Oh shoot I didn't realize you can't edit posts here.
So here's a new post instead an addition having caught up on the thread.
I guess I'm stupid since I do let my trades run many hundred pips in the red thouss of pips when combined (shoot just the three shorts of 1.9987 1.9992 1.9995 accounted for about 2000 pips that's without my 2.00xx 2.01xx 2.02xx 2.03xx etc shorts). But I did it it worked out for me.
I'm stupid since I hedge which any self-respecting professional experienced trader apparently doesn't do.
So call me stupid if you will but I'm not going to let it make me sad because I just put things in perspective for myself - do you know how much trading how many pips it takes to triple $2k if you're trading micro lots where your pips are worth $0.01-0.1? So I must be doing something right no?
on that note cable just dropped to 1.9972 my 1.9987 short now has a stop loss of 1.9980. I'll probably get stopped out within minutes maybe too soon (imo - I still contend that there's more room on the downside) but I guess I shouldn't be greedy.
I still have all my 600's - upper 2.00xxs shorts with stoploss at 2.0100 I have micro longs at 2.0000 1.9990 now 1.9980 with open buy orders every 10 pips down. With how many shorts I have I can go all the way down to 1.89ish to be fully hedged still in the green
