If you feel your long thesis is wrong you should be standing aside and thinking about it not just flipping position. I've seen little analysis here on any fx trades and certainly no display understanding of the price action.

My profitable structure involves medium to long term trades. I have a passing interest in short/scalp trades but have never been able to make it work consistently(in profit). That was why I brought up the subject here. (By the way, if you saw how many trades I was actually interested in, you wudl probably be even more worried! I only do a certain amount though due to equity constraints)
