{quote} the best way to lose money is a tight initial stop loss, IMO. i agree to a fixed one, if 30+ pips away for black swan protection. also the infrastructure can break and your trade is alone. inside this range, handle the SL by yourself. once you can move it to BE+, all is fine. who says every trade must hit SL or TP ? this works for me. 30+ pips SL for scalping M5 & M1, BTW.
Also the best way to utilize leverage and making the most for the least risked. Because of spread, I'm usually stuck in a 5-7 pip sl...but if I moved over to an ECN I'd be fine with 2 pips.

Last week was one of the best week for me in trading. Due to Greece news impact on euro I have restricted my trading on Friday, and had suffered a small loss on Thursday but previous 3 days have been fantastic and hence overall a huge week for me.

Hopefully coming weeks will be positive too.

I do and did aggressive scalping.

{quote} {quote} hi, would you mind to answer my question, please ? best, v.
It is not worth finding reason why price moved the way it did, most of time price just moves without events due to market participants. Price bumped up becouse of few reasons, nothing special in fundies, just tech stuff.

ATHENS, June 27 (Reuters) - A majority of Greeks favor accepting a bailout deal with international lenders, according to an opinion poll conducted before Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced a surprise referendum on the issue.

The survey by the Alco polling institute published in Sunday's edition of the Proto Thema newspaper, said 57 percent of people were in favour of reaching a deal, while 29 percent wanted a break with creditors.

The poll among 1,000 people was conducted between June 24-26.

Such an unfortunate event! Planning to vote 'no' btw, but seems it's a move to put pressure on creditors, so not sure the referendum will take place. More likely a mini deal by tomorrow to pay the imf and we see by next week.
i will vote both "YES" and "NO"... the result is going to be similar no matter what...

the blackmail didnt work...dont know if it works by TUE/WED but even if it does by then the referendum will take place ....

Greece has been a drain on EuroZone, letting them go is akin to stopping throwing good money after bad money.

If you trade a lot its worth getting rebate / commission reduction also. For scalping especially. I am as low as possible on ICM, 4 per position and it makes large difference from standard 7 USD.

The EUR/USD under the pressure of the strong US Dollar and Monday most likely it will break below 1.1130.

Typo in his comment.

"but i I moved over to an ECN I'd be fine with 2 pips"

Forgot the "f" after "i" so "if" I moved.
Notice "I'd be fine" so "I would be fine" not "I AM fine".

The same way after Last NFP.

The last NFP was good and eu dropped around 200 pips. When the market opened on Monday, the price was consolidating for a while then it moved up 210 pips thus erasing all Losses after NFP.

So anything could happen. Market may think Greekexit is actually good for eur.

No you are getting it wrong. The after move doesnt count, what counts is initial move from reaction. You cant say that after currency drops 200 pips and then it goes up 200 that result was up move, initial move was down from event. Same way for Greece, if it drops 300 or 500 pips and later goes up (due to lets say getting rid of bad hand) it doesnt change the fact that event caused EUR to drop, not appreciate initially. Besides that just becouse there is data event it doesnt mean that it will/should last with its impact on currency for weeks or months. It can be and very often is hedged by other event which then flips the market. That as long as event isnt very significant like rates or something.

i am null at fundamentals but let's think this way:
greece is out of the EU --> Any country might decide to leave EU --> EU is a union, if the union becomes smaller and smaller it will become weaker. the larger the union is the stronger --> more uncertainty in the future of EU --> EURO will fall

greece remains in EU --> more bailout plans --> more suffering of EU economy --> EURO will fall

so in my opinion whatever happens EURO will fall... that is my opinion logically because i suck at fundamentals

now technically, we should not go anywhere before touching 1.1103 then 1.1019 should be easy and the first real support after 1.1103 is 1.089
in the event where EURUSD breaks 1.1228 before touching 1.1103 it means the bulls are very strong and will drive the price above the current month's high

Greexit should be considered as fear event. Currencies drop on fear events, only Gold goes up. If there would be vote tomorrow for Greece, Spain and Portugal to leave EU and you put gun to my head, by no means i would put long on EUR. No way. Market wouldnt react positive.
