For FF members ,some brokers following the thread are making their decision the time we disucess targets and Stoploss , be aware and I am sure some of you are suspecting such activity . For brokers, if you do that I would take this thread as a counter indicator , be aware of my intelligence . {image}
Brokers do not care about us. They get paid win or lose. If you have lost 30K over the years, they have made 30K just on the spread. If you have Won 30K over the years, they have made 30K just on the spread. They win 100% of the time.............

I mentioned 1.36935 as my first to watch reversal point, however i argued its too early to talk about reversal ... now we are second day in trading, after the gap the lowest point till now is 1.36935 - once price touched it , it marked the beginning of the buying leg! ( resistance turning into support) so, till the number hold or more buyers appear above it , the music continues

After a whole week of utter crap in the markets, I've finally taken another position, this one short on EU. Daily charts though, expect the move to take a while.

Is any one watching the Nikkie ... two hard selling hours ?!

Anyway, i shorted the Aussie at 0.90900 , SL 0.91350 target open - just in case if i wake up to find the nikkie selling to the ground. That will take a toll on equity market tomorrow

So...you are wating for .36935 to be retouched, and only then you will go long?
When is it gonna happen? How much will you stand aside before retouch? Is that price written in stone? Or is it around there?

It's so hard to follow this without a picture. I always thought that this thread was about bringing together lots of traders that can exchange information.

By this i understand that you have never heard of ECN brokers. Never the less, if you bought 15 lots at the retest of december low (green circle) you would be right now 30k+- profit. Assume the spread is 2 pips(usual marketMaker) -> 15*2*10$ = 300$ wins the broker on that trade.

Hi, thought I should post it at both threads, as although this place should be interactive trading and not a school, it often is. And since I just got schooled, thought it may help some people here, so they wont make same fail.

I very facked up. You can see from these two posts actually. I have traded NFP, plan was set clear. Leverage up to 40:1 before release and if release below entry and I get number desired, I scale up and lock at BE.

Quoting Tom_D_Trader
Am 40:1, deleted SL and no hedge. Am just gonna analyze data and decide after release. I can mentally survive spikey up to 1,37, but that will be the case very very close to heartattack. As I ve said, do not do this at home and just watch me burn .
We got great number and I have leveraged up to 80:1. Apart that second part of my plan, which was locking up at BE, ended up like this:

Quoting Tom_D_Trader
Lol ok. My broker crashed platform in the second it broke highs. Facker!!!!
I knew there was operation risk in broker failure and restarted computer pre release and opened two platforms, Java and Web. Unfortunately, all went down and I wasnt able to join to market for five minutes, where PA was breaking highs.

Got a margin cut where broker opened hedge long positions on EU, right at the top. Following retest of support before we finally broke to new highs cost me about 40% of account. I was willing to accept 8% loss if I fail this trade. This is unfortunately too much for me, as my account is now unable to pay me rent, which kinda sucks, coz am gonna need to work, again .

Well am doing what I should have done two weeks ago where I started to suspect my broker is incompetent, and withdrawing cash, moving to another broker. As trading yet again becomes part time job, I will be bugging a bit less. Good part in this is, am going to make much fewer trades, so you can actually have a look at nice slow analysis and not a berserk trade.

I hope you guys are having better times. Learn from my mistake and incude operation risk management in your trading plan.

GL,

Most traders do not trade like this. your example is a valid one, 95% of traders are the 5 to 35 pip traders and break even most of the time.

Retail traders over trade all the time and are not that discipline.....

Read it, dude.

There are no brokers that visit here to see where stops are placed.

Do you think that any single broker has the ability to swing the market to kill somebody who trips dimes for shits and giggles?

It is as big of steaming pile of dogshit trader myth, as you will find anyplace.

Magix right. It is just myth. Truth is EU up, because of the sentiment of the market. Some retrace is due, possibly today.

The absolute exit point for this one would be 1.2860, which is the origin of July's move up. I usually quit before that point when PA becomes unfavorable though.
