      It ran out gas at 61.8% - someone give it a push. — It seems to have stopped right at the 61.8% Fibonacci and fallen asleep, so I've taken my profit to free up margin for more gold.

      Re-retesting 0.9800 — Oil and natural gas are rising, so barring something out of the FOMC or BoC speeches this afternoon it's back to 0.9800. I'm targetting 0.9820, 78.6% retracement from Monday's low and the bottom of the cloud on the 1hr ...

      Yes, but what's annoying is I knew that always happens, yet I set stops out of force of habit. sigh A few seconds before the announcement and I saw the upward pressure build I knew my stops were going to trigger but I couldn't cancel them in time. ...

      I shorted but my stop triggered ...which I should have known would happen. Sometimes I think missing profit when you are right but screw it up is worse than losing money from being wrong.

      After some much needed sleep, I realized that didn't make any sense -- I couldn't possibly make $25k on a $25k currency trade. I've only traded USD/CAD and AUD/CAD which yields P&L in CAD and it never occurred to me that my P&L for JPY/CAD would be ...

      Minde: I normally trade lots of 25k so they are processed instantaneously, and since most pairs are close to 1:1 that's more-or-less $25,000, but 25k yen pairs is 80:1, the equivalent of a $2,000,000 trade in USD/CAD even though the purchase is ...

      78% retracement and still falling? Did the world suddenly forget that an hour ago 10 trillion Yen were created? It's things like this that make me lose money -- I stay in too long when what I see is contrary to logic. (Unless someone has a good ...

      Whoever said I should stop trading until next week because I'll get greedy was right. I put "normal-sized" trades on USD/JPY and CAD/JPY and "letting it ride", yet even with this accidental windfall I still have to earn a living and I've just given ...

      Two days ago I accidentally bought futures I meant to short (fortunately, I only took a minor loss) so I'm well aware that I could just as easily have lost literally everything. My most important rule has always been to never trade when tired, but ...

      Bear pair. — That was a nice, clean 400 pip bounce today (almost a perfect 23.6% Fibonacci retracement from Monday's high to today's low), but USD/CAD closed the day session below the low of the old horizontal channel, and with oil, nat. gas, ...

      retesting 0.9800 — USD/CAD bounced at 0.98060/70, exited the channel, peaked at 0.98320, then re-entered the channel. Barring significant jobless and home sales data, I think it will retest 0.9800 before we see a strong directional indicator. ...

      Bottom of range broken. — USD/CAD broke below the low of the horizontal trading range, oil and natural gas is up, its in a three-day downward channel inside a two-week downward trend, and we're approaching the beginning of the seasonal low for ...
