Yeah, could be true. But why so slow?... No retrace, just boring. Why ATR is so low? What's going on with the currency market? Only USD/JPY is fine. My retrace trades on AUD/USD, EUR/USD and GBP/USD finally pay off but hell...I sit here now for ...

Took part profits on AUD/USD and EUR/USD, GBP/USD close. +4, looks ugly and boring. Strategy could be to slowly rebuy the shorts. They like to do that in slow markets. That would mean GBP/USD will creep up more from here, may be additional 5 pips or ...

Ummm...no. Will not work. Not this time. The carry traders have already 4.5% in their back, that means more than 600 pips from current high - and that is the most possible conservative assumption. Ceiling on such an environment is burning money- ask ...

The problem with the yen is, there is just no justify anymore for a stronger yen. And the market knows that. The only one who is supporting the yen is the BOJ selling US-Dollars against USD/JPY. BOJ is in a huge trap for years already. Now the trap ...

I sold everything few minutes before with a small profit. I don't like to hold longs on EUR/USD over weekend. I pay 2 days roll over this friday (about 1.8 pips) and I'm not willed to pay that. I re-enter on monday. I think we will not see the 1.07 ...

Sold 4 times of my normal position at 1.0700, so 5 times left from normal position size( long from 1.06835). Let's see of friday is giving us another up leg. I buy again from 1.0683 again but not so much anymore if it comes down again. I don't ...

That happens sometimes due to liquidity fills, manipulation (but that is very rare in that occurance, cost a hell of money) or sometimes expectations are shifting. That means at a certain poin bad news for USD can still be bad news for EUR. Always ...

Reason for USD Rush (GBP/USD drop) was speculation on interest rate cut. After news and no change of interest rate they dropped their positions with +/-0. Was a gamble. Their avg. was about 1.2820 I guess. I played for interest rate stable. Earned ...

I cannot see your attachment but I know probably already the result: in the other 20% your avg. loss will be -140 pips, correct? That would fit R:R of 1:1. So: 80% of the time = 35 pips 20% if not hit: = -140 pips equals R:R of 1:1. Quote Yoriz: ...
