This all depends on your tolerance for risk and the size of your potions. If you trade small your ability to hold trades is magnified, if your size is to large you will be pushed out of your position sooner than later.
Having said that, I use the VIX to determine my reasonable expectation for a daily move. VIX under 19 I look for .5% moves. VIX over 19 I look for a 1% move.
VIX presently is trading at 13.57 this tells me to look for a .5% daily move.
EUR opened at 1.3018 so .5% (65 pips) move would be 1.3083 on the high side and 1.2953 on the low side. This to me is a reasonable expectati......

I'll give an example,
I've been long USD/CHF since Nov 14 th @ .9456 Yep sold the top. A case of genius failed [wink]. Top is subjective term based on ones time frame, meaningless really. For those that don't use charts... they don't see tops or bottoms [lol]
Anyhow I've faded that move lowering my cost basis to .9240
I've been able to do this because
1) risk was small
2) I've been trading against that position the whole time.
I've traded against that position using USD/DKK and EUR/USD
Long story short I was in profit long before .9240 even though that position was 1000's of pips aga......

If your trading against your loss (making a market) and continuing to lower your cost basis there is no reason to wait for that to come back all the way to 1.40. Markets are cyclical no ?
It's called non directional trading. I don't give a shit what way the market goes I'm going to make money. Cause after all I'm right about 50% of the time :-)

Buy time & make a market yourself. Both sides of the trade will be in the money at some point in time throughout the life cycle of the trade.

I think what he meant by he has been on here a while... he was trolling the forum (for a while) reading all the ridicules posts, so he felt inclined to sign up and give us his wisdom.
Shocker there, finding bad information on a internet forum, you can add any financial media to that statement as well, after all its worked so well for the retail investor for all these years [roll]
Continue trading.

Agreed,
I could care less about somebody's chart or what they think. News is also of no relevance to me. It would be nice if we could select the blocks we show on the "our" main page

Hello,
Nice job on the market correlations. It would be nice if we were able to select the period for each time frame
Example,
1 Day 50 period. would give us the correlation for 50 days on the daily time frame.
1 week 52 period. would give us the correlation for 1 years data on the weekly time frame.
Ect ect...
Thanks for considering.
