Stop at breakeven, testing support.

Doji on the 4 hour, if it doesn't go back up anyway.

Scalping, waiting for support to break......still.....

I almost got in short at the third red candle on the spike. I didn't have enough confidence, why not?

Broken trendline.

I think my mistake is not taking partial profits. I was letting the trades run. Exit is just as important as entry.

What to do about spikes there has got to be a better way to protect from them. The loss is small but now my position is a lot smaller and if I wasn't stopped out, it is still falling.

Took out my whole trade. Minor loss. Got back in with a smaller position. Kind o a bull flag, when will the rubber band snap back down? Took a big chunk of the second one too (stops were at breakeven). Not adding to it, missed the move because the ...

Stop hunt. Victim.

Tricky here, stopped out, got back in, email woke me up from a nap for it.

Instead of a stop I put a sell entry at support double the original long size, so it should cancel the previous long and hopefully pick up the pips on a spike if that happens. Does this cost less pips in spread? I still don't understand spread and ...

The 4 hours shows best. If I simply had a tight stop below the trendline I would have taken a small loss and not tied up the margin for so long.

Analyzing bad trade. What to do. It isn't a large position, and so far I plan on just waiting it out. It just broke the trend line meaning bullish. Why did I ever get stuck in this trade to begin with is what I need to contemplate. I knew that it ...

Added a small amount. Don't you hate when it goes in your favor but you cant push the keys fast enough? I saw this head and shoulders pattern and almost got in but had to load charts and missed the spike down and didn't get in at the break. A few ...

Stops are less risky, looking for more shorts. Support needs to break.

Swings and scalps

This one has 500 pips to go if I really let it run. Maybe more. Likely it will bounce around a lot and I will end up scalping it but I want to leave at least part of it to see if it can hit 500. Still has upside potential too though but at least it ...

Stoploss is now at breakeven. I have a lot of scratch trades. More so than loosers. That perhaps is part of my edge. My loosers are small too. I am hoping I can hold many of my positions over the next week, with adjustments as price develops.

stopped out

Stop is now at breakeven if it is indecisive I am out I don't have to tatke the trade

Added a smaller short this time since it is the second test. I try to reduce risk when there is a reduction in probability.
