Well of course you are. You always seem to be shorting the EURO one way or another. By the way, didn't you go short EUR/USD somewhere around 3200. You must be feeling pretty good about that trade. Well done. I went long at 3100 (.39960 to be precise)
Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

Well you just keep shorting the Euro because everytime you do I make more money. Nothing personal, of course.
You mean buy to cover don't you, or are you adding to your current short?
You cover indirectly with a stop (ideally a trailing stop if profitable)?
no, never trailing stop
adding a trailing stop was the one tweak that just turned the whole thing to hell
no, never a trailing stop
I don't use stops
once you get stopped out that money is gone
there it sits in your realized pnl never to be recovered again
and these kids talk about it like it is no big deal
Oldtime, you got me really confused. If you don't use stops, don't use trailing stops, don't cover, how the hell do you ever get yourself out of a trade with money?
Yes, you're just messing with me. You told me yesterday that you were stopped out of your shorts, or were you caught without your shorts?

well first of all, since I average down, I don't end up with a full load unless I am really wrong
and once I have a full load on I have no choice but to scale out with stops
and it's a real bitch when one gets hit because that is money that is gone, poof, vanished
taking a profit is a different matter
I don't like to talk about it
It is a kind of a sacred moment
But when it's been a while it is not uncommon to have a pre mature ejaculation
