    Ivan's Trade Thread

    NeoRio1, Looks like I might take this one in the shorts. I was trying to play a bounce off of support, and support has now been broken and there is more than a great chance I'll get stopped out before I can dwindle the loss down to something more palatable. Asia has kicked the usd buying in...

    Stoped out on that trade with +5 pips. I am a firm believer if the market gives you some profits don't give it all back on the same trade. With Euro trade balances comming later I assume there will be little activity or consolidation and that renders my long analysis moot. You have to trade...

    stop change on my long eur/usd trade, new stop@5420. I am +15 pips on the trade. If there is a retest of today's low, I will be positive an additional 5 pips on a new worse case scenario for this trade. If there is a retest of that low i will re-enter long position at better pricing.

    long eur/usd @5430 stop@5420 target@5460. trying to catch a little of the correction. Only risking 10 pips of the 61 pips just earned. Took the trade cause i saw a 1/3 risk-reward ratio that it was atleast worth the risk. If wrong, net 51pips for the day is still a great day, but 81pips...

    PaulRon, I agree, but the daily and hourly charts on the eur/usd are oversold so a correction is in order on a low news day. The next support level is around 5300 and i don't know if there is enough juice to push that pair lower without a correction. Just my opinion. The market can and will...

    Looking to go long eur/usd after the run on the long stops. It's a low news day so i am guessing a strong bounce off of support should be in order. I have a short eur/usd going currently thats at +50 pips, i'll post the bounce trade at completion of my set up indicators. All this is subject...

    Working as a Junior trader

    This may sound very simple, but ask the top traders at your firm what you can do to expidite your learning curve. They already been through it and management saw something in you to hire you in the first place so I would start there if I were you.

    Hey Ivan, I see you working, trying to catch that bounce off of the declining resistance line. My plan is to short the eur/usd as well, however I am waiting for after the next retest of that resistance line. Who knows, I may wait for something that might not come. I'm trying to trust my...

    The only "Holy Grail" is money management?

    Hey Johno, actually we are not that far apart as you may think. From your previous post wouldn't the opposite be true as well. Over time wouldn't a great trader improve on his money management over time? I manage money for trust deed investments for a living and I would estimate that 80% of...
