    Good trading to you, Victor. Let me ask you - why do you add to losing positions?

    How would you make use the usbl margin 50.797 (as a safty factor)?

    Do you usually have a stop loss target? How about this particular trade?

    Good luck!
    :p

    I warned him this could happen. Avaraging wouldnt help...stop is a must...
    In the end of the day, we all make mistakes, and we all should learn - even those who are long time trading. Victor, you were holding 16 lots - its 1.6 mio position with 60k acc - it is suiside. You were about 26% unrealised loss ...way too risky, my friend, taking in account that you made less with this aproach till now. I hope you'll get good retracement to cut losses. There is good chance euro to retrace. I belive we can get range of 1.12-1.16 (roughly). So I hope you wont get big loss.
    Good Luck, everyone.

  10. If he posts, or just disappears.

    According to his system, I'm guessing he's short far more than 17 by now -- maybe 30 or more??? Maybe he's fully leveraged??? Is this a real account w. $50,000 or just play? I hope for his sake it's not real.
