So your original short was money but your bar by bar analysis spooked you out of the trade and got you chopped up...nice, at least the broker is happy.
you are right....but i learn't a lot in this and at this stage i am happy about that. the lesson learn't is that do not trade any one strategy in isolation-i did not recognise that all the trades i made were in a range
LESSONS FROM TODAYS TRADING markets do not make big moves without preparation; this is very important to understand....spike and fast moves do not happen often and if you miss one of them it is alright: better to catch a lot of small fish than expect the big one,which rarely comes also if you risk 2-3 pips expect 5-8 pips not 15-50 pips. have to work for your profit Be aware of support and resistances and range conditions use tight stops. is better than big stops if triggered re evaluate the market
