urgh, my poor sleeping pattern is catching up with me. Not sure what to do about it. I'm a bit leveraged up here (though have a stop.)

 

[Pippy5000]

why not just t/p at 40 pips?

 

[Masquerade]

It's at the stage where i'm beyond that. Need something a bit more substantial.

 

[Pippy5000]

multiple zeros preceded by a dash huh?

at least move the stop to b/e so you don't wipeout

 

[Masquerade]

b/e is kind of above here.

Just saw my P&L - a bunch of 1's. Nice, I definitely picked a good time to look

 

[Pippy5000]

What do you mean bunch of 1's?

 

[Masquerade]

I looked at my account and it said -11111 just kind of amused me at the time. Like when you look at a clock and it's 10:10:10

 

[Pippy5000]

I hope that's -111.11

 

[Masquerade]

So would I. But no comment otherwise.

 

[Pippy5000]

well.. I banked my short way too early then jumped in long way too early and my stop has been threatened three times...

no fingernails left..

 

[Pippy5000]

scratching -4 .. total of 2 whopping pips for the session.. very, very, very boring night.

Pre-budget report.

 

[Shikamaroo]

oh well today was my worst day ever as a trader. lost 20, lost 20 and the trade was up 30 and now i'm about to lose 50 after my trade was up 50 cause that guy was talking. i got to go wallow in self pity

 

[Masquerade]

Sounds like a good day to me lately. Got to check those releases especially ones with potentially significant policy changes. Best to stay clear of unless you can make sense of it all at the time.

[Shikamaroo]
