Haha nah, it doesn't make me feel better I woulda rathered you got double the profit obviously, but I can totally relate to that, I do the same - exiting prematurely when real money is at stake Fight Club is one of my favorite movies too

Grats on that trade! I took the long on GU and exited when price stalled at the RN. EU was heading towards the resistance cluster (2900+DP) because it was unobstructed before that, but it also stalled at some point and if I were in that trade, I ...

I know what you mean all too well. The second I decide to go against the rules I end up being stopped out. Yeah that's what I was wondering too, pivots are super wide on most pairs (that I look at, at least), and normally when they are ...

Genesis Matrix Trading

No, no you got me all wrong I'm aware of the damage trading during those events can cause to my account so I just avoid doing that, reason why I want to decipher such news is because they set a longer term direction for the market, and also ...

I'm left kind of confused after everything I heard and saw the way the market reacted. A tapering of QE is dollar bullish because... it means the economy is doing better? But then he said they're considering it only if data keeps improving, which ...

Genesis Matrix Trading

Yep, it's what I'm planning on doing... If this thing works the same as NFP, where increase in payroll pushes the dollar up only for price to close as low as it used to be before the data, 2 hours after it has come out, I'd hate to be on the short ...

Genesis Matrix Trading

Could have been bad

Genesis Matrix Trading

So I was right? Judging by the drop I think I was. Traders selling USD off out of fear that QE gets tapered? Which, as they reiterated several times now won't be happening yet, because U.S economy is still weak. I'm staying out because my broker ...

There is no reason the eur should be rising right now, right? Could this be a "buy the rumour; sell the fact" scenario according to you guys? I really suck at analysing fundamentals...

Genesis Matrix Trading

Yeah I'm barely breathing after 2 cups of coffee and a redbull, would hate to find out what it would be if I weren't on that

Genesis Matrix Trading

eu seems like it is waiting for bernanke... I feel bad for having missed good setups on EJ and EA this morning around LO, I'm having trouble sleeping so I'm like a zombie between FF open and the first 2 hours of LO and can't react fast enough to the ...

Genesis Matrix Trading

I'm looking at the pairs I trade, big moves tend to happen at FF open or even 1h before that... They stop at LO/2h past LO Also LOL dat gap on chf pairs...

Genesis Matrix Trading

I wasn't lying though, boj really did keep policy unchanged haha. By the way, don't want to post a chart because it's not to do with genesis, but GU daily is trying to break the 61.8 fibo retracement of the previous uptrend... So I guess it's ...

Genesis Matrix Trading

Yeah, saw that like 5 minutes after my post, was concentrating on checking htf ej and gu, ops .

Genesis Matrix Trading

Woops, EJ broke the 90 days high! BOJ policy unchanged, however improvement noted. Oh, struggling with 133.00 though.

Genesis Matrix Trading

Congrats! And yeah, shoulda woulda coulda... I'm getting there, slowly soon I'll have built enough profit not to care about SL anymore, and that's slowly making me more and more confident.

Genesis Matrix Trading

Shorted EU right below DP until atr low, closed a little prematurely, at 2850 again... Shit at least this time I held onto it longer I'm good for 14 pips... Could have been 24...

Genesis Matrix Trading

That actually sounds like a great idea Thanks, will do!

Genesis Matrix Trading

Yeah, I did see that answer coming I don't do it often either, just that when I see an unobstructed path to the next S or R, a cheap SL and some momentum it feels okay to go CT.

Genesis Matrix Trading

Bear in mind any EU long is CT. A bounce off 2900 would mean a LL on h4.
