I mostly work with Microsoft SQL Server. Writing Stored Procedures to pull data out of databases. It isn't all bad, I would rather much be trading and I am working to that end.

Boulder, I really enjoy the positive mindset tweets you post here. Thank you.

Combined with the PMI data from earlier this week and these terrible numbers for the ADP, the US economy looks like it is on the verge of something bad. Maybe not, but these numbers all seem really bad with the amount we are borrowing. Seems like ...

I honestly don't know, I guess it depends "how long term". If this keeps up, the USD will go the way of the other past world reserve currencies and lose its world reserve currency status and the value will drop greatly as a result. Will that happen ...

PMI misses again. I would guess we are now in the middle of a recession.

I know volume has been down but hopefully this low result if the holiday week causing traders to be away from their desks.

I could do this too, but I got lazy this morning and now realize I made a mistake getting in long and then shorting this obvious set-up. Lazy and distracted. Dumb of me, I know better and I know how to fix it and need to do it. Thank you for the ...

I'm going to guess a lot of the 1.1090 options were exercised in the quick blip where it got above 1.1090 for a few minutes.

There are some trades that are so obvious that the charts scream "bet the farm". There are so many things lining up to short the EU with that evening star or pin bar. And I missed it driving into work. I am so disappointed.

Does anyone have any reasons as to why the market is so slow? Is there some big event I am missing?

The Swamp

Gator, do you follow AJ to get a good reflection of the equity markets?

The Swamp

Thank you Boulder and Gator. This is very helpful!

The Swamp

LOL. But is what I described your normal sleeping pattern? I am trying to figure out if I can realistically make money in FX and part of the problem is sleeping patterns and trying to balance a full time job as a bridge until I can quit it.

The Swamp

Gator and Boulder, it seems like you guys sleep for about 4 to 5 hours, wake up around the London open, stay up for a few hours, then go back to sleep for about another hour or two. Is this correct? I am thinking about trying this to time the ...

I thought we would get a push up to 45 and the option level before it would sell off. I was wrong. Great work.

The Swamp

What in the world is causing the EU to sell off this strongly with no big news out this morning?

The Swamp

Your option expiries posts are so helpful I copy the screen shot every day and leave it opened up until the expiration time. Thank you!

The Swamp

That is why I am so thankful for you and Boulder and everyone else here sharing information and ideas. I hope I can pass on trading skills to my future children so they can have something in their life to fall back on. Thank you!

The Swamp

I feel so bad for the kids just coming out of college. What a mess they are walking into with no end in sight. Thank God I am as old as I am and had a chance to build something in my life, but if I have kids I don't know what I can pass on to them.

The jobs numbers for the last, what, 10+ years, have been dismal. The economy never recovered after the 2007 fiasco, they just threw money at the problem and keep up the same behavior. I am guessing we need 400,000+ jobs created for a year straight ...
