And just before I hit the sack after my night shift (crikey - it's nearly lunchtime! in Queensland) I'd like to share the fun I had over the Easter weekend (and up until 15 hrs ago) when I was stopped out with a tight stop, on a news release.

All credit to you, Bob, for letting me in on how to really trade the Forex market.

That is why I trade small lots and large SL so they cant. They have no choice, they cant knock me out anymore, spike me, or any of their other garbage. I only want to be taken out if I am clearly wrong with fundamental direction.

2) Where will you be if somehow it goes pear-shaped, and your account gets used to clean the blackboard this week?

I move on. Whether I win or lose, I move on. I having days, occasional losing weeks sometimes on rare occasions a losing month but consistency over the long term is the direction I want to go.

And, if I may, can I add a third question ...

3) Will you be any wealthier in 3 months time if you:
a) catch the wave
b) miss the wave, but continue to plug away with your pendings and your 1%'s and 2%'s just like you are doing already?

Whether you catch todays move or not or its continual future move, LIVE TO TRADE ANOTHER DAY Tomorrow will give new opportunities, the fundamental move will have played its hand and by Friday or Monday your indicators will speak long and loud

Food for thought, and honest answers will have you sleeping tonight and sleeping better tonight.

Keep the dream alive ... hold fast to the plan ... stay within your rules ... trade to trade another day.

Normal transmission will resume in a moment ... :)

Bob, did you put your stops just below recent lows and your pendings just above recent highs for entries? Are you thinking longer term on these XXX/JPY buys? I have just set up two entries with most of them taking profit around the WP.

Seems like there are alot of trades that are just not quite there yet for 10.4. Especially the CHF pairs

If the news comes out as expected and JPY weakens I want to try my first trades that I hang onto for months. I will still open and close like normal but I want to try the hang on for the long term type and try some reentries. In other words when JPY crosses above the 240 line again I am going to see if I am disciplined enough to hang in there until a major monthly R line or cross back over 240. I have never done that before and I see this as my opportunity to try a big boy trade.

In the past I never understood long term trading enough to try that. Now that my trading system shows runs that can last for months, I want to try.
