{quote} dude, i'm still in my original trades and my stops are 100 pips wide you got stopped out of your long trade it has to get above 109.5 to say that it will be more bullish but it can't even get through 109.3 decisively
If you stops can be 100 pips wide, why can't mine be? Lmfao.

you probably got a margin level warning if your stop is 100 pips based on your leverage and risk

lol

Its absolute crap and its one of those rare days when it does this (sudden up/down ~30pip moves). None of the other usd crosses are so bad today. It looks like 61.8% fib is holding and there is a big bull/bear fight.

That works only if you have a strong bearish bias, but not for price following traders. I try to stay away from bias-thinking because markets do whatever they want and not what I think they should. It's good if this works for you, it does not unfortunately for me but well, at least I limited my exposure.

You should put him on ignore list like I did. He is extremely aggressive.

I agree bias thinking not good.. but there are setups.. PA setups.. ok its not 100 pips moves but its not so bad.. choping in 20 pips range is my idea of bad.

edit.. too much bias thinking is not good
