How often does something like this happen? I usually just check the calendar on this site. Thanks, DD

USD/JPY Discussion

I don't know if I understand what just happened to this pair. I looked at the calendar and didn't see anything relative to this pair. What just happened? Why the spike all the sudden? Sorry, I know it is probably a stupid question. I'm fairly new to ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Hello, I'm so glad I ran into this thread on ForexFactory.com. I'm very interested in the Intraday Scalping strategy discussed on page 27 of the pdf. I've been searching for more info on this, but I have not found any. I have been practicing this ...

haha... well, that should do it. Big move there... wasn't expecting that, but yet another win for me. Makes 5 in a row now. Could have got alot more on that one, but it works.

If it breaks 1.4350 then maybe... I personally would use 1.4360 for good measure. Don't forget about the pivot point at 1.4374. I have a buy stop placed at 1.4360... we'll see if that gets filled. Not taking it all the way to 1.4400 because I want ...

Yea, and I'm practicing money management a little. I had a problem thinking I needed to trade 1 lot every time because I wanted that 10 dollars per pip. Totally not necessary to do so.

Argh!... Now I'm doing well... DEMO of course — Well, all of you have seen my posts about how I went live this week. I quit and went back to demo. First 4 trades in demo all winners... 14pips, 16pips, 21pips, and 15pips all in a row. Figures. ...

That would have been my entire capital I opened with. 3000 to me would have been devastating. Luckily I kept it to just a 1/3... still bad though. Not expected at all. apparently I have lots more to learn than I thought.

Can't be as bad as me. i lost over $1,000 in less than a week. I'm done!

Hmm... mine doesn't come out to be 1.4444

Are my Fibs right? — I'm not sure I'm drawing these right. I'm drawing from today's low to today's high. On the low I have 1.4278 and high I have 1.4541. This puts 50% around 1.4410 or so. Does that sound right? BTW - I had my broker freeze my ...

Yea, i guess it is back to demo for me. I deposited $3000 to go live with. I'm down to 19xx. Lost a little over a 1/3. it went quick... way to quick. Less than a week. My SL's were just way too huge. Not sure if I will ever go live again or not ...

damnit damnit damnit... just got stopped out again. I think I'm done... going live was not a good idea

I think I need to learn to scalp. These long runs just aren't working for me. Is scalping difficult?

EURUSD

Where are you getting these numbers? I'm trying to understand.... Levels to watch : 1.4377 if break TP 1.4315 1.4460 If Break TP 1.4520

EURUSD

... and yet this was another losing trade. what the hell. It broke 1.4400, so I thought I was good to go.

EURUSD

Ok, tell me if this was a smart move. I'm playing with a small order. I placed a sell stop at 1.4392 thinking that if it got past the psych at 1.4400, it would continue to fall. So I place the sell stop at 1.4392. My SL and TP at 15 out. Does this ...

I'm losing it by having to large a stop loss I think. They've been set around 200 pips. I've tried 20 pips too, and those get stopped and then of course shortly after the stop, it heads in the other direction where I would have profited.

EURUSD

Guys, I'm so lost here. Since going live on Monday I've lost 1/3 of my capital. I don't know if this week is just different than others or what. I've seen potential to make a lot of pips, but I've obviously been on the other side. I've tried looking ...

I thought this thread was to help people. Anyway, I'm assuming those are just trend lines, but I can draw trend lines all day long and they would not have looked like this.
