Talking I was impatient and should have waited
She did come down to get me at 213.20 for a split second. Oh Well I got on at 213.28 actually. GO GIRL!

Default Now she is driving around in circles in the parking lot!
I know she is eyeing 213.00 but I am going to sit here and watch her so she cant sneak south of the border. But it looks inevitable, so my orders are in down into 211.65. I really dont think she is going to bet there. I am very bullish. AND I never underestimate her downward fury which is why I am spaced so far going down and my account is using 400:1 on 1K lots with only $600 so I dont have alot to play with yet.

Default B4 you go
If she does begin her rise, do you buy on the way up? Or do you re-enter on the dips? If you do buy on the way up, do you t/p at intervals as well? As this is my first adventure with her going north I am in new territory. As I am just demo trading atm, I suppose it is not critical what I do but I would not like to begin live trading with bad habits.

I'm around now. I had to make some software fixes before tomorrow. I'm just now able to check the charts and can't find nothing but shorting negative carries. Which is not my favorite thing to do. I may take the week off. We will see.

Playing her up and down is FAR too chaotic. Shorting her is much like going skiing for the first time and finding the biggest steepist most tree filled hill
and taking your first trip on a set of skiis down this hill.
Are you calling me a fool? Trading the pair up and down is chaotic if you're day trading it (what everyone calls scalping here), but I don't operate that way. The combination of spread and (potentially adverse) volatility makes lots of intraday RTs unattractive.

Short from 213.63; but, I'm leery of a reversal candle at the 213, and by the look of it, a bullish reversal may be in the works - a harami/inside bar. If the 2200 ET candle closes above the 2000 ET candle, that will complete a three inside up pattern, which turns things back up, momentum permitting. The last time a three inside up pattern occurred on the Guppy? 0600-0800 ET on 07/16 in the low 208s. How many pips did that reversal signal produce? If any of those occur and is validated overnight, the HL/HH (higher low/higher high) beginning with the high on 07/17 would remain intact. 214 remains the level to close above.

Well based on all that information, I will check over my spreadsheet and see if the calculations agree with the way you explained it (if not, the spreadsheet is wrong, not you )

But then why do people say that leverage is the most dangerous part of forex .. go around this board and you will find people saying that all over the place .. "dangerous" to have high leverage .. you can end up owing more than your account value (with some brokers) .. is that because with higher leverage, people start taking greater risks, like putting on 40 positions when they should only have 10? Rrram says it is not leverage that is the problem but margin use .. so if you have 400:1 leverage and are 40% into margin, that is much riskier than having 100:1 leverage and being 40% into margin .. is that it?
