{quote} I do not always follow him. However, he used to enter heavy at the very begining of a breakout dividing his position in three parts and then used to sit until trend exhausted. He always played trend reversals when a new trend started making hhs or lls. He used to get out at first sign of danger after entering, but sat tight for all retraces. This way his profits were huge and losses were small.
I did it once with a small account, I set 100 pips SL and I was buying every 50 pips up, every 100 pips gain I was trailing by 100 pips, I doubled my account in 3 weeks, keep in mind I was able to buy at the bottom of the retracement which I considered a bull market…She got there very quick.

According to his worksheets/logbooks, he bought second higher low in a new uptrend. He never pyramided. Just bought in three or four lots. People who think he used to pyramid postions need to re-read what he actually said.

ok…but I remember very well saying that he did not understand traders that were buying more when in negative, he said that he would buy more only when the books were showing profits…..anyway I could be wrong…..you know….the age..

I shorted on every rise and collected 5 pips each on 4 trades. All against the trend. Recklessness or plain stupid?

Both.

This crazy FOREX market ....about 100 pips up "for no apparent reason" !!.... this is a lesson that it's very dangerous to leave open trades overnight without stops.
These moves happen every time at years end.
Market positioning for the new year combined with low liquidity.
Stay out of this market unless you have experience with it.
Liquidity will only be back from the second week of January.
Then the maket will get back to its fundamentals.

Was a nice run. Time to start looking for shorts. I think the euro-bull party is coming to an end.

It might also just be taking a breather.

Like what milam did, keep buying when market goes up, with a trailing stop, should work. Your position size only grows bigger when market goes in favor of you. Position size wont grow when market goes agaisnt you.

it works in a trendy, run away market. Does not work in a ranging market.

This is what it was all about. Penetrating 1.3800. It can now go anywhere. Good Luck. I am short until either 1.3815 or 1.3750

Possible yes, it might even drop 150 pips like a knife... Might touch 1.3850 before...

So, the price is back at the top for you to short it again ? Why would price go back three times in a row to the same place it was sold at ?! It has been hovering under 1.38 with no signs of bears - at all !



*Anyway, Buying for intraday position could be emotionally easy with a stop just under 1.37880 ...
