hello, I need your advices on the big problem I got myself into. I went short on Eur/USD at 1.2550 then when it went up so badly I hedged at 1.2750 to avoid getting wiped out. What do you advice me to do to get out of this with not such a big loss. Your thoughts will be much appreciated. Thanks
you already made the decision when you hedged so close both start again. Dont hedge dont sit on 200 pip draw downs

Going to close two shorts and take the $ (as my goal TP was not quite hit) and treat the third most in the money as a longer term play into next week. I typically don't like holding over the weekend, particularly when we had a decent retrace this week.

Edit: I chickened out and took the $ on all three. Will watch to see if the pair stays sideways next week or has enough momentum to break 25 area. If it drops and stalls to 25 again next week early, I will likely take a long with a tight stop. It it goes north, will play shorts all week and hope that one of those is alive when 25 eventually does break. Keep it simple.

{quote} good one, i had a st setup for a long 108.xx. i have a large mid at 111.xx .. i was shooting for it. obviously i lost that one. it didn't get 2727 on the eu last night while sleeping either. the 24 and 12 closed red.. a ugly red. but never to less red. i closed most of my shorts anticipating a 2727 bounce, it got to 2715. so i have a light load.. 1h hammer, but still a red 12 and 24 in that same close, that's why i said ugly red. red under 2673!
I follow a simple method gifted by x.oden about five years ago.If you remember that chap driven away from this thread by few. This method remained under logic testing for about five years. I now don't have to worry about any technical, use them just for entry. More I dig into basics of this method, more I believe in the market value of this method claimed by x.oden ......................... one billion dollars. Outcome either positive or BE. This trade is the final test of this method. I wonder even if he truly knows what he got from his boss, a forex billionaire.

@Chazzle, on USD/CAD the weekly R1 (greenish line, 1.1190) must be decisively broken in order to justify longs. It was positioned to go up before the news release (note how weekly R1 was respected from the top side, not it serves as a ceiling) I am not saying it can't be broken, but you have to wait for it on a 1-hr time scale {image}

damn. you are really close to the price with that chart

{quote} So you don't believe in technicals but you rely on them for your entries!
I do not use technicals like pattern, fibs, bat, butterflies, trend lines, stochs, HH, LL, pivots, etc. But it doesn't mean I trade with eyes closed. Have to study charts for things like how pa is reacting to a new development, going up or down, pulling back, consolidating or trending, etc. As far as believing on technical studies is concerned there is nothing wrong in believing in technicals, but one should have a method that tells what to do if technicals do not play out as expected. My method has few such good tactics and therefore I don't have to worry too much if technicals do not play out or if I take a trade disregarding technicals. In other words I am not reliant on technicals as a strategy, but use them as tactics or a measuring tool. I first decide to long or short, and then look at the technical for optimum level, it is not other way round. I do not short/long only if pa has touched a fib or weekly close, etc. but use them to enter/pyramid my trade and not always or most of the time. Have 108.00 for usd/jpy, if it goes above that level, will try to cover my back but won't worry until it crosses 111.00. Now I don't know if one calls this thinking a technical one. These are just my levels from where a downward trend is expected to start.

ps. Is there anything which you want and that you can buy for 2 billion dollars but not for 1 billion dollars? Any amount above 1 billion is useless in most cases. Same is true for a currency. No matter what bad news come out after it has reached a bottom, it wont affect the price as much. Who was that guy Carl Marks? There is something about diminishing satisfaction level in economics. Long time ago, don't exactly remember.
