You're too kind, josh, but my trading over the last few weeks is less than awesome.
Good advice re the profit taking, I really need to work on this, take the fooking money, eh!!
I saw it end yesterday at around 1272. I then went to sleep. Woke up to find it around 1265. Thought , just a retracement. About a hour later I check and find i've been stopped out and now short!! Apparently, margins have been raised on Italian bonds (the yield is well over 7% now on these).
Cheers gmst and Lawrence for your insights - will mull over them. I think i'm just not profit orientated enough, need to take partial profits at least.
I was long at 1255 yesterday, went to 1275, didn't exit, was just stopped out on the spike down at 1251 (yeah right at the low) :mad: .
I think i have done this about 5 times now, profits of 20 handles, and all vanished.
Someone HELP!!
