200 account, that's about 5% in a few days to a week. No sweating it , ulcers and you don't have to sit in front of the computer. I have other Larger accounts , but I am using this one for an example for you........

Even today not being here Alien made $26 on this account.........When you get your system perfected , you can do no wrong..................

In 10 weeks you have made 50% on your account, 20 weeks is 100% and so on.........

Alien is always off building Space Station and UFO's with his time..............

The Aussie is predictable also, take a 8,3,3 stochastic and wait for it to fail. Normally she does 1,2 moves and reverses, and then 1,2 moves and reverses again. I marked all the 1,2 then fails (reversed) on the chart. each little bump on the 8,3,3 is a sing it's going the other direction.

Chatter box Alien is done talking for now.................

looking at your last post , you are only using 10 pip stop loss and that is Too tight, 50 - 60 pips or 100 pips would be better and then walk away and don't even look at your trade for a day................

Thanks for the tips. I know I am over trading, I will try to get that under control. My account is small and my trades have been small. How is it possible to only get 1 trade in 20? Statistically seems that is should be very difficult. I am trying to get my R/R to about 1:3. I am trying to use trendlines and pitchforks to frame my trades. I think I am having some bad luck and compounding it by getting frustrated and making more mistakes. Right now I can't get a handle on where the AUS is going. Seems like Pip has been on the right track, down down down.

I like to get a 10 pip stop, but it is difficult. I think That trade was about 18 pips on the stop. I am trying to get 3 to 1 risk reward. If I use 50 pips then I gotta get a 150 pip trade.

Use a 21,10,10 stochastic, if it's going up, you Long and buy the bottoms, if it's going down , you short it and sell the tops. if it's flat don't trade . use this on a M15 or larger chart. 100 pip SL or manually get out if you don't like what you see..................lose the 10 pip SL your killing yourself..............
