So I have been playing with my forex account for the last 2 days. Yesterday I had 200k order at 0.6299. Then i bought another 200k at 0.6277 as i thought the AUD will rally. Obviously it headed down hill about 50 pips, it came to -40. I closed the first order at a $800 loss. Straight after that it rallied 115 pips. That is like a $2200 turnaround.

Just before i go to bed i stupidly thought hey i better put in a trailing stop request so i can lock in profits (last 3 days i haven't used this options). So i wake up this morning and its at 0.6490. I was like i hope to god there wasn't any 30 pip swings last night. To my horror my order had been closed at 0.6390. I had a look at the graph last night and there was only 1 -30 decline. Bad luck.

So all in all for the last few days I'm up $1303 instead of about $4000.

I really do have bad luck when it comes to currency exchange rates. I have actually pulled my initial deposit back out and just playing with the profits now because it is causing me to wake up at ungodly hours to check the rates lol.

Hui.
