Yep.

Short answer is no, but it's been a very poor week, sticking to my rules made me see profit evaporate and winners turn into losers, however, sticking to my rules also made sure I came back from the darkside (200 pips down) and finally into profit, approx 70 for the week on eur/usd and that's it for me this week...
Three trades this week, two losers one winner so satisfying in some respects; the edge works (if my nut is in the game etc.) would post up a pretty chart with lines and funky indicators but this iPad doesn't do java..Might post it later...
You are a master of understatement! It has been a very poor week, indeed.
I am level pegging but that is not boasting. At my age and after all these years I should have made a packet this week and I did not. Instead, I am about twenty points down.
I was looking for bounces that did not come which tells me that contrarian thinking is not a good idea for me.

Just out of interest, what were the reasons people lost last week?
Trying to find the bottom/reversal? Holding hoping it would come back? Was it more of a case the markets were like casinos? Other reasons?
I've never seen a week quite like last week and to be honest I was a bit too scared to trade!

Here's the thing, if I'd had no access to any media other than my eur/usd chart, then the week was no different to many others, in fact I've experienced much more volatile weeks without all the s.h.I.t. that's been hitting the fan. My big 'mistake' was taking my youngest lad out twice, early in the week he cost me my short entry and a few quid on stuff at a skateboard park, HMV, Wagamama. Friday we went to see Captain America with the eldest lad, I thought id get clever post nfp numbers, went out at two thirty, had already set an order for a long at 14200, 50 pip take profit limit with 50 pip stop, got stopped out by 3 pips, so finished the week 20 pips up..I think that paid for the two days out..just..![]()
