short eur/short usd

Discussion in 'Forex' started by oldtime, Jan 15, 2013.

  1. the long gbp.usd got hit at 1/16 2:36 at 6038

    so I'm still trying to get short some eur.gbp and some usd.cad

    as it stands now my limits are about 20 pips away

    I'll re adjust if I don't get hit today

  2. what they call "The Great British Pound" I call the "goddamned british pound"

    In the last year, I have never had one good big profitable trade off it

    never got hurt really bad

    but just always on the wrong side

    and it is a constant aggravation

    both gbp.usd and eur.gbp

    it's a good chopper, till you get it on, then suddenly it decides to trend, always against me

    and that is why, although I am a very agreeable man, especially when it comes to women, I always find fault with English women's legs

    you don't like it? Get your Pound together and start behaving like everybody else.

    Sometimes I think they are just sitting there in Buckingham Palace sipping their tea saying, "It's only been a couple of hundred years. Let's see how your little "experiment" works out. Keep in mind young boy, that's why they call it "The Great British Pound."

    so that means, all I am waiting on is some short eur.gbp

  4. my sell limit is way up there at 8310

    doubt it will get hit today

    then I'll have to chase

    but I'll have the same position that made me so much money on again

    only this time, everything was put on at some kind of extreme instead of all at the same time

    then I have to start adding to winners and losers

    oh well, at the moment, it beats raising chickens

  5. ok, I finally got hit on my short eur.gbp at 8310

    now what?

    I'm 1:1:1:1:1 1:1

    add to winners? That is what worked out for me in the dream (epecially in eur)

    or add to losers? That is what worked out for me in 2012

    But this is 2013

    I kind of like this 1:1:1:1:1:1

    that is what worked for me last time

  6. ok, so I got all in, then got flat again

    profits too good to pass up on

    are you starting to see the pattern?

    A long term trade to me, is a losing trade

    If it's a winner I get the hell out of there like a scared chicken

    If It's a loser I pretend I am a thoughtful trader with a strategy

    and stay in for weeks

  7. I'm running the same positions over in my paper account, but they add a lot more agressively, and trim down , but never get flat, and that is also doing well.

  8. better you should be hard on yourself, and ultra critical, than let the market decide it for you

    I think this is a position you can hold, for a year or so

    despite what they say on tv about a strong dollar and a strong euro

    you always know where you stand, simple plan, easy to remember

    short usd

    short eur

    would have been a hell of a lot easier a few years ago

    maybe I should just get long

    or maybe I should just go find another market

    all the easy money over here has been made

  10. contra

    contra

    my immediate thought to that data is long EUR/AUD and maybe short AUD/NZD hoping for a pullback to 0520/0500 AUD/USD before getting long again or just keep waiting for the topside breakout if we get a strong risk on force.

    but im still getting back into the game... still choosing yen and cross/yen trading on spot for the time being.
