    just an update on the euro... it touched the first resistance zone to the tick at 1.8460 and fell back immediately. This is a good sign that there is some supply at new highs. There is still some support below the market so I am not going short yet. I am just starting to transfer some money...

    I have done it before... when I was starting out. Not a months income but definately a week or two. I blew up a couple times until I realized it wasnt worth it. Thats why I am so adamant about risk management and position sizing. Every once in awhile its ok to shoot for the moon when...

    very good point.. do what works for you. I only use market orders on the higher timeframes... on the smaller I am all limit. When you use market orders you will have to give up some of your profit in order to wait for confirmation entry. Its a toss up.. less % winners and larger targets or...

    ya thats where people get killed... I wouldnt be against the trend on a trending day because my plan wont allow it. Even if I was my risk would not be any higher.. its just a zone and if it doesnt hold I know I am wrong and get out. Easier said then done for most though.

    that or up to the 78% retrace of last swing and then test the zone. which was the exact high at 1449. I never use necklines.. thats where I take profits most of the time. I use the shoulders to confirm zones to look for low risk entry to hold on a larger timeframe.
