euro/usd now down 24 pip
Your PS is very comforting.
Split
Just moved a few ££ over to my Spanish account now, happy to take the highest rate for a few weeks than wait and maybe see the BOE send it back to parity!
Good luck everyone with the BoE decision at 12 GMT ..
I have entry orders $200,000 long GBP/USD at 1.5328 and $200,000 short at 1.486 .. way out of range of bull traps and bear traps .. I'll try to grab 300 pips out of it whichever direction it goes ..
I have an entry order short EUR/USD $40,000 at 1.3840
I have an entry order long USD/CAD $30,000 1.1635
I have an entry order long USD/CHF $50,000 1.085
I have an entry order long AUD/USD $20,000 .6805
stops at -40 pips on each
trailing stop hit -5 pips on my GBP/USD but I had so much leverage on it I still lost $100.. nothing else was triggered.. I've cancelled my USD/CHF trade as well..
You choose trailing stop -40 .. You "almost" lost ?? You should have been able to take 35 pips profit from 1.5328 .. I didn't have the luxury of being awake or I wouldn't have used a trailing stop and would have made some money.. Had I not used a trailing stop I would have lost $800 .. So seeing -$100 in my realized P&L isn't that bad ..
all in all I expected a move to 1.55 from 1.53 ..
well chill.. don't try to get it back today by jumping into bad trades ..
the 5 times I've blown out my account have always come on days when I lost a little bit and then tried to get back to even by overleveraging myself.. so rather than lose 400 I'd lose 1000 and have t orefund the account..
