no body really has a video because brokers kind of gone offline, so people were disconnected from the price feed for minutes last I heard.....

{quote} I don't think I'm all that "mentally strong" yet, but yeah.... that's what I do. I almost never use a small S/L, but I DO use an "emergency" one. Yeah, like 50 pips usually. I may never have considered that had it not been for what the crazy Swiss did in mid January, but since then... (and I know even 50 pips wouldn't have helped on that day, but AT LEAST I could have gone back later and argued with my broker that I TRIED to do the right thing by having a S/L in place.)
I cannot compare my trading with professional trading, because it's not. And I cannot compare my tech. infrastructure with the pro's because it's not also. I have experienced more than once that I simply cannot get out of the trade when I want to exit. I did not lose a lot by this but it turned winners to losers. so no stop is not an option for me. a tight stop ... you all know what can happen.

Am sorry for all who lost, etc, etc. Apart from Aplari. That broker deserved to go under.

{quote} I have updated portfolio management *.xls, so here goes. Is still one way, sorry , but I believe you can adapt it to bias of your choice. Whole table is set for a default currency beeing USD. First collumns counted out in each portfolio list (EU, UJ, GJ,....) are "base currency". So should you wish to change direction of table, simply change columns for "base currency". Same applies if your account is denominated in something else than USD - yet again takes a small change in "base currency" count. For cross currencies, you gotta set spot rate to change in your base currency - just write it to top of portfolio list (Check EG and GJ portfolio lists for reference). If you find any bugs, please report. All numbers ofc fake. Enjoy, Tom {file}
..noone has reported bug yet, but I believe there must be some, since I am still working on it..now pretty complex tables which I am afraid to put here coz not checked properly. But am changing it a lot, so I dont exclude errors. Is just to get idea for perfecting MM.

I was watching it on the Eur/USD when it happened. It was bouncing up and down 10-30 pips in the same manner as it usually does 1-2pips, meanwhile the range was like 200 or more pips, so its just going up and down wildly. Looked broken. Never seen anything like it.

{quote} Oh mate you cant imagine how much these low timeframes already cost me . But err, I wanna be a millionaire, so I gotta zoom in, so I can shoot hard and have tight SL.
Focus on eurgbp if you do that, with a 5 pips stop (on m5/15 tf) you can get 30 pips out of it.

With Euro its more volatile, its hard to have such tight stop unless you trade m1 but m1 gives more fake signals than any other tf
And most people expect a 200 pips run up from m1 trading. It can happen, but rarely

That swissy crash was positively insane. holy f***! I was watching EU and GU at the time, and opened swissy charts up probably
within seconds (more likely minutes), of hearing the news feeds which i had open.. the most violen thing i have ever seen in markets. ever.
thankfully- no trades on that mutha..
for your guys opinions- do you think that could ever happen to EU or GU or other major pairs?

theres always a probability but that probability is very low. the reason why EURCHF fell that hard is because there was literally no liquidity in the EURCHF market when the depeg happen...

imagine a market where you are and your friend are the only traders, when you sell he buys, and when he sells you buy, a very rational and calm market, but when both of you sell, you and your friend would keep quoting a lower price competiting each other to find a buyer. but sadly theres no buyer because its just the 2 of you...... the price only finds support where there is a buyer. and in EURCHF because of the very narrow trading range of 1.20 it didn't attract anyone to trade EURCHF, so liquidity was dry so when eurchf depegged, everyone panicked sell and no one was in the market to buy....

That type of movement is usually reserved for pairs where one of the central banks is trying to artificially prop-up or hold back the value of its currency. It can also be seen in the past by the Bank of Japan.

As a trader you need to be aware of what the central banks are doing and what tendencies for intervention that they have had in the past. They may repeat their actions in the future. Study, investigate, and ask questions to protect yourself in the future.

GREEN pips to you.
