Guys, I believe the only mistake I made was not moving stops to BE right away and may be not taking partials on new trades. I will remember it. I took all those short positions cause those were the only signals to go short. no signals to go long. currently there is a couple of signals to look for buy. I will be watching.
Another thing, news could move trades in my direction even further. it happens more often along the trend. I also want to point that I took previously partials on too many trades too early and reduced my profit potential. made few mistakes of closing trades manually without signal confirming that I must close or stop being hit. I put EMA 12 on my charts. The only moment I am going to close trades manually is when ema 12 crosses ema 7 against my trade. that's a good signal that trend might be over. most often than not. Just imagine if news would push price along my trades. 16% would turn 30-40%. It is very reasonable. |

I also reduced numbr of watched pairs form about 30 to 16.
On 8H TF same strategy I will be trading only 2 pairs e/u and a/u. a/u tends to have excellent trends. |

the number of BE stop is huge last 2 days. price is very choppy. the last BE was the worst. shorted at 1.2203. target 1.21430. moved stop to be once in 15 pips, was looking to take half at 30 pips, it hit my stop and then dropped. morning was similar had 24 pips waiting few more pips before taking profit and BE again and 3 BE yesterday. It kind of having bad influence upon me seeing pips roll without me in. will probably take one day off to smell flowers, go to gym and sit in sauna.
I feel simply f*cked up. |
