short eur/short usd

  1. it aint pretty

    wouldn't it be nice if it was

    very depressing to see your account balance back there where it was four days ago, especially after working so hard to get it to a new account high

    at anyrate, I need to pick up some long gbp.usd and some short usd.cad before I can move on with this death march of short eur

  2. I'm seriously thinking about looking for a new market

    If you had been doing what I am doing now, three years ago, you would have made a fortune

    so I am doing it right, just three years late

    thing is, I like forex

    it was very good to me in 2012

    but I am starting to get that wandering eye

    I already went through this one time, trading es in 2000, after all the easy money had been made

  3. the thing about NZD

    in the afternoon, the spread becomes just unreasonable

    you can't get in, you can't get out

  4. if I ever get out of this trade alive

    I am just going to go raise chickens

    Thank G-d I didn't add to my winners

    Because they act like you are their friend as long as you are making money

    but they turn on you if you start losing

    I tell ya

    You can't trust anybody in this business

  5. bout ready to add to some of my losers

    just to show them who is the boss

    Someone needs to let them know, they can't keep treating me this way, and get away with it

    A little law and order

    That's what this town needs

    And I guess I am the Sheriff

  6. like the man said

    that short eur.aud is the one you have to look out for

    scalped a little

    sold some at 2681 and covered at 2672

    but all that did was ease the pain

    and the computer is fixated on FIFO

    so it thinks I took a loss

  7. actually, I scalped on just about everything, and picked up a quick 10 pips on 5 out of 6

    that usd.cad is about worthless

  8. ah, this trading is nothing but constant aggravation

    20 million posts on ET

    and all they talk about is how to take a loss

    nobody ever talks about how to take a profit

    it is universally agreed that if you never take a loss, you will go broke

    but nobody wants to admit that if you never take a profit, eventually you will be rich

  9. what a horrible day it has been for me

    guys who are just simply short eur.usd are making out just fine, as a matter of fact, they are doing swimmingly well

    I am use to these days when I was spread, and both sides were moving against you

    but this directional is making me lose my mind

    short eur

    short usd

    only a sadistic diabolical pervert could have designed a better trade for me

    yesterday I lost a weeks worth of profits

    today I'm losing a months worth of profits

    and I am really small, that's the only good thing, I still have a lot of dry powder

  10. I've about had it with this directional trading

    that's a young man's game

    thinking you can guess better than someone else

    Sunday night, I'm going back to spreading

    not sure how I will do it

    but this averaging down on directional is a sure fire way to destruction

    Like the man said, "The old guys you still see around are almost always spreaders."
