Is the worst when you enter and price goes against you as if knowing you entered. *sigh*
Hey man...the trend is your friend. Not listening to that and not avoiding "Big News" days cost me thousands of dollars when I traded stocks and managed treasuries....

Just thought I'd let you know some of my hardluck experience

also...don't mean to go on and on here...

But IMO of course, a break below 195.65 opens the door for 195.00 or even Lower...if your trading real money then I'd make sure you have your stops in place because it looks to me as if it's wanting to tread deeper water....

I'm sure there are some more experienced players out there that might want to weigh in but that's just my opinion...don't know that I'd want to be long right now...

TP at 195.95... other 50% decent 65/75 pip gain

Staying true and avoiding big news days with open trades...

Good luck to all tomorrow on BOE day...

Yep...

Thought it might do that ...

I've been burned enough by news in the past though that I'd rather have made less than lost most...

How about that Oz$ ?? Look'in ripe ....turn'in juicy....the wind is a blow'in the branches and they be a shak'in....is fruit prepared to fall????

Hey everyone.. so it seems that i have 2 losses and thats not good. I must say each time i traded i did not follow rules all the time. I wanted to trade.. other than that it seems the system puts in trades maybe once every two weeks or so.. but it works. i tried to change it a little so maybe i could catch moves every day and well.. it does not work that way. So i will wait for a perfect setup and then post in here. That one better be a win

Does that include the 10 days carry trade interest rate?
