Interesting idea city. What is your max risk at the moment by the way - 20?

Sorry to hear that, it is frustrating to see a good trade stop out like that. I might give up live trading until things settle down. I'm getting slaughtered these days! I'm trying hard but just don't have the experience to ride these violent swings.

Nice trade City, did it stop you out or are you b/e and running? wow, 100 pips and counting.

Another one here Sho. What do think the story is here please? Is this the wrong time of day to trade? - perhaps short covering got me. Looked like a real nice setup and I didn't see any bullish momentum on the correction. Went short on the close of ...

Sho, if you're watching, was anything wrong with this IB entry please? Were there any clues to warn me off? Thanks

Thanks Sho. My problem today has been my discipline in sticking to a max risk of 13-15 pips. I'll increase my max risk to 20 pips and see how that goes. Should get me in on a few more setups.

Cheers Rob, the method is good for sure. I am spotting the setups but I just can't bring myself to risk 20+ pips on each trade. This is partly due to my recent habit of risking no more than 13 pips and partly because my daily loss limit is 40 pips ...

Thanks Sho, I don't think 15 pip stops give us much of a chance in this kind of market. I am seeing the entry bars - just don't get a chance to enter at a risk I'm comfortable with. Last 2 days have been totally crazy. I find it really frustrating ...

May I ask what size stops you used on these shorts please? Are you parking the stops above the bar highs or using smaller mid-bar stops due to the volatility? Thanks!

Hi Sho, I'm really struggling with the volatility this week. I saw that entry bar but it required a 20 stop and never retraced to give me a lower risk entry. Should we be upping our risk parameters this week or stay out completely?

How many of you caught that big fall on EU/GU? I missed it of course.

Morning Sho. Were either of these 2 GU long trades risky or invalid please? When I took them I did see EU getting tugged down which should have set the alarm bells ringing I suppose. But, just based on this chart, were the entries reasonable? Thanks ...

I don't like Friday afternoons so I'm off now. Managed to make up for some stupid mistakes this morning and I've got 28 in the bag now so can't complain. Hope you catch some nice trades later. Dave
