What a day.
I had to take an exam a couple of hours before FOMC.
I didn't have much money at my account because I lost pretty much the last couple of weeks.
Before I left I went long @1.0620. A few hours ago i came home and saw nice profit
I closed it and shorted around 1.08, but it was going up again, so closed it with loss unfortunately.
Now I have a short @1.1017 and don't know what to do: close it or let it run
I am happy that my account is still alive (with nice profit today) and hopefully I can build it up again with good MM.

My gamble of today with a small account high risk.

DAX30 Buy triggered @11970 19:03CET, touched 12000, and finally ended to the manually adjusted SL @11965 19:21CET. TP 12200 never reached.

In 18min I was in hope, ecstasy and very greedy (or as you all guys may call it stupid).

Lesson Learned: (still) keep the fingers off the main account and take a day off on such meetings. (but hey, the account is still there)

THANK YOU ALL for the last few days and great inputs.

{quote} shooting star is negative, the candle is positive... no shooting star. It's an inverted hammer (bullish). You should stay away from any selling position for today.... This could be a trend reversal.

{quote} h candle below 0837 would be wild.. big money s trades triggered 1.1
It IS getting wild! I'd say there's plenty of jittery funds (banks/corpos) included out there right now. I still can't help but think maximum hurt is to the top-side.

We'll see. Eye-of-a-newly-created-storm to me right now. Bull$hit to the left...bull$hit to the right. Dust must settle

Again...> 1.0850ish roll will be WAY outside what I had pegged. Guess its closer to it now...but those stops above have been BLOWN!!!

Great day! I have been putting on longs with tight stops over the last week, I got stopped on a few positions but no big deal. Today I made up for all of them on a 300p ride. Looking for better levels to go long again. This correction isn't over.

not on top of a move. red is better and one can still be bullish for other reasons. a hangman or i hammer is not noted for bullish (it leans bearish).. if it was red and another candle below it is more bearish.. looking west there is some light s/r in the upper wick high level.. its also 1.1xxx phsc..
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

agree its not a shooting star, more a pin needing this one to confirm, but inverted hammer is not bullish sign, considering variables like where it positioned re surrounding candles, S&R etc etc

Does anyone have more color on your execution abilities as 1.10 traded? The fact that FOREX.COM just shut off dealing as price speeded up is really alarming... there was no data out, no news, just price squeeze. I couldnt deal above 1.10 at all for those few seconds.... almost fked up and fat fingered at one point.
Wow...that's a little alarming! I could have traded with any...well, either...of my brokers that I had open at the time. You mean...they went dark? That's not cool.
