A martingale strategy with random entry is a losing strategy but it would still outperform most retails as it would lead to ruin more slowly. Except that, what if you set it up such that it statistically goes bust in five years and you do it across ...

Martingales, Anti-Martingales, etc.

Some of the replies seem to imply that moving the price with large market orders is a bad thing (you get "slippage"?!); for frag's sake! That's the core of trading! If you are that big it becomes easier to make money. With billions you can absorb ...

Will $1 billion units per trade move EUR/USD?

Booked +25% on account, a very good day. I was long in Asia session and short in London. Still have a small short on, TP 1.2172

On a curious note, I closed a long at 1.22160 which has been a top for the past five minutes about. It doesn't compensate the painful memories of cutting losing positions right before reversal.

I believe Ata is right. We are in a correction of some kind and not in an impulsive wave.

Closed shorts and long 1.2210. Not entirely convinced. SL tight. PS Position is 7% of the account.

Slept only a couple of hours. Partly paid off. Cut half my 1.2250 short [refilled at early Asia up thrust that didn't take out the high] for 30 PiPs. Other half still up expecting lower low 1.2200 area test in next hour or so. [I reconsidered ...

I hedged my short 8 hours ago. Went net short 1.2250 medium heavy and reduced it 1.2230 A new high above 1.2251x would be cause for concern for short hypothesis. But I think we'll hit 1.2200 area before any challenge up. That's the critical area. ...

I am not yet positioned short as I'd like. We should go up again.

On Friday I posted the above. Price went above my target by a couple of PiPs and I didn't go all in (perfectionism). Instead rode a medium size short, closed yesterday [Friday]. Today in Asia start I didn't short expecting a better, higher, short in ...

Looking for a short entry around 1.216x-1.217x Don't believe the current low is the bottom yet.

...Closed for small profit. That's the thing with my premature short and bad position increases. Even though I may be right about the down direction I don't have a good position so I have to get out. Taking a break. Waiting to see if it does a ...

Short Average price 1.22 Not happy how I handled the increases. Missed the top.

EURUSD only

Small short 1.2184 to be increased if it goes higher. TP around 1.216x I don't recognize the current low as final.

Damn! Looks like the market didn't wait for me to get my beauty sleep before going down. Waiting. Don't see a bottom yet.

During Asia session it will go up without challenging Friday's highs. In London session it will go lower to 1.22 - 1.2175 then up to new highs.

EURUSD only

Come on break. I need a new high to go all in short.

EURUSD only

If it reaches 1.2266 without breaking it, in the next 30 minutes, I go all in short. PS Actually I am currently running a partially hedged short, so if it goes there, I'll go short > 100%

...and they keep pushing back... I'm guessing it could drop below 1.2230 before retracing up half way. By then it will be sufficiently uncertain for most whether it's down or up.

IMO I wasn't the only one expecting a down, and the resistance is the boys who weren't positioned long, pushing back.
