I wish people would call it out rather than do it retrospectively.

This thread has been quite enlightening to me so far. I am beginning to understand that it is not about whether you are right or wrong - or trying to be right but about analysing the charts and deciding what is the greater probability of the next price move either a continuation or reversal of the current price move ? - and around that you can build an edge. I am a newbie and so it is like some one just turned on a light. It also seems to me that the worse thing you can do is to think you are right when the market is telling you otherwise - just get out and cut the loss if the market does not back up your analysis. Thanks to everyone contributing even BeginnerJoe who is showing me the way definitely not to do things and think lol ! It is all valuable.

If ever I know what price will do next - I will be sure to, but unlike you, I don't, so I can't - hence I just pose the questions to stimulate discussion for the sake of passing the time between set-ups associated with my edge. I am a tech trader therefore have no opinion - I just trade what I see. Even if I had an opinion - it's as valuable as everyone else's ! I also offer some analysis and discussion of the probabilities given that analysis from time to time from which others will agree with or disagree with (it's not an exact science) and will therefore make their own decisions based on their knowledge/reading/experience/judgement and some may even use an edge.

^ And to add some food for thought: assuming price moved against you, but your call still seems correct, do/should you double up? :smart: :innocent:
Just think how much you could have made ....oh I don't know...selling ?
Joe, check out his type 2 trend re-entry set up. Seriously, It improved my profits by about a factor of 10 !

Cable has been fun and games so far today I've been hard at work reading every useless bit of gossip about Cable along with taking blind note of all the brokers levels from all the FX websites. So here's my support levels for anyone interested.
