Accumulating some positions to short. I think this may be the cap for the bull run. Very structured.

I feel fairly safe on this short. If this fails I'm going to rip my hair out.

Looks like same setup as before. Edit: Didn't work either. Flat for now.

I accidentally doubled my lots on my last trade and it ate up the profit from my first one tonight. Wonder how that happened.

I wouldn't pay any attention to any moving average or fibonacci lines if I were you. They're just distractions from price action.

Thanks. Hope he got out of that on time, there was only a brief moment to catch it and after that was a second retest. I don't trust those kinds of structures in this environment though. Edit: Long pending. Not the best setup in the world but I ...

I'm sorry this is going to sound stupid but what do you mean DB? Edit: There it goes. Glad I set a conservative take profit lol.

Not necessarily. Had the potential to go north like it has all day long. Fake breakout and reversal pattern however revealed intent. Was very wary to short this pair but evidence was right there so took a calculated risk on it.

Likewise. Just closed my short. They did try pretty hard to scare me out of it twice lol.

So knowing where orders are located on a chart and taking advantage of that isn't a valid tool? I read up a little on your post history before today, I don't think your methodology is that far removed from the same thing some people do. Not all of ...

Is it possible to change a non-MT4 subaccount to an MT4 subaccount? Debating whether or not to just apply for a new account after not having used Oanda for years because I have several non-MT4 subaccounts which is a little annoying since they cannot ...

Well, first of all I just want you to know straight up I'm not a profitable trader yet. More or less break even...I guess you can follow my trade explorer over time, it's a new one as I took about a 2 year hiatus as there were some domestic ...

I lost a whole account once of $100 when I first started out with indis and crap like that. After, I lost around 25-30% of two $1,000 accounts over a period of 3 or 4 months and called it quits for a while. I had another account after that which was ...

I am not afraid of drawdown. I simply do not tolerate it and close losers quickly. Accepting 80% drawdown means you were not that far from a margin call. What makes the future any different? What's the cutoff? 90% drawdown to margin call? 99%? ...

Fibs are trash. So is every other indicator. Save yourself a few years of confusion and throw all your indicators in the garbage. I draw my support and resistance enough that it covers the relatively close highs and lows that define it. It does not ...

Dated March 1, 2017. Please, stop. Don't give me excuses, it's insulting to my intelligence. No profitable trader has a drawdown of 80%.
