GU CPI long is looking sort of appetising to me...more so than the IFO anyways.. We'll see if I can gather the courage in about 20 mins
I took the plunge and entered long 1 lot and made profit, I had a perfect entry and exit on the news candle and now seeing it back down to exactly what is was is a pretty amazing feeling. Thank you guys See you next time, probably for the NZD trade balance

{quote} New Home Sales is not that high impact in my opinion. And there are too many red news for this week. I think that sort of reducing the impact for each news. I'd rather stick with a few but very important news to ensure a high statistical edge.

thanks for the info.

{quote} which pair do you trade E/U or G/U ?
I don't really look at fundamentals or technicals to be honest, if that is what you are driving to.

At the moment I have an E$ trade open from earlier today (German IFO), so to avoid muddling the waters there, I am looking at going with UCAD, spread is very reasonable...

I have developed a dislike in any GBP based pairs as they seem to be very volatile at the moment with plenty whip at all times, so I am considering avoiding GBP pairs.

Would you perhaps have any suggestions for me to look at?

no no HannesJoub, it was only just curosity, i think i will try with EU just because spread is lower than GU or UCAD, let's cross fingers

Well, that news seems to be a snoozefest.

Aw man, every time I post about a position it gets stopped out...

That E$ position was stopped out for +45 pips. Seeing as I did not adjust lot size downwards after the previous 3 (!!!3!!!) losses of this morning, I am actually at BE / in slight profit for the week...thus far proving (or rather not disproving) my assumptions that you should endeavour to keep lot sizes constant, especially after losses.

I am satisfied.

I will be looking at Draghi's speech as well, on E$ seeing as I have no position there now...

Cheers

I got out of my UCAD pendings, so I missed that blip...

Concerning EURGBP, again there is the GBP component that I, personally, am not fond of, but that pair in general is, well, for lack of a better word, for me, blech...for Draghi's speech I will look at E$. Good luck to you.

I may just exclude Draghi's speeches as well, man, price drifts upwards and then the bottom falls out by around 40 pips to ruin my days stats...Ag well, that is the way the banana bends I guess

He shows loses.. Not many people are loud about a losing trade...

Believe me, I have wanted to tear the trade explorer down more than once this month...

It feels crappy taking loss and even crapier sharing it with the whole inter-web thingy...

But, the sun will shine tomorrow, I think.

Everybody takes losses. Trade explorers mean nothing. The only thing they are good for is to make you feel better when someone else took a loss. LOL

I think if you back off the leverage and position size and only risk 1-2% of your account balance per trade, instead of what looks like 1% risk per pip, you can claw it back as long as you make a plan and get disciplined about it. You're account isn't too far gone to bring it into profit.

20% drawdown on an 18 pip loss is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay way, way too much. That is 10 times what I lose in a 20 pip loss. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Only a small handful ever get lucky and get rich quick, the rest go broke.


That said, I have my FXtrade account funded, am comfortable with the platform and have a plan to trade the news starting next week........ And I risked 2 pips on a 1 dollar trade LOL so I could activate the trade explorer and make it visible. I'm going to share the pleasure and pain.
I don't care which way the market is going as long as it's going my way
