Sugar : You Dare to Sell ?

  • Like a chicken, been watching this bubble burst from the sidelines for months.
  • Just couldn't summon up the courage to take action to sell.
  • Gone from 30.40 high to 14.66 now. (On 1 single lot, thats a P&L of USD 17,628 in just 3 months! And IMR on 1 lot is USD 2,520). 
  • Looks like target is 8.36.
  • Remember what they say about housewife wave, greater fool etc ..  feel like I am setting myself up to be one.
  • Perhaps I should just leave this alone and learn from it. In future, when parabolic charts like this break, just close eyes and jump in short. Don't wait.
  • Hmm .. maybe I will dip in and conveniently forget to report it here to prevent embarrassment. 
  • [PIGS yield charts have parabolic rises. At some point, they will snapback just like this too, with significant implications for lots of trades eg EUR/USD].
