Last week I accidentally bought 1 Lot instead of 0.01. That costed me more than 1% of my account. In the past I had accidentally clicked Sell instead of Buy; not to mention closing trades by accident.

Hi Tashkent, I've never known about Joseph Nemeth and his 4X-DAT method, even though I recall seeing a few forex ad promoting 4X-DAT. I think he makes sense and the technique is sound. My hedging is caveman in comparison and has lots of room for ...

Thanks for the video. I will take a look. Haven't got time to trade today. But I noticed market is very treacherous today - eg. Sharp push up of euro then fell unexpectedly & steeply. Caught many by surprise.

Yes, that was the very first time I had such a long period of success. My trading behavior now is different from then. I will try to recall what made me successful then and repeat the same trading behavior again. Thank you for the tip again. ...

From Dec 14 to April 15 I was actually quite successful. Started to be very confident and in fact I managed to double my tiny live account. Then I increased lotsize from 0.01 to 0.02. Unfortunately in the ensuing weeks I started losing and kept ...

Hi Tashkent, Good to see you back. I thought you wandered off and gone. I had to reset my password to get back in too. Could you share TE for risky trades as well, but indicate when a trade is risky? I'd be interested to figure out when is a ...

Oh, no! Not a language... I'm not even fluent in my mother tongue Chinese Mandarin. I admire and amaze at those that LEARN a new language, because I HATE HUMAN LANGUAGES and it's quite impossible for me to LEARN other languages. I was pretty good ...

Hi Tashkent, MaryAnne & visitors, Hope FX 2015 has treated you all well, even in lights of all those surprising market moves. I've been busy with some work that diverts attention from FX, feeling very annoyed. A few open positions I have are ...

Can't say I'm doing well. But have just closed all EURCAD positions with a tiny profit that won't pay for a burger. I have a suspicion it's about to reverse and go long. If so, I will later short it from up there and I'd better not make same ...

Well done! Cha-ching, cha-ching all day long Things start turning around as I kept calm and trade me plan. Happy with how I hedged EURCAD and it seems to have reversed. It was quite fascinating to watch on 1-minute chart how GBPUSD tried many ...

Two of my brokers show EURCHF had broke below 1.2000. It lasted just one minute. But that has not done anything to lift EURCHF significantly.

Still have plenty of rooms to improve on all 3.

Tashkent, Thank you. I have to do more thinking and update my trading strategy.

What you say sounds pretty cool. This week is horrendous and I didn't see it coming. It's very hard work to scalp and I thought I was starting to be good at scalping. But when large market swings happen, I think scalpers often get caught with large ...

Yes, charts on large timeframes are a bit scary for shorts. Today I hedged half of my positions by taking long USDCAD.

Well, looks like it's not happening yet, and I really don't how SNB will handle this. Three reasons though: EURUSD seems too strong compared to other USD pairs (& it's damn frustrating ) EURCHF too close to the floor It's Friday I guess if ...

SNB will shed blood of CHF bulls tonight...

Shitting myself on this EURCAD, rocketed to 1.4433. Seems to me Euro strength is very strange. I suspect Euro is being pushed up and that has something to do with preventing EURCHF from breaking below SNB floor of 1.2000. EURCHF is now only ...

So it did broke 117.94 ... went down to 117.43, then shot back up to 119.55. But now USDJPY appears not knowing which way to go.
