Saw my backside this week, since I deviated from my normal trading approach. On some deep level I was fearful of missing the train speeding back up, resulting in me on a number of occasions seeing between 100 and 200 pips profit disappearing and turning into 200 to 300 pip losses. Need to get my mind sorted out....was a big mind {*^}<~*%}

I find trading like body surfing, catch the right one and you will make it all the way to the beach.

Hedging all my longs. More red coming...target 45100-ish even.

 

I'm glad I hedged all my longs. The 'short' leg of my hedge is deeep in the money. Now let's see if this level will hold or there'll be a final washout.

Positive China data, 10c up +-1.5%.<br />A month ago this geo issues would not have such an effect on markets.<br />IMO this has drop has to do with money printing coming to an end.

I feel sorry for everyone that is stuck with a long. If your account can handle it hold on. Eventually we will be back at the 470 + level. I am only now dropping shorts which I have carried for months. I still have 3 positions at 45187, 3x 444 & 3x 420. I know it hurts big time and is very depressing. Do what you can to hold on If your account can handle it. The interest on a long can hurt a bit but the dividends help to cancel it out. Exept for the 420 position which is a little in the money due to the interest recieved, all the others are almost on R0.00. <br /><br />Sent from my GT-N8000 using Sharenet Sharechat mobile app<br /><br />

Assume that you do not expect a break down at this level. If it does, then 45000 next stop....

i would now start buying, all the way down to 44500, now there is less risk...relative to the last few days and she is also low enough for spring reaction back up but not to last for toooo long but a few 100's of pips at least

Have to agree Sequoia..Personally I have some nice orders to open at 45320. First TP 47800 . Second TP 48750. Final TP 49120


Had to go and get it but at 45407 might be a steal..I hope I am A(bil) to get to my targets..
