in a sense, forex trading = gambling.
it's just matter of how much money you are willing to lose for how much profit.
at least you got 50:50 shot.

it is not gambling when you manage your risk. It is "taking chance on calculated risk". Professional pokerplayers do the same... (ok in that sense, it is gambling )
but it is not a "luckshot"

Truth be told, I am having a difficult week with EUR.
Sunday gap - please lets not discuss whether there is gap or not again - screwed up my whole plan.

I had my eyes on 1.0820 for the past two weeks. It barely touched it last week and this sunday opened up above that and even traded 1.09 after such a long time. I was planning to stop shorting once I see an hourly close above 1.0820 but I still did short @1.0846 with a stop @1.0860 which failed. The only reason I tried a short was due to the significance of the resistance zone.

What then happened was actually a bearish sign for me end of the day.
Yesterday I seeked a short entry @1.0877 which never came and even tough I took the short @1.0868 , closed it once London closed above 1.0850.

US session dumped it below 1.0800 but not being able to reach 1.0788 was a sign for me that there were bulls lurking here.

With that idea on my mind, I began the day and had faith that London session would at least try to get closer to its previous close. I therefore took the long @1.0784, the only game plan I had was take a short closer to 1.0850.
That also failed terribly. You see even tough I was bearish all over, didnt make a dime since the entry I seek was nowhere to be found.

It now tested 1.0748 - fib 38.2% and the juicy short opportunity is now missed. It can go all the way to 1.0610 from here or take the high of Monday.

Why am I sharing this? Just to give you an idea that you are not alone. It is literally impossible to win at all times even tough your bias is correct.

Have a good one peeps. Tomorrow is a new day.

Sure man, the little beast actually helped me become a more patient individual. I am trading for a living but I definitely dont live to trade mate.

There will always be an opportunity as long as you keep your powder dry. Thanks man.

I would like to know how you guys define a "gambler"? The term has been widely used over the last 3 hours, and it would seem that it is used incorrectly.

I'm not sure why so many people are convinced it's going to go back up to 1.09. Why not just bet all on black at the roulette table?

Yes mate . Modest targets. Not too far away... and trading only good opportunities ...which means LESS trading

The EU Stock Exchange merger got shot down... and the DXY goes weak? Now the EUR is trying to bull rally on a bearish flag pattern... interesting. Wonder if this is stop hunting before another drop...Heading to 07650 fast though....

Yes, I was looking for a retest to the 1.07400 level... it's the EU Stock Exchange merger news... I thought it would help the bears.. looking like I was wrong.
