EURGBP Bad trade managementI posted a EURGBP trade a couple of days ago, the entry seemed perfect and the trade was going my way. The trade then went badly against me and broke out of the channel. I pushed my stop a lot higher to 0.85925, I then entered another short around 0.85825. Price came back down 0.85550 where I took profit from my second trade and cut my loses on my first trade ending up with profit. "How you manage your correct trades makes you a good trader.

EURUSD - 60min @ supportEven i have my long position setup on the Dayli, i would like to show you this setup. Price price produces a slanted coil (small one), washes out the stops above and below and finally resumes the main trend. Here we even have a nice support zone (green), where it is super nice to enter. I allways put my stop below the stop running spike, or on bigger scales even a pivot lower. Nothing works 100% as we all know. But it is also important as a fulltime trader to TAKE opportunities when they setup. Because in the end, trading is a numbers game, where it's base comes from chances. And the chances are the setups we have, and which we shall backtest and verifiy biy stats! Because these stats are the only thing we can lean on in the long run. P! Take the Basic Action/Reaction course for free: mytradingcoach.teachable.com

EURUSD: Active management/A structure trade review (w/video)THIS IS NOT A TRADING IDEA, more of a recap. Earlier this week I posted a chart of the EURUSD that had three potential bearish patterns setting up in the same area. In that post I mentioned that I was also involved in a long position on the Euro. Well after 24 hours of doing absolutely nothing this pair finally decided to rally and move in my favor. Throughout the week I've gotten numerous messages about that position and since I never posted it here's a quick look at what was on my mind. Unlike advanced patterns, when I involve myself in a structure based trade I look to actively manage it. The "black flags" on the chart were potential profit taking levels for me and as price action approached them I would keep a close eye on the reaction. A positive sign would lead me to stay in the trade, while a negative sign would cause me to take my profits and fight again another day. The blue lines are an example of how i managed my stop/loss while the position was in progress. While the green flag is where I ultimately ended up taking off my final profits. Now before you yell at me about "not catching the entire move" please take a look at the video i just uploaded to my YouTube channel explaining the "Pros" and "Cons" of active management vs shooting for a static target area. www.youtube.com
