Up-date for my trading week

Frankly I am disappointed with myself....totally screwed-up for my forex trades as I lost about 3/4 of my total profit in my fund in just two days of trading. Why? I didn't put in a stop-loss for my trades becoz I felt USD/JPY and USD/CAD were already too low to fall lower. But they both did so....until I gave up on Thursday and kena stopped out. Then when the non-farm job data came out....I still go "long" for USD/JPY but didn't do a thing for USD/CAD. Yes....USD/JPY continued to fall while USD/CAD "fly", worst I kena stop-out for both my "short" trades for EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

Well...back to the drawing board!

silly mistakes....really! just cannot leave out the stop-loss for any sort of trading in future.

I burnt my fund when I did the same thing for my CFD on HK stock esp for SMIC. Guessed I didn't learnt my lesson well. sighed!

The problem is you, the issue is not a stop-loss
