Hi Pete,

Thanks for sharing all the insight. I have only been trading for a few months now, primarily the US session. I also trend trade, but I focus more on 1min and 5min trends and often times I miss opportunities because turns after dips come and go too fast (which is why a longer trend style like yours is so interesting to me). Do you ever pay attention to other markets when analyzing your entry points? I say this because in the US session, the Equities are the primary drivers for the direction in all the markets so even if the trend on the EUR was downwards, if the S&P, Dow, Nasdaq are all pushing higher, they will bring the EUR up too.

Thanks for any help. Being new to trading your insights have really helped.

Hi, I've never watched any other markets. I'm aware that some folk base their trading on Indexes but not me. That doesn't mean it's wrong it's just that I look at my charts and base everything on those.

I used to try and get a feel for all this other stuff but I found myself second-guessing what I was planning to do. So, like everything else I've tried over the years, I consign them all to the bin.

If you think it helps you, then stick with it but I can't offer any advise as it's not part of my arsenal.

Thanks. It's been a bit of an uphill battle for the last two weeks. I haven't been able to study the charts like I usually do, so making more mistakes than I like.
The market seems harder to read right now or is it me?😕

With Thanksgiving in the States and the lack of liquidity in the markets the mice have come out to play. This is typically the worst time of the year for my type of trading as it doesn't take huge amounts of money to move the market about. 🙄

We might get some order back for a couple of weeks leading up to Christmas and then I shut down until the New Year. Then we start all over again.

Are you calling me a mouse? 😀

Fortunately I had my stops well out of the way on both the Euro and the Aussie and am still watching the pennies dripfeed into the accounts.

When I get to the point that I'm sticking a 50 standard lot trade in against the trend I'll be sure to let you know. If I forget to warn you I promise I'll send an apology 😈.

No mice today, but very strong dollar bulls, which is even worse.
But really, a 28 pip spike followed by a 250 pip trend, what's up with that? I guess today the fundamental traders got their share of market inefficiency.

Well at least NFP had some action for a change. Used to be l ike that for a few years. I saw an account once of a guy that made 3 000 000 pounds trading just NFP.

But for the last two years been a mess....

Unfortunately I took my eye completely off the ball this week. I've been so busy concentrating on the demo managed account I forgot to check all the open positions on the live account.

Needless to say.....

Ah well, I've survived worse losses and at least we can expect a decent run back up to 1.5000 - 1.6000 sometime soon. This uptrend isn't dead yet, I will need to see a series of closes below 1.4760 before I'll change my point of view.
