you need to close these trades and take the loss. Except if this loss is still within your trading plan
If you think you can or cannot do it you are correct

{quote} OK I am kinda mixed technical w/ fundamental based on what is driving the market to sell or buy AUD - if the market is selling I will get out of longs Technically, I might try to sell around .73x if it will ever get there because all the supply/seller are sitting there
Im worried about my shorts, i have 3, 0,6860 - 0,6905 and 0,6935

Well I can't tell you what to do - but looking at the H1 chart - price already break out from X and if the Day close above it - it is save to assume that price will go to test XX

Had a few small longs overnight, didn't expect them to do this well. On the 4h, testing resistance and 100d ema at 702, if it breaks it on the 4h, I will add longs to sl at 700, current sl at 697, maybe will tighten as I'm not sure if it will go higher.

Learning to accept losses is one of the trait of being a successful trader. Risk management is the key to trading success. You may disagree with me, but that is what works for me.

Once you have overcome this pain and acceptance of closing out your losing trades, especially when price is around .70 now and you have short trades as low as .6860, you need to start taking action, otherwise you face the risk of margin calls and account close out eventually if prices go further up.

I've been in your shoes before, sometimes pride and ego supersedes our ability to think, call it the 'male ego'. I don't have the right to tell you what to do, just sharing my thoughts because i find what you said familiar and i can relate it to myself when i first started trading.

Safe trades mate!

I did put a lot on those trades, but they are about 20% of my account, so its not THAT much to put the whole account in risk! But thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it. I do have some shorts down there, but the risk is set, i never trade without SL!

for those who are trapped with shorts, watch 6920 closely. if you want to get out quickly this could be your last chance. otherwise it may take weeks before it reaches today's lows

Complex bottoming pattern with an ending diagonal (c) developing.
Potential medium term short @ top of 4.

I can see some buy potential (maybe 50 pips) if the 'important' EUR and/or GBP news isn't all that good today.

As people have mentioned, I think we're seeing a bit of a floor until some major news comes out of China or the RBA, some good scalping to those brave enough.
