Now that the US Fed had said that rates might increase 3 times next year I think that parity is a real possibility. I can't see the ECB increasing rates for a looooooooooooooong time
One of the most useful things I did was to reduce the number of trades I entered. I limited myself to 4 trades a day. This really helped me focus on the best trades.
I'm not trading as of end of this week. Markets are likely to go sideways until January. No one wants to be worrying about a big position when the Christmas dinner is being served!
The chances of a rate hike is the main driver of USD, so if economy looks good and there is a risk of inflation then rates may rise (causing strength in USD) and a rise in stocks
ECB mixed messages have caused a bit of a mess with the price of EURUSD. Tough to know how the price will move going forwards but even with the recent rally in EURUSD I expect that that the price will sell off at some point in the near future
Trading can be very profitable with a lot of practice like a lot of other people have said but it really does take time. Using a demo for a LONG time is very important. It sucks to start trading and then lose all your money in a week or so
Revenge trading was a big problem for me. Whenever I lost a trade I alway's felt that the market owed me something and I would take another trade and expeting the price to move the way I wanted.
