Yes right. What you say is interesting to me. A few people actually recommended to me trying to trade some index like Dax instead of the GBP/USD but then another few said it wouldn't make a difference and advices again. So i am running in circles ...

So, every person like me stopped out. And down it goes again image

Thanks. Yes but it looks to me that only makes sense if you have big goals on your trades. Personally, I would be more comfortable trading as little as possible and as quickly as possible and either won x% or lost x%. I used to trade like that in ...

Yes, you got that right.

Sry. Replace "claims" with "forecasts" Yes i know it's a public forum that's why i asked why you do this.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Well i tried splitting the risk to say give me 4 x 0,50% entries instead but then i will end up losing 4 trades in a row and so still end up at -2% the day

Why don't you people set a trade explorer instead of making all these claims all day long if/where/when?

You charts look like it's already xmas. Wtf...

I am -20 Pips (-2%) for today like almost every morning, having risked my willing allowed dose for today :/ image

Yes. I didn’t mean using the full average daily range distance as a stop loss but a part of it measured of x last bars/candles rather than statically forcing every stop to sit at x number of points/pips distance. I don’t like trading multiple forex ...

Does anyone use the ATR/ADR to measure the stop loss distance? I so far always worked with some rather fixed values determined in Pips/Points but it looks to me that it's actually not a smart way of protection because it totally ignores current ...

I broadly agree with you. I'm just trying to understand if there's a way to protect myself from such unexpected spikes. I take care of the news, at least all the red flagged once you can find on the calendars. However at times i see large spikes ...

Well the time frame doesn’t really matter. You trade price at time. I speak about how to protect from large unexpected price moves. Even while swing trading and having factored in way larger stops, say -100 Pips, such increase in volatility in no ...

i speak about last Wed, 28/09/22. On my chart GMT+2 at 13:00 I get a 130 Pips M1 bar. Not sure what the entire daily range has been. I am not sure how to protect from these unexpected moves. I checked the calendar page and I couldn’t even found one ...

I'm talking about last Wednesday as you can see from the timeline of my posted chart image.

Yes, because trading the asian session is a lot more safe lol. I remember. "Pound Sterling in Asian 'Flash Crash', Record Low Against Dollar, Down 2% Against Euro".

Crazy moves. How do you protect from such. Having stop losses of -1000 Pips every time? image

What do you consider as „broken“? Is it when you see a H1 candle closed above/below some of the areas you drawn? Do you only trade GBP/USD?

Try going into a supermarket and buy some bananas with your "Pips"
