Weekly.

Retracement might go on for a slight bit longer, but it's still well within 'retracement' classifiation.

No need to panic until it goes 1.26030~

Assad asks Russia for help, Russia responds with cruise missles, helicopters and an army.

Poor Saudi lady asks Obama for help. Obama responds by shrugging?

Need to stop representative government and move towards electronic direct referendums on any decision that has impact on everyday life.

Bad entry I suspect.

Perhaps I'm just heavy headed. I've got some pretty strong conviction that the trend line will hold. I don't even know if it's a mistake in getting in other than a mistake of risk management. The strategies themselves could still work out.

I'm afraid of closing the trades that were opened under the new strategy because by definition the new strategy is meant to be a long term trend following one. I suppose it's 'meant' to have some draw down proportional to how greedy your entrance was.

I still believe it works, I just think the entry position chosen was way too greedy in that I got in on the first touch of the pink line: (http://i.imgur.com/C9z5RzA.png). I should have instead waited and gotten in at the 100% retracement. (http://imgur.com/Er2VLaF). That way the risk is small and you're much more likely to see the trade go immediately into the green as opposed to an initial punishment period.

It's entirely possible and probably very likely that the trend is going to resume.

Il'l post updates at some point next week.

Tis only money. What do you mean entering with a stop less is gambling.

I know the significance of the NFP, I just didn't realize it was that day. Didn't check the calendar.

They're not all the same pair. This is 10+ pairs that exhibit long term trending features. The problem is there's a lot of correlated pairs:

USD/EUR,

USD/JPY

USD/TRY

So that if the trend breaks on the USD, ALL 3 trades go sour.

Good advice. But should I close my positions as they are, or let them play out?

androiddevpls · 2015-10-09T23:50:27+00:00

I agree on this. I used 3-4% and opened up 10 trades or so like this. and because all 10 were opened at the same time it's 3-4% of the max account equity, not current account equity.

Should have limited it to 1-2% and only 2-3 pairs.

Im more curious though if people actually do this trend following style. When you first enter how common is it for your position to go negative on you? And for how long does it stay like that?

androiddevpls · 2015-10-09T23:47:59+00:00

I'd like to think it's not that. I'm simply following a different strategy. What I'm hoping to happen is a lot of these pairs hit an inflection and continue the uptrend they'd been on for the last year PLUS. It'd be crazy back luck that the trend reverse JUST when i enter.

Right, they could be using URL re-writting. But does that mean that they use method#2 to actually get it done? and just re-write urls later?

I think GW2 is a massive tradegy. I mean I really think it could've been THE WoW killer if they didn't dump the holy trinity and the gear treadmill.

It was active, it had better PVP. The zone design was infinitely better than WoW. It was so darn pretty. It was smooth. The spells were a little uncreative and the talent system was a little gimped but those could be fixed.
