Surely some of the trades opened can fail in the case of high volatility. But traders that know the situation are provident letting close to zero or with a small profit the most of these trades. Zero is better than a loss. In the scenario where the volatility defines success and failure of a trader, there are many opportunities to open new trades.
The Worst and the Best Charts
Some times the chart is Choppy, Slow and Bore like the EURUSD and USDJPY charts in this tweet. In this case what to do is just have patience to wait or lose money. A slow and choppy chart increases the risk to lose money.
Other times instead, the Chart is Totally Predictable and with Enough Volatility like the EURUSD and USDJPY in this tweet. It lets really make money, making the day one of the best of your life.
Note: Why have I always a double chart EURUSD and USDJPY?
At the moment I use charts in this way because EURUSD has a strong sympathy with USDJPY by the USD correlation among them. This is really useful to understand whether EURUSD is breaking a specific level, taking attention to the behavior of USDJPY. The two currencies have an opposite trend mostly.
Overextended Chart. My Trading after the FOMC
I made a lot of money Selling the EURUSD Overextended chart, after the spiking up. EURUSD spiked for hundreds of pips and it was not expected.
Many traders have seen their trades blown away, because the spike has eaten Stop Losses one by one. Also my copy trading portfolio experienced a huge loss. But the trader that I copy has cut the losses before to nick the Capital Invested. Later he sold EURUSD enough aggressively to turn again the Equity in profit as well.
In the EURUSD Overextended Chart I waited a reversal signal to understand if there were possibilities to sell. The chart showed significant Higher High and Lower High just on the top.
I didn’t sell the Parabolic Pattern after the long tail in the first High. But I sold EURUSD progressively after the Lower High.
I was not sure to sell because the volatility gives always high risk. Then I opened my first sells with a low amount and leverage 50x. When the EURUSD confirmed the fading, breaking the key support 1.0818, I sold more with bigger trades and leverage 100x. The Final Goal was to hit 1.6000.
I closed the biggest trades at their Take Profits, putting the huge profits in the pocket. I left run the smaller ones opened at higher prices, hoping to reach the last goal. But it was never reached. Then, they have hit the Safety Stop Loss getting closed with huge profits for them.
