FX - The Wild Wild West

So, a new month has started and like a good champ I'm , I start to make plans and tell myself I'm going to take only the setups that fits my criteria. So far so good until I see a trade on GBP/AUD (see Figure 1)and I see a nice short opportunity, everything was pointing for a down move and I decide to short it.

Alexthebest LOL.......... I have no problem whatsoever to admit that I either took(or dint' took)that trade in my live account, but the truth is that I didn't. Actually there where many time when I came out in my blog and spoke about the losses I took in my life account, but this time it was not the case. However what happens in my live account is none of your business:)

Short GBP/AUD Trade Explained

I have no idea what was happening but I couldn't access the Trader Contest webpage during the weekend even though I've tried several browsers it just didn't loaded up, but every other page was working.

So, I'm the only one who couldn't access the Trader Contest webpage?
Anyway, lets move further as in this blog post I want to s…

Game Over

Yesterday was the first trading day for the new Contest and unfortunately I was stopped out on my long GBP/AUD position, but what's even worst is that I got a margin call. There were several events that lead to this catastrophic result and mainly was due to the fact that I lost my internet connection right after the New York session come in and it was at the moment when the market started moving against me, and I was unable to mange my position and even to watch what the market is doing.

AUD Positions - Target Reached

Although it was Christmas and we didn't had proper trading conditions but I still have had 2 opened positions which where closed today as my taking profit order was reached. I had five fundamental reasons behind my AUD bearish view:
