I thought that was known last week? in any case EUR trading off the Silver now

silver coming back up -- EUR still erratic but trendline is up.. i got completely whipsawed my account is down a couple g's right.. very close to calling it quites.. one last trade to see if rights me up.. i guess the silver move was to take out all the retail guys who were leveraged and now...

stopped out.. this market is going to kick my ass.. very erratic

re-entered short 650k 1.4810.. stop 1.4820.. target below 1.48

short 650k 1.48066 -- don't like the way it broke out though.. stop at 1.4813 stopped out

So silver's crash has begun.. and it looks like the EUR is jittery on the heels of that (can't find any other reason for the erratic behavior) feels like risk is to the downside.. watching Silver closely and looking to take a short in the EUR around 1.4805 or better..

yeah i got a taste of that a couple of weeks ago -- my account value dropped 8k over 3 trading sessions (40%).. takeaways from that were to use real stops on days like that instead of mental ones.. also will consider not trading at all after attaining wider than expected stop losses

out 1.4823.. account value now 20,575 (will be 19,325 after withdrawal)

long 600k 1.4814 stop below 1.4807 - target 1.4825

closed 1.4841 (posted late)

long 500k 1.4833 -- stop below 1.4826 target 1.4850

touched my stop briefly but I decided to hold for an extra minute after which it rebounded.. just closed this out at breakeven.. just realized that London is closed for royal wedding and so need to reset my thinking of what could transpire based on the lower liquidity..

Withdrew 1,250 to pay for intraday data.. Long now 500k at 1.48395 -- stop below 1.48335 - target 1.4855

very insightful -- thanks.. and good luck to you!

So either the ledge at 1.4825 becomes resistance and we head all the way down the cleavage to below 1.47 where the next ledge lies, or the ledge uptop at around 1.4840 becomes support for a further move up? If so -- do you just wait and see what unfolds or do you go with trend?

Stopped out

as stated on my first page, I intended to trade at close to the full leverage available to me.. first to limit my ability to double down on a losing trade (which i know is a weakness of mine) and 2nd as a way to naturally increase/decrease position size as my account size moves up and down I...

I just took a 600k short 1.48264 -- stop 1.4833 target 1.48sh Steam has run out and feels like risk of quick bursts to the upside have subsided..

Ammo -- appreciate your insights -- know you've been around for long enough that you know what you're talking about. just for background, I have a day job and it pays the bills and I'm comfortable enough that even if I lose this 20k, I am not going to have to skip dinners or have a material...

Took a short 1.48377 and then covered and reversed 1.4829 and out at 1.48328.. account value is now 19,755 at peak of today's session I hit 20,500 and at low was at 19,100.. I'm extremely exhausted and having trouble focusing and just trading for fun so will stop myself here.. also...
