added another limit short at 5750
then will be hands off.over 70% short on GU on Oanda which does not make me happy.Market makers love fking up retail traders.
65% ADR which hints more room on upside. 5750 most likely will get hit in today's NY session.

{quote} Sir NAV - This is confusing to me.. If your BE is above 1.60 - then why aiming lower? All I can think of, is that you have multiples long as well as multiple shorts? Regards
i have majority short..i need 1.53 at least on my short to get out of trouble but i have a long at 1.58 which i held for god only knows how long

i rather it falls because my longer term direction is up..but i tried to be cute selling as well

hence the headache Mr T

Couldnt agree more Davit.

I have been watching 1.5750 for weeks and weeks, much like everyone else I assume...

This is the problem, I would think the market makers know this is such an obvious short entry that they may do one of 2 things. a) price drops from here, therefore not triggering all the sell orders sitting sround 1.5750... or b) they could push price up 50/100 pips triggering entries AND stops, then when all retailers assume price heading for 1.6 and go long, market plummets 500 or so pips killing all the newly opened long positions...

The joys of trading

Hi friend
I developed trading system that overcomes this by averaging my orders.Very high top I place .50 and rest .25 lot.Its not pyramiding which is suicidal but averaging your intended amount in multiples entries.
This is standard way Banks and Hedge funds operate. They never place all their orders at once.
I trade without SL.My SL is the amount I am willing to lose and once reached I'll take the loss.This protects me from spikes which often traders fall victim.

Stopped out on Cable. No need to cry, loss was well within the predetermined parameters that I set myself in my trading plan. Will Have another attempt when price action tells me to. Cable loss was more than offset by JPY shorts and US Equity calls. Hope everybody has had a great day. Next 24 hours are big so good luck.

Sir NAV -

Ah - OK. Now a lot clearer. Yip - a tough one to manage - but you have been around the block a few times....

Take care

RSI is getting closer to 80 on h4 and daily
80 and 20 is good signal for price reversal areas.

lol ... good seems like usdx wants to go further down..daily close ( USDX) under 81.87 will take dollar to 81.48 and it should mean to gbpusd - 1.5800 area.
eurusd 1.3325 or something around that.

Hi Egshack (funny name)
What I have been reading on Ichimoku indicator that its most effective on Asian currencies and less so outside that.Kind self fulfilling since more Asians are using it.I thought to share this info.

Thanks Navin for the vouch.
Please don't give me a vouch.I feel overburdened by them.I am still learning to trade.I guess its a ongoing job training that never ends.
Regards


Guys for fun place this S/R indicator on your charts and observe how accurately it draws the levels.I have found nothing as good as this.I can draw them manually as well but having indi "think" along same levels is nice.
