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
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."
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
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
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
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.
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
well that was pretty easy picked up some long aud.usd and some short eur.aud gotta be there sitting waiting for it
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.
