Hello
I chose to sell the eur / JPY because of it was 120.23 and downward, and was continuing to fall, I think I chose it at the right time, would normally be increased and I would have lost instead.

Hi everybody,
Started relatively well with conservative approach, lower leverage smaller trades and was slowly adding up in profit. Pairs i like is eur/usd, gbp/usd and antipodeans. Later on got very excited and overconfident and forgot about one "must" and that is tight SL in my mostly scalping type of a trading. That costed me pile of money.
One must stick to the plan, otherwise failures sooner or later are inevitable. I find with myself that overtrading and overleveraging kills me quickly. An overtrading or overleveraging ususally means that it is gambling and we cannot approach the trading platform as a slot machine.
Good luck (or rather solid decisions) to everyone.

Hi eToro,

The biggest profit I got last week was on the USD/CAD pair. Upon Canada releasing its Wholesale Sales and Corporate profits data, this pair went up 200+ pips which is strange as the data released was strong on CAD side. When the next day, USD?CAD stalled and came back down 100 pips, I went in and short. Got 30 pips on that trade.

The other trades I win are all EUR/USD or USD/JPY as these 2 pairs has the lowest spread in eToro. Mostly are winning trades. Total pips won last week is 150.

Hi,
I usually trade eur/usd which has low spread with low leverage of x50 or x100.
using low leverage can stay in the trade longer and wait for profit time, I normally only set the take profit and use the default stoploss, and wait for the system to close the trade as i'm not alway infront of my PC, but this is not applicable during market highly volatile time, as you might loss all the fund.
last week I just try out to profit $3 and try to get $25 bonus!

Hi Etoro and @ All,

truly i didnt had bought a position if etoro wouldnt had done that trading challenge with 25$ Bonus...so i was thinking; lets do a trade! i bought GBP/USD with 250$ at x400. i think it was more scalping because i hold that position only for 20 or 30seconds...high risk i think, but it worked for me with 210$ profit because of the volitality last friday...the spread-changes are also dangerous at GBP/USD in the last time...but no risk, no profit i guess...;-) so i left the last week with 210$ profit and also the 25$ from etoro. i just saw that i have to comment what i did last week for it...so i do. its a good idea from etoro to do a trading challenge like that...thanks etoro!

have a great week @ all and never forget to read the news if you scalp or not!

I had a better week than the previous week. This is only my 3rd week trading real money so I am definitely a newbie to forex. I have been reading books for about 9 months but I have not actually started with a platform until a few months ago. I tried about 1/2 dozen platforms and decided to go with eToro. Overall I am pleased with the platform but most of all I am impressed with the other traders and their insite and expertize. I appreciate the tips and advise we receive from the experienced traders.

Since I live in Canada I usually trade Canada/USD as I am familiar with activities in both countries.

I am really focusing on learning the technical side of forex and I am ready and willing to learn more all of the time. Forex is only a hobby right now but I plan to make it at least at 20-30 hour work week in the next 6 months. My favorite currencies are Can/US, GBP/US, EURO/USD, and AUD/USD.

Cheers

Wow the wonders of technicaly analysis! I finished last week with a %35 profit in real trading and can now claim EToro's bonus. I shorted the EUR/USD based on 5 EMA crossing below 10 EMA, with confirmation from RSI and Stochastics. This would not have been possible had I not practiced my skills in EToro demo trading.

I think the unlimited demo trading of EToro is a great idea. It allows me to constantly improve my skills in technical analysis in preparation for doing better in real trading challenges.

Hello,

I think that it is difficult to know when we should take a profit.
$1 profit is better than losing money.
So, setting a stop loss rate, which sets a profit rate, is important to win the FX.
Then we should compromise the trade and take a break for maintaining our emortion.

Regards,

Yoshikun
