Thanks Dudest

You're welcome

PS: AUDNZD at a good place to go short from ( BRN 1.0500 )

Cheers

More red 'news' in 10 mins

--> USD long, CAD short ? ( I hope )

Current positions:
--> AUDCAD: long
--> AUDNZD: short
--> EURNZD: short
--> USDSEK: long
--> XAGUSD: short
--> XAUUSD: short

PS: if CADJPY pulls a stop hunt spike up to VBRN 100.00 before going short, have sell limit there just in case

Let's see...

I'm just short on EURNZD at the moment.. in at the pins so was doing well, but not anymore. might have to close this one down as EUR rising.

How do you find managing many positions?

Dudest for me i don't like holding too many positions especially on lower tf. it distracts me a lot so i have learn t to stick with one or two pairs then hammer it down

thanks dudest :hi:

@managing: I look at the money. If margin is in danger, I close out / clear the slate

Lots of nasty hunts in past 3 hours. Had to close out (then re-enter) some trades + added a few others

Let's see

Apologies, when I said 'managing many positions', I didn't mean financially. I meant to say: how do you manage keeping track of all the trades at the same time (on the lower timeframes)? Are you just keeping mental notes of where you are expecting each to go? You obviously don't find this difficult as you frequently have multiple trades open at the same time. You're a machine!

Re: hunts. It definitely looked like a stop hunt on EURNZD the last couple of hours. I didn't close and re-enter on this one (although probably should have done at the time), but I did get a a second short during the USD news release, and both trades worked out well.

I'm looking forward to the non-farm payroll 'news' tomorrow. Hopefully can find a good entry.

Aaah, sorry, I see what now what you meant

My trades are mostly off H1 and H4 (and some off D1)

So it's not difficult to keep track. Every pass through the pairs open on Empty4 refreshes the mental notes

USD longs may kick in just yet. NZD longs are looking ok thus far

NFP should be interesting tomorrow

Cheers
