The limitations of the competition take some getting used to. Setting a stop loss I've been too careless and inconsistent. Mostly the stop is too tight so I missed out on the huge EURUSD and GBPUSD crash.

But my Rouble short with a bigger stop loss seems to be working and I seem to be in luck. There has been a huge unexpected leap. The USDRUB curve on the chart is ridiculous. This was to a certain extent luck. I don't trade news, I only trade on the assumption that news will move the markets and create volatility. Of course, the uptrend was obvious, but with a runaway train like this, the question is 'where can I jump on?'. As with the USD against gold, and all other currencies, it doesn't pause for passengers to get on. There was no candle signal, just a mad leap. I might have to get out early as there's no way luck like this can last. Maxim of the day: always take profits early!
