shellsnail replied Nov 10, 2013Currently in a couple of GBP/USD shorts. This thing is a beast. Looking at the GBP/LFX weekly/monthly charts, I can't pinpoint whether we are in a 3 of 3 wave up or whether we have just completed a complex WXY correction with Y being a zig-zag. Both ...

shellsnail replied Nov 10, 2013Yeah my view is CONDITIONAL on AUD/USD heading down to make new lows first once the week starts. If instead it retraces and completes correction then I expect more down. but my sensing is that many traders are positions for an upmove from here ...

shellsnail replied Nov 10, 2013to elaborate, for 1) If your edge is very strong, you can often get out with a small profit or breakeven when you are in a 'bad' entry; most however can't read the market well enough to know when to take the loss and when to WAIT AND ENDURE until it ...

shellsnail replied Nov 10, 2013I think there's quite a lot of truth in some of what you're saying. Interbank dealers according to what I know don't use stop-losses. They simply manage their positions. I read this somewhere on this forum and I think this is everything you need to ...
