Alright! I think all these bank traders who have come back from holiday are about as floozy as they come! Prices are all over the board, whipping me silly!

 

Stopped for -49. Short @ 189.38

 

PS: I'll reply to your question about my view of this week soon.

I guess it's not clear enough. I went short at the close of the 240-min candle seeing that it closed below support(187.93).

 

I'm currently under water and very near a stop loss.

 

How did you guys interpret this new candle? what did I miss?

 

Out at -84. Hmmm...

 

Back to the drawing board.

 

I think part of what I do is just ingrained into my brain... I wouldn't enter a position thats moved 200 pips already, only trail by then.

 

Also, 84 pip stop??? Personally moved mine back to 50 and looking to drop it to 40 if it works out but 80 is a tad large for me.

The retrace over the last hour may have been a setup for the UK GDP estimate which now has come in at a dismal -0.02%. It pays to pay attention to the data releases.:doh:

 

Ummm... that can't be the entire reason. The biggest move was in the yen (which lost value). The pound gained - it should have lost value.

 

It's probably just positioning in a lower liquidity market (?).

It wasn't so much the cause in respect to data being released, but in respect for what traders were expecting to be released. You've seen it many times where an important data release is upcoming and traders drive it a good distance in the opposite direction. That is what I believe happened in this case. Live and learn.

 

It certainly was a stinker of a loss though I'm happy to take them while I'm learning.

Everything's better now. Took a short at the last hourly candle after the UK GDP news was released.

 

Closed for +98. That was a cheeky trade as Wasp would say. At least I'm back to last night's profit level.

 

Woo hoo! Nice come-back! I'm still flat - waiting (and waiting... and waiting) for a signal to do something. So this is what eternity feels like?

Now that the canvas has changed, are you drawing a descending trend line from the hourly candle high at 190.42 through the close of the giant bullish candle(12:00-1:00pm Alpari time) that ate my previous short position?

i'm right with you: -65 again.

 

Long GJ @ 189.61. Last chance. Otherwise I lay low for a while because something is very odd about this market.

 

Edit:

 

Everyone should put everything they have short on GJ since I've gone long. You'll most likely get at least 65 if not more pips.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
