How is everyone making out with all this volatility?

Pay attention, times like this provide some of the best trading conditions. Size down if the volatility is too much for you, but keep on trading.

Any success stories? Any failures?

How's the market treating you?
 
I bounced back from -1.5% to a positive 1%. That's what I'll end the week with if I don't trade today. Would have been more if not for my phone, The lesson of the day "Do not use the phone while your on the clock"

I've never liked the idea of trading through a phone.. position checking or an backup way to get flat should your home internet go down?.. Sure, but otherwise trying to actually trade through your phone is limiting.

I also like to have an 'off' switch for trading. I have a time and place I conduct business, and when I'm out of the office or home then I focus on other parts of life. It's good to have a balance.
 
Just choose one currency pair that you are familiar with their respective countries economic fundamentals. Every currency pair has a unique behaviour. I only trade GBP/USD. Try not to trade too many currency pairs as it can get very confusing. You want to trade for a living, so it's better to be exceptionally good at one.
 
Hello,
Today world trading situation is very bad,

"EUR/USD recorded slight losses last week. The upcoming week features confidence indicators and PMIs. Here is an outlook at the highlights and an updated technical analysis for EUR/USD.

Eurozone industrial production declined by 0.1% in February, after a strong gain of 2.3% a month earlier. On the inflation front, Eurozone CPI came in at 0.7%, while the core reading showed a gain of 1.0 percent. This confirmed the initial readings."

Last month i was spend time 4-5 hour in forex trading. Buy now in this situation i just don't know what should i do.

Thank you..

it is definitely not a normal seasonal trade setup but we pushing. best I believe is to sharpen skills and focus on one or two currency pairs.
