PaulRon, It was bound to happen sooner or later and we just got caught. I know one thing I learned, never ever ever never ever again trade a large stop near a support or resitance line.
 
Quote from Ivanovich:

Short, EUR/AUD - 300,000 units @ 1.6920 for a move to 1.68. Stop @ 1.7020.

I'm both concerned and relieved here, as the stop for this position was never set. I logged in this morning and looked at the move overnight, and it should have hit my stop. So I came here, posted that it hit my stop and opened my browser to see the position still there. I checked and saw there was no stop set at all. Of course, it's nice to not have been stopped out, but I need to understand why this occured. I enable stops by default - I do not know why the Oanda platform did not set a stop.

Either way, the position is open and the SL is set for the original SL. Hopefully it won't be needed.
 
Quote from cabletrader:

Here's another one...

Short EUR/ISK @ 124.83, Stop 140.00, target 114.00

Time frame x months to x years but at least the interest is good!

Forgot about this one....

EUR/ISK went straight down to 120.69/121.29 (over 350 pips) after an 85 pip drawdown, 60 of which was spread!

2 out of 3, 1 break-even
 
Since i don't have a clue on how the market going to shape up today. I am working a long and short entry.

Long eur/usd @5020 stop@4999 target @5100
Short eur/usd @4965 Stop @4985 target@4850
