That's the problem. I'd rather go for the bigger trends, it's less taxing on my mental energy. But if I realize that it's becoming a range day then sometimes I'm able switch into take +8-9 and run away mode. I missed that +500 episode. Yeah, once in a while we get these big boys lining up at...

The daily chart is showing some interesting pattern for the last two days. Yesterday's close was on the upper trendline and so is today's low. To me it looks like the trendline is broken but of course I won't bet on it.

Finally, I'm in the positive territory after a quick short. The market is pushing me to be a scalper :)

Interesting. I didn't know about these special numbers. I guess somebody with ego is trying to prove something... I only have IB and Tradestation spot FX quotes. TS is not bad-- it's usually within 1-2 ticks of IB.

For me, there's a daily $ loss threshold and once I'm over it then it becomes very dangerous. Either I end up breakeven or lose much more. The "risk/reward" for this situation is against me. I really have to watch out. I burned myself many times and it's my #1 weakness. I'm not sure what you...

I bought this last dip too. I'm getting dizzy today! Yesterday and today US sessions have been quite tiring.

I already overtraded trying to catch a directional move. Today's sweet level seems to be 1.2315 for the spot. If the crude doesn't move much we might see that level again.

Getting in and out of trades. This last dip made things interesting. I'm bleeding about 9-10 ticks half of these are commissions.

We have some small chop here. I got chopped once. I'm on the long side and watching crude oil. Crude bounced down little bit from yesterday's highs, now at $48.0. Chinook

gwac, I trade with Interactive Brokers.

Nice comment :p

My last long trade ended up saving the day. I ended up keeping it until 12 minutes before the Globex session end and closed it close to the local top. All in all, six total trades, +24 ticks after the comish. I put in lot of work and mental energy for the amount of ticks made. But it was a...

I'm holding onto my longs like a horny teenager girl holding onto a ...... :) The dips are being bought more aggressively. I think this puppy will pop up and hopefully trend up for rest of the session.

I hope you closed your positions yesterday before the session ended. Yes, today being flat is a hair saver :)

Good job. Not a bad day for you given the ugly chart. I'm kind of reaching my mental stability limit here. It's been tiring day for me.

I got in a tick over the local low--ECZ04 1.2230. I'm up 10 ticks now but holding onto it 5th time today! Chinook

I bought this last dip. I'm hoping that this is the last downwards probe today!! Edit: This is the first dip on lower volume today...

I'm kind of overtrading today too. Also, I'm getting pissed because I'm not taking profits waiting for a trend up and meanwhile keep getting stopped out. This is my style but it starts getting to me after 4-5 trades.

I'm kind of clueless now. Bond and oil action are pointing upwards. I'll continue buying dips. Maybe this is the "final assault" before moving up. Chinook

Yes, stops are being run on both sides. Crude oil is gyrating back and forth correlating well with the EurUsd recent moves. Meanwhile bonds are rising. I've been in and out several times, trading the long side. Barely breaking even for now. I'm still dreaming for a long rally... Chinook
