Crap all US data seems to point to a Fed mistake. What now, the bottom is in?

Maybe for the day? The weekly chart is still bearish. MACD crossed this week.

You could be right and I hope you are. If oil stays at these levels, I don't expect to to read a Fed minutes report without it mentioning the effects of oil on the CPI. I don't think we will hear any QE talk, at least not this year, but I think the Fed will hold off on raising interest rates for a while and will eventually have to cut.

I took a long position last September @ .6930 that I held for four months until I eventually got stopped out at a loss (I'm not afraid to admit it). I've been on the sidelines since, but I've now just entered a new position based on these numbers with a SL at .6812.

What was your target? Why did you not move your stop to break even or at least small profit when price entered 73 range 3 separate times during your holding period? What R:R do you use? (Given you were over 400 pips up and worst it would have been was 102 down you must be using higher than 4:1).

It's good that you can admit your mistakes but you also need to ensure you are learning from them. Good luck!
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

My target is par and I don't mind holding for five to 10 years if it takes that long as long as the rollover is positive. So many traders close their positions after it has gone their way for only 10 to 30 pips. Yet if the trade goes against them they will hold on to the trade for a loss of 100 pips+ while continuing to add to their losing position only to eventually get closed out because of a margin call.

I use to trade this way also. But now I do the complete opposite. If a trade goes against me I close it quick; however, if it goes my way, at that point I add to my position.

Last September, I went long 150k at .6930, and I eventually got up to 300k. I moved up my SL, but I didn't have to move it up as much because of the positive swaps. I actually didn't end up losing that much. If anything really, just time.

Most of the time I get stopped out of trades, but because I keep a tight SL, I don't end up losing too much. When I do win on a trade though, it's usually massive.

Anyways, this time I have a much bigger starting position of 350k and I'm in it as long as I don't get stopped out. May the Aussie Gods look down upon us.

left my long overnight and im suprised it hit my TP after more mining/commodity carnage. I'm thinking we might see a substantial rally if we get a decent dead cat bounce from other sectors. Waiting for more PA till any futhur trades.

Much of what you say makes good sense and shows that you have analysed yourself and your results. If by par you mean parity than you are using R:R of over 30:1 which, in my opinion is too high, but if it works for you then I wish you all the best. You are right that it has cost you time - are you familiar with the concept of opportunity cost?

I don't know whether your references to 150k in positions is indicative of your required margin or the size of the underlying asset you control, I don't know your leverage etc (I also don't need to know). If it is your required margin than you could be talking what I consider massive position sizes (approx 300 standard lots) and I would have thought that too large for a single entry. Depends a lot on how much capital you have (again I don't need to know - it's just a point for you to ponder if you haven't already) and how far along your trading journey you are. I've found it best to trade small position sizes until having found a system that works for me.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Yep, that's right may the Aussie gods look down upon us. I'm short AUD since July 2014 and I would like to have another 10-15%.
