Yep, I've done that plenty of times. It seems to happen most often when the initial move is the opposite of what I expected. Not to the point it hits a SL, but just going the wrong way at first. Then it starts to come back... slowly, grudgingly. ...

There's some great advice in there. For me, the biggest mistake has been failing to get out of trades early (with a small loss) before they get out of hand. Psychologically, that's a big one. "Yeah, I know I have this 10-pip SL here, but I'm just ...

I can just see her, like a Roman emperor (Little Boots?) standing there grinning, holding her thumb out horizontally, ever so slightly moving it first up a little, then down a little.... back and forth as he laughs hysterically watching the charts ...

Hi, I'm new to this, so take this with a big grain of salt. But so far I'm basing my trade size on a percentage of my account size. Like this: if I'm trading the right size, a movement of 10 pips amounts to about 2% of my account size. So if my ...

Ah! Yeah, okay. That's the one where they had the timing of the statement listed as "tentative"... I just wasn't paying attention when it actually happened. (EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to say, that was directed to Shellsnail)

Yeah thanks (and Navk too).... but it just seemed weird it was so big and almost instantaneous, despite NOT being at any obvious "hit" point. Then again, I'm new to this (a few months) so a LOT of things still surprise me.

Yeah, for a long time I've been skeptical (actually cynical most of the time) regarding motives of ANY powerful economic individuals/institutions. But only since starting to follow Forex has it become so obvious there's often a LOT of game-playing ...
$40 million says the euro will keep cratering
- Ratmach commented Mar 9, 2015
Okay, I've been reading some of your posts, and meaning to comment. While I agree with you about Republicans and their agenda, I DON'T really agree that Dems are much better. A few are, sure, but not for the most part (and BTW, I'm a lifelong Dem ...

Yeah, before I even got to your comment I was thinking... somebody needs to punch these idiots right in the face!
Swiss finance minister wants new EUR/CHF floor
- Ratmach commented Feb 20, 2015
Wasn't something kinda like this done way back in the early 60s? During the Cuban Missile Crisis, supposedly Kruschev sent Kennedy a message asking for a deal. But before Kennedy could respond, Kruschev's generals convinced him to withdraw that, and ...

Well, in my case it was being a newbie and lucky.
Because so far I've just been trading the 2 or 3 most common pairs while I'm learning, and hadn't yet touched CHF. But like you, even though I wasn't in anything directly CHF, what I WAS in ...FXCM to Stop Trading Some Currencies After Swiss Franc Losses

Guys, guys! In the immortal words of Rodney King... can't we all just get along? (Sorry, but as an American among all you Europeans/Brits, I feel it's my duty to say something stupid.)
EU Commission to propose 6 month extension for Greece - sources
- Ratmach commented Feb 5, 2015
Oh yeah, I know. That's why I've started off with really small trades... really small profits, but also really small losses. The intent (I'm sure like most people) is to slowly increase trade size as account size (hopefully) increases. I'm nowhere ...
Euro battles through 1.1450, runs stops
- Ratmach commented Feb 5, 2015
I don't know how many here scalp, but I have a weird question: Does it ever make you feel a little... I don't know, I guess "guilty" is the word. Not really in a moral sense, but... well let me explain. I might do a little long trade for maybe just ...
