How we can explain that what happened today on the EUR/USD ? I remember you wrote that they prepared for a big up move. How you avoid these situations, you do not play on the market news?
Set-ups can change from one day to another. Do not trade what you do not understand and do not get married to a trade is the lesson. It is not that I have fully mastered these ones though..

Nothing has changed... I've explained numerous times in the past how "news" is used to cover manipulation in the market. I'll not cover it again.

Look at my set-up, you were not supposed to lose money on this one. My TP was where the expected L1 is indicated, that's exactly where the candles closed and turned back. Look at CJ's set-up, exactly the same. Maybe your entry was late or your TP too far?

That's why they call them "stop hunts"

The price reversal was so sudden. Did you manage to close the trades in time?

I have the same questions. Moreover, in the case of such news most of the brokers will not allow you to close your positions because you get the pop up message with requote...

I practice what I preach. Protect your trade, take what's given and don't give it back. These were posted previously as were others... Some day, somebody's gonna learn.

Those red lines are my protective stops, which are hit on the return. The lower red line is a TP for one short order up top, to cover the losses of the buys above the SL's.
