Mine does it too, and actually more like 3 minutes. If it wasn't for the fact that I like everything else about my broker, yeah... this can be pretty aggravating at times.

I closed when the spread was about 5 or 6. That's much higher than I normally like to go, but I was afraid to wait any longer (like you say, it MIGHT head back up).

Yeah, unfortunately my open short had been underwater for awhile so I didn't do as well on the huge move as I could have. But FORTUNATELY we DID get the huge move, so since I went from a big negative to around a 40-pip gain a few seconds later... ...

Well, I've got a small-size short that's been underwater for awhile now, and I've so far resisted the temptation to close it.... and that's because I'm confident price is coming back down. Of course I could turn out to be wrong and wind up losing ...

Phew! Had me worried there for a minute.
But as for how long to keep your shorts open, I can't say... but it's just my opinion (like several others here) that this is gonna go much further down over the coming days.EURUSD

Just speaking for myself, and NOT taking sides in any of these arguments that sometimes go on around here, I'll just say I don't think you've got anything to prove. You've done more than most to be open about your trades and trading style, and I ...

Way back when, like in about 1st or 2nd grade, my teacher asked us the classic question: "Would you like it if someone gave you a penny, and then tomorrow took that one penny and gave you two pennies instead. Then the next day they'll double it ...

I've got a EUR/USD short that's further underwater than yours, and I'm just gonna hold it. Like many others here, I strongly suspect EUR is gonna go much further down (even though I was obviously wrong on the timing of my current short
).EURUSD

A few weeks ago, in the middle of a strong EUR/USD drop, someone on here (who was obviously long the pair) wrote something really hilarious, like this: "Oh my Euro! My poor Euro!!!

This is off-topic, but... I've tried to find a video, ANY video, where someone happened to be live-streaming that crash in real-time, as it happened. I've yet to find one. I just think it would be fascinating to watch... in a morbid kind of way, of ...

I don't think I'm all that "mentally strong" yet, but yeah.... that's what I do. I almost never use a small S/L, but I DO use an "emergency" one. Yeah, like 50 pips usually. I may never have considered that had it not been for what the crazy Swiss ...
