Mani.... :)) Just curious, why no trailing stop for this trade? Thought that you are an ardent follower of genie or is it something new from Grace? |

By the way, taking small profits is not my habit... :) For this trade, (long USD/JPY @113.65), I'll let myself be stopped out, no matter what happens... Which means I'll only close the position when I have accumulated a substantial (TA pre-determined) profit. This is what 'running' is all about...

You should be glad that your order last night at 114.00 was withdrawn. Now you got in at a more reasonable level. In addition, you may not have been able to get out with 20 pips, and even if you managed your profit would have been very small (swap, comission, slippage). One thing I learnt: never look back what could have happened. Only look forward and check whether your assumptions are still correct. In hindsight everyone would be a millionaire but remember that according to statistics 80% of FX traders lose money. | ||||

Anyway, it is not so much courage or bravery, but just practical trading... Now I have to play the waiting game all over again...

The Benezir incident was what made it fall to 113.90, if not, it will not fall to that level. Since my order was 114.00, it would definitely be done... but sad... and it's my first order (and not paper trade).

for me, i wouldnt be entering usdjpy as the signals are not there to trade it. to me, it is just going nowhere thou it have big swing in both direction. I am not sure if grace's system tell u can enter or u based it on other system. i just commenting based on 4 forex systems which i know. maybe there are other systems which allow the trade. maybe can wait for next trading session. |

I shouldn't have withdrawn my earlier buy order for USD/JPY @114.00. I would have made 20 pips immediately if that order was done 1 hour ago... Very sad to listen to others... |

One more comment to the s/l: If you followed the USDJPY pair this evening you would have gone long at 114.00 and put your s/l at 113.90, you theoretically would have been stopped out at 113.89 which was the low for the day so far (now trading back up at 114.15-20). Take your time and 'paper' trade to get familiar with the movements in each pair that you are interested in. For economic news I prefer Bloomberg website and have the TV switched to CNBC. |

Wow... :) It's good to have Clauswu and Cashier, etc, to be the 'da shi xiongs' for those starting out in Forex... Which is a good centralised location (website) to monitor the latest news situations?...
