  1. 105.50 was the congestion area from two week ago. So could be important but I have no idea. All I know is no more shorting until we are below 104. And the only thing that might save the dollar is a super jobs report on Friday but even then Euros and Brits are already sounding hawkish so this nation of consumers is pretty much f&^%ed is the ass thank to big Ben. It will be fascinating to see how we get out of this mess. Have a good day everyone!

    I don't like being in a losing position when day trading, so i prefer v tight stops.

    I'll go in multiple times if i think the trade is right.

    The question is, am i better off having a wider stop and being stopped out once rather than going in many times and being stopped out many times? This bugs me every day.

    Any thoughts?

  7. A zen master once told me don't get in the trade until you know it's right and don't get out until you know it is wrong. Or was that Yoggi Berra:confused:

    I would have to accept more risk (i.e. a wider stop loss) to know if i'm definitely wrong.

    A series of v small losses, i seem to be ok with. One large loss annoys me no end. Making back a large loss isn't easy, whereas it certainly feels easier to make back a small loss.

    Appreciate further discussion.
