The fact that they cant comprehend with their small brains is that even if they put a SL or not they will anyways get stopped at some point, because the margin call is inevitable after a big loss. Now i ask you guys seriously, isnt it better to have a SL, and actually know ahead the maximum you can lose so you can quantifiy your trade's outcome, and have reliable statistics about your system? Or on every trade you will bite your nails and pray that you dont get too much negative? Or if you do, you just put more trades on to hedge your risk, but...

We get it already...

You have lost your ass by not doing this...

Let it go.

Move on....

You obviously cant comprehend that a margin call will stop you out anyway, the chance that a 700 pip stop will stop you out will still cause less damage than a margin call, supposing that you have proper lot size.

It might be helpful if you could come to understand that other people can do things differently than you do, and differently than the 'obvious' way of doing things.

But they don't always come back,.even at 700 pips before MC you can expect to lose an account atleast once per year.


I would have to trade at 25% current lot size to get 700pips before an MC.


It's better to have smart entries with tight but solid SL placement, with low odds on being hit, but thats just me.

I am curious on what justification do any of us have to have accepted the assumption of price predictability and market innefficiency? Is it faith or hope that in fact innefficiencies exist in the market and that we are actually able to profit? or do we actually have evidence and sufficient reason to support the asumption of an inneficient forex market? In economics and finance it is often said that profit comes from information, a well informed investor is able to profit from temporary market inneficiencies or mispricing of certain assets, if in...

Missed that reply magico... so sorry.

btw,,,,,,,,, it's entirely possible to trade NFP IF you wait 15 to 30 minutes after
then trade your method. Just thought I'd throw that in there even at the risk
of the dreaded troll accusation thingy. (most overused word in Internet lingo)

Agreed.

I just don't.

TK and London typically play a very narrow channel before NFP and so then it boils down to waiting until all this is over before you can work into End Of Week market...

After the smoke clears, trade on...

For me, I prefer to just take a long weekend...

It's a personal thang.

Hmm, maybe the CNY GDP report can put some pressure in the USD, since they are good trading partners.

But if the market will be very flat, then i think i`ll stick with the NZD report's aftermath.I`ll just buy or sell 15-30 min after the report is released and hope that the shock of the news will have a long lasting impact.

I also hope it will be bullish for the NZD to get some swaps.
