    stop losses are for loooosers

    i am now exiting that trade because my predicted high would be at 1.2117, halfway through the central Pivot Line and R1, and it failed to reach that and it seems it puts another inverted hammer there. I am waiting for a retracement so i could buy it again. MY TRAILING STOP is at 1.2080...

    For instance my trade now on the Euro, went from 1.2030 to 1.2100 and i am still in the trade with just 15 pips stop loss because of that hammer that appears just at S1... neat, eh?

    stop losses are for loooosers

    Anyways, using stops without having a resistance or supply line to judge the whole thing after is a little risky. I am trading the FX and using pivot lines, and always having lines drawn halfway between S1, S2, S3, R1 etc... You wouldn't imagine the times that price goes from one of these...

    stop losses are for loooosers

    illiquid. I am glad you too think that tight stop losses increase performance. On the other hand, i had a better thought about this. When i was starting out, my mentor forced me to put a 20 pip stop and have a 1/2 to 1/3 - loss/profit ratio, so that i could chase trades that only guaranteed...

    stop losses are for loooosers

    Ok, when you are new at trading, your stop loss IS a pain. Sometimes it can eat you alive, BUT that is exactly because you do not understand very well the laws of supply and demand and how the mass of traders tend to think. Somebody said earlier that if you place a stop loss in a logical...

    Usd Bull Over !!!

    Oh. I just saw this. A similar situation can be found just below where it says Plot Area on the image. Just about the same, and it kinda did what it was supposed to do. Retest the EMA. Now, I am not saying this is a MAJOR reversal, but as stated, a test of that trendline set and a closing...
