TJ, staying out means missing out, but it also means not losing if you cannot SEE a trade. Nice shorts could have been had between yesterday and today. I don't think the folks that are commenting are trolls, I think they are skeptical of your positive %, you have to admit it is a wee bit, well how should I say it, to good to be true. Anyway I think you need to get rid of your Long EUR/USD bias, it will help you expand your trading. The Ever Gittin Back In And Out VIPER
an account image with some executed trades could silence the skeptics but then, again, it might not because some skeptics are always skeptics.
For the experts who trade e/u: what is the likelyhood that this evening session would see the pair move beyond 1.4120 area?
This is a Journal. No matter how elaborate the fabrication is, there is a responsibility to post your closing orders before you post new orders. Following today's action, this guy has been long all day and added to his losing position. But he posts like he's not in a position at all now. Just this fact alone is enough to get this thread moved to Chit Chat where it belongs.
How about 70% that it moves to 4050-4102 area, especially if the Geeks keep rioting. Bring on the riots Baby, bring it on. The Ever Loving Not Having To Find Shares To Borrow VIPER But then again I am prolly wrong.
e/u at 7:25PM. Would this bear-charge break today's low? Update: seven minutes later... they were repelled. Let us see if they will try again. Asia typically starts at 8PM.
http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=221311&perpage=6&pagenumber=26 Now that several hours have passed since the 1:23PM (time of above post) and now that I have the benefit of the hindsight, should I have followed what the models told me at the time, or should I have followed what came out from a farter who polluted my thread? The farter may now be doing something humans do such as shitting, snoring or even talking about this thread somewhere, but he surely would not be able to move the clock back in the chart so I could do what the models told me to do at the time.
Here is your trade, in YOUR OWN WORDS. I never believe your entry points, but ignoring that, it is clear you have entered a half position somewhere near 1.4284 and added presumably to a full position at somewhere near 1.4274 ( easily filled ). Since then, your only Journal entry was to ADD more long position at a lower price. So by my calculation, you are down approximately 160 pips and showing no ability to manage that position. I'm not making this up, its in your JOURNAL. The 160 pips is on the first trade, not even considering the next long idea you posted. Where the fuck do you come off complaining about ANYONE when your Journal clearly has broken down entirely ??? And how can this even be the case, UNLESS the entire exercise is fabricated. Because if these trades are real, it would be extremely easy to document the entries ( with size ) and exits on this many trades in one security. Now you had better explain that -160 pips trade, or I'll get you booted out of Journals. Understand ? I don't like frauds, and the evidance is now overwhelming against you. And it is truly amazing that you can't see it. Have a nice day. I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to invent a few new winning trades today.
Buddy, your Journal meets no standard for being called a Journal. The entry prices are highly suspectful, your trades are incomplete, and there is no reasoning given for any of your trades. In fact, I looked back at the first few "trades" you made, and the clues are there already. For example, you post that yoi are "thinking" about going long, then your next post you are saying +100 pips on that long. You have some explaining to do on yesterdays trades. If you fail to do so, I will take this to the Administrators because at this point you are clearly appear to be a fraud. Of course, you need merely post the account statement or similar which we can cross reference to your posts. I will then apologize for my mistake. But I do think pigs will be flying outside before evidance of this $100 account will ever be found.
