9.3.2017 EUR/USD short 1.0555

Leave a Comment / Market Analysis / By

If you took this intraday level, set 10 pips PT and -12 pip SL it would ended in full stop loss. However I took almost full profit (+9.2 pips). Here are my thoughts that led me to trade the level as I did.

  1. there is a long rotation few pips before my short level. Market is accumulating volumes.
  2. there is high probability that this long cummulation of volumes will end up in a quick move (up or down)
  3. if it shoots up I will probably have an opportunity to enter for a better (higher price) – that’s exactly what happened – I entered for a +2.3 pip better price
  4. my profit target of 10 pips was just a bit below very strong support level (support made by the previous cummulation of volumes)
  5. it was safer to exit my trade sooner (at this support) than to take a risk.
  6. I was carefull even more because today is ECB event day and eur/usd could be pretty unpredictable and wild.

Risk Disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
