Watching the price action when we were down at 1.3300 earlier in the day makes me think there are some big buyers down there. While I currently hold a short bias, I am not convinced 1.3300 will be easy.

Ok, go ahead. I haven' finished trying all the forums yet.

The bounce is letting me get out of my longs at profit. Profit is strangely easy. All you have to do is wait for it. The shorts I am building will cancel out the remaining longs given time. I don't think the bounce will fully retrace today's dump.

that is ok, i know the mathematics. he took a big short before the drop then a small long near the bottom. his small long is effectively to close part of his big short for taking partial profit. when he closes his small long is effectively to reload back to his big short.

his 100% winning is nonsense.

i hear ya. if i was a multinational company with contracts in the ez and the u.s. it would make sense. then again i dont have widget contracts in both. so the reason for a need, dont exist. except the waste of tied up capitol. a small lose early, allows bigger gains later. or i could fool myself with the magic bs of no losses,,,, then again i just put on some new tires. or hitchhike on 4 flat tires.

I've been a lurker for a long time. Posted occasional nonsense here and there.
What I'm more interested in than everyone's "predictions" and "reasons why those predictions are absolute crap," is the mindset that lead to that prediction in the first place. I mean, THREE out of 70 expert economists polled predicted correctly that the ECB would cut rates. I've learned to stop listening to "experts" long ago. But I love to hear WHY the market moved the way it did (explanations which are always conveniently available AFTER the market moves)

But I do care about how you guys prepare for the market and what you do to protect yourselves (other than the basic RR ratio and position sizing).


My question for today that goes along with what Gator and Tom is discussing.

To add or not to add to positions? When you decide to add to a same currency pair.
How many trades do you usually have open? Why?
When you add positions for the same (or related) pair, are you doing so b/c you don't want to take the loss yet on the previous trade?
How does FIFO affect you in this case? Have you run into alot of problems with this or is it typically just a matter of keeping track?
What are other reasons for adding to a trade? What rules do you follow when considering adding positions?


I'd love to hear thoughts from everyone, beginners and vets.

For today, probably, as it has now broken out of where the high-speed numbers traders finished selling and the slower participants started selling (this 1.3405 level). But the order book is still basically blank all the way up to 1.35 and you now have some losing shorts in the 1.3330-1.3370 range. October NFP more likely than not to print poorly just like ADP did given the shutdown so going short seems pretty dangerous to me. I'm gonna stay flat... not interested in the NFP coin flip game, but it could very well be a knee-jerk higher

It's only nonsense if you don't know how to read. Nobody can force you to close non-profitable trades but yourself. If you don't force yourself, you too will have 100% winners.

Before UK close is giving beautiful volatilities today. Now I am getting 100% winning closed JPY trades left and right.

I see that but instead of the typical wax/wane balance, isn't the downmove the intended result of the ECB?
In that case, is it safe to assume that the retrace back into the 140 pip drop immediately following the rate cute should be minimal?
It does feel like there's alot of space for a strong move upwards though...

i am doing opposite brother i hope you are right, because i love to be wrong, when iam wrong i learn some thing and it is a good business to learn few things with few $ loss especially in forex where we make 10's of $$ every day.
anyways made a lot of pips today again 500 pips trade EUR/USD EUR/JPY GOLD all long no selling waited for the dip and bought.
i trade only 1 direction i choose my direction according to fundamentals i know rate cut waoo every one thinks EURUSD will hit 1.20 but the fact is after the rate cut Export will boost cheap EUR will be good for Business and this si what EURo sone ants but average price should be 1.30-1.35 for now if goes below that will be undervalue and euro cannot be undervalued for long time and i plan my trades for long times for months trading one them and making very good profit more the n350% of my account is not bad actually.
Good Luck Guys
here is my new trades and dont forget i am still holding eurusd and eurjpy buy closed gbpjpy and audjpy and nzdjpy buy but holding eurjpy and eurusd
and added few more trades and and closed them and made 500 pips of 29 trades today. not bad 20-30 pips per trade not bad. and got my target of 200 pips per day even more double as usual doing fine.
Good Luck to you Guys and remember i saw post some one said about AUD that it is not moving with techncials remember that FUNDAMENTALS drive the market in long term not TECHNICALS.
Stay Tuned.

Dunno, its just mathematics. I aint saying it is a good trading plan, but imho can work. I can imagine it like this: You got consolidation range @ some support and expect it will go up 75% and down 25%, so you open 3 longs and one short with SL on breakzone. If you are right, you are rich, if not, short entry covers SL of those wrong longs. I really dont want to defend strategy I dont use and dont understand to, but as I ve said, many ways to skin a cat, and mathematics can be powerfull tool. Though needed to say here, that for range break, options would be more suitable tool.
