i might be able to save you

oil went from 80 dollars brent uk price to 69.75 in a week this last week - if you would of put 50k on that as a sell you would have roughly 330.000 british pounds

next week or within a month oil is predicted to go to 65 or even 60 - thus why not put 50k on a sell and take profit at 65 with no stop loss, as oil bounce up a few dollars is likely, but oil rise is almost impossible in this current market, so no stop loss means you cant close trade with short spike up, then you just hold for drop

at 65 dollars a barrell - youll have 165k pounds 260,000 usd - take profits, then reassess to trade down lower if oil keeps falling

the black stuff could save you

Interesting indeed - I had a look on oil - was thinking of it but was hesitant to act

Maybe I should take a closer look

My plan is this - Right now positions are locked in - but a simple release of 10 % of the sell lots each time I see a possible upward movement I take it

Whatever profit I make from the sell I close off some of the buy lots from the top thereby reducing my pip fall and exposure

So now if I keep doing that - each 100 pips gained on upward banks me in 9000 and if market drops I sell - use profits and remove some lots from the top

This way the balance stays the same - equity increases and pip fall is reduced

At lot of interesting replies in this thread. The OP has not told how he has hedged or locked his positions. If he has them locked similar to a grid, he can dig himself out as the market fluctuates between the high and low of his grid. If he has many positions clustered around specific price levels, then he is in serious trouble unless he gets very lucky, and he should start scaling out in a recovery type method. OP, no one can really help you unless we know how you are positioned. If you are not willing to share that. That's okay. Start anew with...

Hi - basically all positions are locked but waiting to be released and cut off with profits - I figure this is safer than trading the equity and adding new risk - I can add to equity by small hedge releases each time without adding a significant new risk to the account

A stranger over the internet who is sincerely asking for help would have his Trade Explorer up for the public before even asking for help. Only then he will deserve a sincere feedback.

Can accounts be traded with only 10 % equity - have so many bad trades opened at 1.3600 on EUR USD Long - Help please anyone The accounts involved have large sums - Please any help is needed
NO, you can't. You have absolutely no idea how to trade, what makes you think you can recover your account?

Someone who fails to hold a tennis racket in his hand cannot win the US Open.

My advice: Close out all positions immedeately
Forex is a losers game.

He had all positions shown at one time. When I saw it he had approximately 80-100 lots of EU long & all hedged short. He had about 10-12 lots of GJ long & all hedged short. The EU lots were entered in 4 or 5 trades about 18 lots each trade. The GJ lots were entered in 3 trades. With all positions fully hedged (locked), in reality he has no exposure so could just close all trades but it would just cost more in commissions to re-establish new positions so might as well slowly remove positions watching the swings up & down.

I have not idea if real or not but an interesting experiment to see the opinions of how to get out of the mess :-)

senior analyst at bank - with lots of similar commentary suggested usd keeps rising, euro going into trouble with QE on the horizon and growth problems, who would back a rise in euro against dollar with this as a market condition backdrop, perhaps small ups, but nothing big, all predictions are for euro further fall until later next year if dollar and us encounter problems with over use of QE eg the sting in the tail

i dont mean to sound mean but i was tearing my hair out this last two weeks when i made one big loss on oil circa 8k and then i was even more angry with myself this week when i made a similar mistake that cost me 2k -- but ive only been trading a month and i am in positive almost every day trading, ive doubled my original balance, so for the life of me i cant understand anyone new to trading who would bet 800k

with 800k you should of had porfolio of investments, some gold, some bonds, some on us stock market snp 500 and russell, a percentage on oil short which has been since june, some forex mainly buy usd , and then just manage portfolio -- as in a hedge fund, i have no idea what you actually did to lose this much - perhaps you could explain a little more -

your hail mary should be oil down - wait for little bounce eg 72 dollars this week, then short it and hope for fall to 60

Do you know how to hedge with options, futures, etc? I would try to see what is the total delta of this account and then I will hedge to make it delta neutral.Or sell calls/puts against your existing position. You will not need more margin, but unfortunatelly a covered call and its equivalent for puts (sell puts against short position=wraper) are still unlimited risk strategies, contrary to what many brokers are recommended. Or use complex strategies w/ controlled risk, like butterflies, condors, and other spread combinations.
But anyway, to drop the account to 10% is against any trading rule. Do you play the fundamentals? This woudl help too w/ your hedges. Better you should talk to a pro, who maybe will ask you at least 30% of your repaired account. Hedging w/ options you can still free the margin.

But you will have to wire me minimum 10% of the equity to let you trade that account

Sound familiar?
