Took close to my max loss of $ 175 for the day. I am glad that I stopped when I approached this loss. Trade was killed as max loss ($ 200) was approaching and the add on did not work.
Market trend was negative for the day, and I tried to trade against trend. I thought we put in a bottom at around 1029.50. I also ignored my signals that were calling for a short or at least not a long. Actually, if I had just taken my signals correctly, this would have been a positive day.

No. Analyse on 1 tick chart what happens on every significant market turn.
You will be surprised. Ok, every rule has exceptions but they normaly do not allow untaken stops on obvious places.
And if you think that you can take position in miliseconds when the price mover there - yes, if you have had it there IN ADVANCE. How probably it is?

So sorry romik, but you already know that I don't give a rat's ass about what you think. You should also know that I don't post here as much as I used to. I hardly post here at all these day. The only reason why I bothered to post this one was that I happened to have posted the opening trades and you would accuse me of, again, paper trading if I hadn't.
BTW I want to see you post a live trade for once. We shall see how competent you are as a newly elected (or rather self-appointed) forum nanny.

I will post a trade in due course, I promise.
But order has to be restored here. Yeah I am self elected, but only because nobody else volunteered. Judgement will be quick & fair, there is only 1 rule & if you stick to it you will not be judged & that is to post both entry & stop in real-time as requested by B1S2. Do you not have rules in your hasienda?

I have no issues with posting stops. As a matter of fact, I believe I did post the stop for the 58.75 trade. The trade at 48 was merely an add-on to that initial trade.
Be that as it may, placing stop is one thing. Having such a wide stop that is almost unreachable is another. Moreover, changing the stop just when you are about to get hit is still yet another. Haven't we seen these sound practices from our thread master? So stop this hypocrisy of self-righteousness bullshit.
You may change your stop of course, as long as it is done in real-time before it's been challenged. If you did post a stop, then simply quote it & I will apologize. No need to tell me to stop as I will not stop judging. The only people that will stop me is either B1S2 or Magna on B1S2's behalf. Please follow the rules of this journal when posting trades. You can ignore me, but at least other readers will see what's what.
"as a matter of fact" you were short from 58 according to this journal, not from 58.75. And no mention of a stop.
