:confused:

Right, for the last years going long equities proved to be a great rule too!

Right.. what I mean is, once you decide for your stop-loss to be at a certain level, and then put the order there, it should be carved in stone and unless something absolutely special happens, like Big AAPL indicated, it's a no-go to close the position prematurely based on anything price action...

yes, indeed we could, and unfortunately we both could also lose money, which is the other side of the .. magic :D

funny.. your stop is almost where my buy order is at :D -> 86.76

..with the RBNZ on tap tomorrow. Taking 0.5 % risk on a short NZD/USD, with another 0.5 % on a news spike. Let's roll :cool:

If you set a stop-loss, do not close the position without that very stop-loss hit first. I tattoo that one onto my forehead right now. And then I mount a mirror in front of my face so I see it all the time. What rule have you got tattooed on you?

fx all the way. spectacular liquidity.

yea, but against CHF and EUR with major, major event risk on thursday? well ok.. might be a trade on the 5 min timeframe :p

exactly hahaha

kindly send your payment in DOGE to: DFKoVQgcDkTviyZuYNqnU5CodoFLN4Qtkh as a firm advocate of the trancendental object at the end of time, i am bearish fiat currencies, and in particular EUR.

At least volatility in the FX space is picking up a bit from the lows.

I also have a better deal: proven SPX buy stategy for the last 4+ years, highly leveraged, and even no stop loss required. I'm selling it for €0.99 only.

LOL .... please, tell us your 100k strategy is fitted to this data

been there, done that.. prepare for A LOT of work. I combined the concepts of neural networks, boolean trees, kohonen maps and more to something that seems to generate a few % return per year out-of-sample, but it would need a lot of further fine-tuning, testing, proper historical data, and...
