{quote} You are very smart man! You hit the bulls eye. That's why fx is a full time job. Many times I set a pending order at a s/r and go to bed only to find out in the morning that a spike ate my entry before traveling 200 pips.
Same will happen to my current short. S/R is 1.3683 and sl is at 1.3690 but it will first eat my entry and then will go to 1.3598.

{quote} There was a useless poster here on this thread few years ago. He got a very controversial vouch from me, giving that vouch costed me few vouches. He got this vouch for highlighting the most important element in trading, that is, dealng with spikes. If you find a solution to this issue, 50% of your problem is solved. Think about it.
Damn .. i just replied to your earlier post, didnt see this one... nice one

Thanks for remembering me. No, since 2009 I spend more time on the ground and less in the sky. Daily Time Frame is the best if you don't want to look at the screen all the time. This timeframe seldom deceives. Its 'maybe this one time" that costed me a lot, and this one time happened only once or twice in many years. Daily is again saying "Go long up to at least 1.3875" but I am again not listening to it.

{quote} ................ the way pa moving these days we can only have spike in dreams , next year euro may be limited to avg. 40 PIP daily range
Mohan Jee, you reminded me of my demo trading days many years ago when 80 pips daily range was the max. I thought I had discovered the holigrail and all of a sudden one fine day it moved 180 pips in a matter of few minutes. It was way before 2007 housing bubble. I don't know what was that because I never read news those days and had no idea if FF forums existed.

Call your broker ASAP, it is currently trading between 1.5000 and 1.5500. Where were your stops? They have discovered uranium and oil in Germany

Yeah, night before Non-Farm is always a boring bitch. I usually like to do my homework and set my plan for once the news goes off at this time since I know we won't be able to do any scalp trades until then. Only thing you can do is position long term trades and go to bed....

Gidday

I remember a few years back

I opened a CMC Markets account

started with $500US

There platform has to be the biggest pile shit ever invented

geared to totally clean you out.

Dumb ass me tried out the US/JPY

no kidding it spiked over 5 cents in one move.

Yes blew the lot in my first trade

Since then I trade small trades

just takes longer to be right.

I have played around a bit with levels, looks interesting how price did react to them one way or the other. {image}
just little friendly advice, keep your researching levels, try find out why pa reacted at certain levels etc etc, I note it is a 4hr chart, fairly compressed. so is a huge time span.

My advice is to I prefer start with monthly or then weekly then daily etc etc just keep working down the time frames "just" focus on nearest or next S/R for each time frame,

once you have these levels, 2 per time frame, then decide which time frame you are going to actually trade, this will of course be determined by the closest S/R, say its monthly or weekly you will be looking for a long to medium term trade Daily 12 or 4hr would be short to medium trade under 4hr looking short term or even scalping

Once you sorted say your levels point to trading 4hr time frame add the next S&R on the 4hr chart, plus 1hr and 30 minute
So now chart has 6 closest S/R levels put these levels on 15minute chart and prepare to defend / enter the 1st one, using whatever you normally use ma,s candles, patterns fibs whatever

The cool or most helpful thing will be when S/R levels for different time frames are the same or very similar, when this happen is time to be wired or super focused.

A 4hr chart with 13 levels is actually not very helpful in fact is clutter

sorry if cant understand my explanation I am shit explaining shit but just trying to help focus on whats important, my weekly rave is over

Bro you are not alone

If you considering any broker, "google" ^%&^%$&$ scam, will quickly see how big a bastard they are, remember all brokers are bastards, just have to find the least bastard of them all "before" you trust them with your hard earned money
