Me neither. Had enough of that shit first time round. Back to day-trading for me!

ff statistics: 78% short cable avg return -7% avg duration 5 weeks (!!!) losing trades 1379 with 10 times higher volume than long trades. my question: is the avg return just the unleveraged outcome measured in pips? as far as i know, in fx-trading leverage is up to 200% (f.e. at ig where i am trading); so the result is up to -140%? if this is right, it would explain the highly emotional posts of some members...
Someone once told me, the bulls go up the stairs and the bears go out the windows

It goes like this if you catch a top you get a thrill profit is quick and you get a nice fuzzy feeling (I got rich quick)
Then you do it again... and it was just retracing so... you have good money management you keep you loss small
Now repeat 5 times and those little losses add up to the big win...

But some people, most really just keep doing it over and over looking for that feeling, all warm and fuzzy big quick win...

But in reality slow and stead small steps compounding wins the trading race... with the trend...

anyway you seen the scoreboard for yourself, just the way it is in this game 95% provide the profit liquidity for the 5% slow and steady, no excitement just growing profits..

and try not to draw on the account too often, that can also be a killer if times get slow...

Today was a major breakout, if you not long now suggest you get long because we have a lot of big picture analysis in favor of bulls for rest of the summer.

1. Technical side - GU has broken through a MAJOR level of weekly support and resistance. This is just the start of a long term breakout to upside.

2. Carney last meeting still going strong on monetary policy and trying to maintain its overall position in the very hawkish stance it currently holds.

3. The amount of retail on this trying to short for the past 2 months AT LEAST has been outrageous!! Not much to say there..



You guys wanna short something, put it on EURUSD.

The current place is not top catching. It reached 1.618 extension and 2 extension measured from several previous swings. High probably to retrace here.

Gotta admit to a long term player like me, I think the R/R is good to short and there is some confluence S/R and a fib...

tempting
