Hi Alex
well done my friend. 
as i suspected yesterday they have used this to produce a 'killing field'.... we must be aware of the sort of places big orders may be lurking and how the MM's play their game.
missed this trade myself was into other things by the time this took off.
regards
Phil.

G/U demo trade....
this was a counter trade, the difference here to the E/U trade was this was not in a place i would suspect big trending orders to be.
avoid what is strong and attack what is weak..... AOW.

E/U update....
the demo stats for anyone interested for the account i am using to show some of the ways i trade.... little and often works very well once you lose the overnight 'wanna be a millionaire' desires/thoughts..... slowly and safely build that ants nest from the crumbs that fall once we see the footprint.

Hi Alex
Hi my friend.
I actually had just sat down at my desk to do my assessment of charts and was watching the killing fields already - saw and felt the bulls kick in big and so followed them pre the news so thought they would go for it as bulls very much stronger all of a sudden and scared shorts of course. Bit luck with timing. Just went with momentum - then it went all wide rangey - tried that out a bit for the longs but took my men out with some small pips as too much selling kicking in and bulls having trouble here and there - could have made more but I didn't like it.
Alex (not so cool really)

Hi Alex
well done my friend.
so long as you know when you are trading counter and apply the correct management to it then you should not have problem, i do it as well sometimes, to me the key thing is to know where we are in the move as you see by my charts i am always eyes wide over the time frames surveying the battlefield and where the places of interest are to fight or leave the battle.
it definitely felt like that to me as well (the buying), that is why i hit the H1 buyers area with that last trade.
regards

know what is above so you trade correctly below... (facts and reality)

ANT's WORK a lot of the time...
ADDED...
i should just remind everyone that this is a demo and so trading one pair at a time to show some ideas on money management, i would of usually been trading 2-4 pairs at a time and doing the same thing with the money as i showed here..... offsetting profit/loss trades to book a 'set' of trades to my account, i am trading my account (the money) not trying to beat any single pair, all that should matter to us is protecting our account and booking a profit..... that is our goal as traders.
the 'magic' is not in just adding the skews as most do and then they wonder why 'it bite' them, the art is in you managing/adjusting them in very open and flexible ways, the skews are just a tool and it takes practice and time to get the best out of any tool.
