eur/usd is a bit choppy today and I'm a bit slow to take profit

We need to see 7619 taken out within next 15-20mins for the Dax to make a break towards the lows of the days.

Really dont want to see the top taken off though at 7635!

Dumped my whole DAX short at the 7634 touch 5mins ago for 49points profit.

Is very annoying as i turned down 82points profit earlier this morning for this trade though!


Am also unloading most of my ASX 200 short for a few points profit at this level due to Bernankes speech,
going to look to re-add shorts if it spikes up to 5039 though.


However anyone holding any trades open into bernankes speech is just a noob idiot.

not sure i totally agree with that,ive often been rewarded trading through news at areas of strong resistance,but yes its a gamble.

can't follow it any longer - it's rubbish, choppy pa

 

[wackypete2]

I agree. After getting run over I decided to step aside for a bit.

I ended with -18 today. It was difficult market for me, but at the same time I didn't follow all the trades all the time (2nd trade would've definitely taken at least 1/2 if not everything when it reached 1 to 1)

Another mistake was trying to run profit beyond +40 pips on trade before last one (I let it hit the stop at b/e) - not the best thing in a choppy market

Bernanke done speaking.
