So now I finally know whats the impact of sales..... (joke). Anyway, problem for bears now, is that H4, which is about to close in 5 mins is definitely going to be scary and breaks few levels. Hope weekly open @ 184 is not among them. Btw, ofc I martingaled there. Think that guy was smart fella.


I am long at 830

Took a loss on UJ but was able to close EU short before the news release. The numbers are really bad and the dollar run is overextended. Think this might go to 1,1975-1,20 area before ECB.
Well, if it'd like to take back some of these red pips before it goes up there, I'd be more than happy!

I can go all in with AA in my hands pre-flop at any table but not here .

Below 1.1750 eur was 1/2 against dollar index. Index may move complete 100 pips today or even test to 91.

YOU traders were convinced of a rebound since we broke 1.2 to restest it , you were so concerned about that then you shifted sentiment when you have seen how market is determined for the downtrend , psychologically saying market usually aims for some levels before turning and that level seems to be hard to reach, the problem is not how we reach it but how to identify it and there where most of you fails .

{quote} You didn't answer his question. What was your impetus for entering the trade? Nothing wrong with attempting to understand a trader's reasoning behind an entry. This helps people learn. Are you using fibo retrace? Candles what? Because I agree with ahacker, I see no reason to go long at that point. Actually it was a great time to be short, and I did, the entry trigger was perfect. {image} Cheers
That guy didn't ask a question to learn...its just one of those people who wait for other people's entries and then if they are wrong, act like they knew it all along. But you never see a trade being posted by them, they always come after with their "I knew that". lol

btw I was long, because that spike that just happened, I was expecting that to happen from above 1750, not after the break...

Well that was the risk on chasing shorts at these levels. It was trading air when it got here but now after 5 days we have a confirmed consolidation area. I don't think you can do much with stops at 1.185x except let you stop out for the just in case. Now we have double H4 and daily rejection of lows in play. Still 1.181x is line in sand again like yesterday (its stronger level now as it will become daily Support and probably Weekly if we retrace).

However, for the first time this year there is a valid swing trade(s) in my books in play. Tracking 1.181x for the break back up to 1.198x with extension to 1.227x and the failure to complete the move to 1.157x.

Best of luck with those final shorts you are holding...

Hi,

sorry to hear about your performance. I can give you a hint, everyone already knows about, but still need to reapeat it. Use only a very small part of your account deposit per trade. Don't know how how much you use. As far as I am concerned, if I have an account of say 1000USD I would not open more than one position at a time of 0,1 lot. If I plan to open two positions I make them 0,05 lot. This is a an element of discipline, that should go before every other aspct of trading know how imo.

Regards
Mike

Thx for input mate. I know, am a bit sad now. I ve already made this mistake few times that I got confused on final break and overleveraged wrong level. Now it was 1,177, which got me to this trouble. It all began with this fake h1, which was also ,179 hold, break and then confirm. Those are in white circles. Am fine, but was in pretty nice profit and now +only 0,6% this month. SL covered +0,17.

yes I agree, but if I used minimum risk it would just take longer to lose all my account because I fundamentally cannot manually trade

{quote} Great reply, I agree; everybody has his own strategy and your trades sometimes seem risky, but your analysis seems sound and with correct moneymanagement you must be doing well. Anyone caught the short spike?
All trades are a risk, its all about money management and a good SL. And I don't post all the trades, either...before I entered the long at 1780, I was short from 1810 and closed that trade at 1785, because it seemed too bullish to me. But then again...if I didn't close that trade, the retail news spike would have closed it, so I wouldn't have any profit from that either. I don't have the patience to hold a trade for long...so I get in and out. Even when I post a target 200-300 pips away, I don't hold...I just keep trading towards that target and close the trades in between and try to re-load at better levels again, on a daily basis.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

Than my advise is You have to close out yourself, your human personality from making any move in the market. In this case you really have to refine your system. I know this kind of situation pretty well, you have to make/find out a system, which will make every decisions, and than you won't feel guilty. Don't torment yourself. If you would like to speak about this , just write, sometimes it helps if you know you're not alone with this problem.
Every successful trader goes through this. Need to fail to know the bad, and to appreciate the (even small) good.
Ok...end of wiseness.
