might be a dumb question but asking anyways - in a market which often takes hours to move 30 pips and at best maybe 100 in a full 24 hour period what’s the use of a stop 200 pips away? I could see if you place the trade(s) first few days of a month ...

Small short couple hours ago at 2120 thinking some more retrace at the open now not feeling so hot about it sitting at breakeven was thinking the last 90 minutes or so would give a quick pullback before next move up. Thinking I missed out closing ...

Do you know of an online resource instructing on use of the common analysis tools from most platforms? Some I know and many I don't. Have tried googling some of them and find more instruction on what they are but not so much on how to actually ...

Well my long from this morning @ 2075 managed to hang on. Now to close or not to close. This is always where I go wrong....watching unrealized gains melt away pip by pip holding out for that bounce back up or drop back down or whatever direction my ...

Got crushed this week and looking back on the charts probably one of the best repeats setups seen in a while. Just took a small short at 2071 so 20 above. Will hold this one through the weekend unless it shows some good profits by end of day. Happy ...

I'm always curious at the non even numbers. Like why 1947 and not 1950 or 1945? Guessing maybe similar to stop where if the low was 1945 putting a stop at 1942 makes most sense? On the 4 hr I am seeing a top of 1946 from 3/22 @ 12pm central. Is that ...

the epitome of my trading experience over the years. Even worse is not just taking good pips off the chart when I have them and sitting on side waiting for next one. For every “good” trade I have closed on a stop I could have manually closed for ...
