Potential GU long...

UPDATE: Full 1R loss. Wow, I'm really having a bad week so far...the worst yet since I started consistently trading/posting over 6 weeks ago. I'm not 100% sure what's going on...not sure what to do right now...

I got burned on the same move, but on the EJ instead (in sim)...

PS. Great thread you've got going here. Started to read it a couple of weeks ago, and about halfway through so far. Really inspiring to read everyone's contributions.

Didn't turn out to be all that great after all...went barely 1R in my favor and bounced back up through the entry.

This has been a tough trading environment this week. I think it may be because of the lack of economic news. It's crazy...yeah I haven't had any winning trades this week (I've had 1 breakeven then 3 losses in a row for a total of about -2.2R), but I haven't even had any major shouldawouldacoulda wins either!! The best thing I could have done so far this week is absolutely nothing! That is probably going to be the lesson this week.

I've been trying to determine whether it's just been a poor environment or if my calibration's off...I'm leaning toward blaiming it on the environment (and my failure to adapt, of course).

Anyways, these are just some thoughts that are floating around in my head. I'm off to work now.

EDIT: Well I guess there is one shouldawouldacoulda...I shouldawouldacoulda traded the European sessions! haha. The currency markets seem to move no matter what during the European session.

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time
Wow...just got slammed hard on a EU long...the market went crazy...it basically went from the high to the low in about 1 second, then back to the high a second later. Crazy. You would have though that it was NFP or FOMC or something. I got slipped and took a 1.1R loss on that trade. I'm done trading for the week...I'll be on the sidelines monitoring but I'm not going to do any more damage to my account this week...it's getting to be a little much.
