Excellent trades Mraam and nice humble lot sizes as well.I can see you are basically trading stress free and when you are relaxed you see the trades better.

PA is bearish now. Should Draghi move EU north which I think most likely scenerio GU will sail up on the wings of EU as well but in case opposite GU will follow EU south.
Key player today is ECB

never mind you cut is loose which I think its wise considering uncertainty of what's coming up.
Notice guys he ONLY had 1 position and cut it with extreme minor loss but he collected mega over 1k pips with ME positions.That's the advantage of ME cut it light but build it strong.
Well done managing the trade.

One of the key aspects of why 95% of retail traders lose in the business is being underfunded.
One way to increase your funds is by decreasing lot size.
If you have 1k account you should trade .03 .02 .01 lot sizes and not exceed total $1 dollar a pip.
You should trade lowest possible leverage

now your lot size matches with your account and you can trade stress free.That's the key trade with relaxed state of mind almost like mediation.
As your account increases your lot size should incrementally increase hence always keeping it under control.
This is critically important.Nothing worse then being forced to take a loss at 100 pivot then price reverses to your direction without you and only reason you got out because pain was too much and why pain in the 1st place? Position was too big so your trade management WAS TO BLAME NOT THE SYSTEM.
Just a reminder guys thank you

Its important for you to see PRICE in relation to pivots.When you add a variable like MA's it distorts the reality.Now your mind can't decide on a trade because somehow you placed more importance on MA then a pivot. On my thread there is always a reason why I try to keep this thread focused.
thank you

We are trading emotions, swings are waves made up of other people's perception of price.There is exhilaration and exhaustion on this emotions (swings) and pivots helps us locate those 2 opposite points of the swing.MA's are to some degree just mathematical history Independent of emotions.In comparison to pivots they are not leading indicator but lagging and not my preferred way to trade.

In the same boat - have my army lined up - but very little price action. Waiting patiently is a much underrated skill!

Just closed all short positions on DAX from 10665. The set up from R38 was not just fine but perfect.

Cheers!

So....)
lets never forget that the market by its nature is a great active prostitute(supposedly trans)))))))),whose only job is fuck as much as people it can.
I even couldn't imagine 1,5 hours ago,that the price on DAX would pullback from R61,but now it is A fact. Control the risk and your trades,and only by achieving this you have positive chances in this business.

Note to self: losses are part of the game. Just stick to the script and you'll be fine.

NZ short. +146 and still going. Aiming for R38.
