{quote} Trading was easy last year, the euro became a funding currency for the carry trade based on the commodities boom and the dollar rise. That landscape changed, a blind monkey could make money last year, and let's be honest your biggest run was based on that. Any idiot could short the euro just about anywhere and end up in profit as long as he watched his exposure. All that changed, the commodities crashed, the US had their ill timed rate rise and the carry trade is being unwound. Couple that with the Chinese reduction in growth and the worldwide...

{quote} Hoping for 1230 was a technical misjudgement, that level just isn't anywhere and is arbitrary at best.
Doesn't have to be to exact levels though? 1.1236 was only thing in my way, and i moved SL to B.E incase of something at this level, which there was.
Also can I PM you?

{quote} You can't have it both ways, you were waiting for 1230, that is an exact number. You need to look at areas, only those especially gifted or experienced can get it down to a pip or two. By focusing on a number, you missed the consolidation on the lower TF's that clearly pointed to an intermediate reversal. PM's for buddies only.
How do i become a buddy :'D

{quote} Spend less time in here and more time focusing on your trading, what others do or say is irrelevant to your bottom line. Find the consolidation areas on the lower TF's and play the breakouts. {image}
this was not all on EU only today, was it? because i dn see that many consolidation areas and breakouts
There is only one way to learn. It’s through action.

Well clearly you are exceptionally good at trading, I'm not being needy just simply taking some initiative to see if I can get some tips or time on trading, I have a long way to go in this game and I figure spending time with good traders obviously helps. anyway thanks

hey guys, at what time (Paris time) is Yellen on line?
I don't want to criticise (much) but this needs saying. So in 4 or more years of trading you didn't find the forex calendar??? Wow. It's the most important thing....But it's your business..... But people must always keep an eye, and close trades before big events. Keep a shortcut in your favorites / bookmarks.Even your OANDA, quite a mess i think, has news in platform. Or had news.
Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.

Been short since 1.129xx levels w/ tight SL. In EUR never is everyone short especially with news coming out. My +40 can change fast and EUR has enjoyed the bounces in the recent.

{quote} Trading alongside someone else won't help you a lot. Our psychological makeup, risk appetite and technical/fundamental knowledge and understanding are vastly different. You need to find something that suits you. There are countless stories/articles on professional traders/pit traders/HF employees that never make it on their own, once they leave or lose their job, they are stuck, they can't figure out how to trade for themselves. They were so used using the bank's/company model that they couldn't make it work outside the office. That model...
With all due respect I understand what you are saying but spending time with professionals helps, you have to learn from somewhere and cant just pick it up on your own. I knew one of the best forex traders in UK and he didn't start off on his own just looking at charts, he spent time on trading floors first... And clearly you are good at trading so just some insight into how you look at it would be helpful, I wouldn't be looking to completely replicate how you trade... just some analysis on how you find certain levels, anyway i thought id give it a shot and ask if i could maybe get some experience with you, no harm in trying

The biggest problem with this statement is saying you can't pick it up on your own. If that truly is your mentality get out of forex now. With all due respect* you should not rely on anyone's advice or knowledge. Heck if half the people here all traded off Goldman Sachs tips they would be broke and have burned accounts. Isn't Goldman Sachs one of the best ? Sure? Maybe and yes they have made some amazing calls in the past so have many traders here. However the past is the past - you need to be confident in yourself and only take tips from pros and posts from these forums as extra food for thought. Some questions here and there are good but don't expect much.. Believe in yourself and work on YOUR system.
