Reliance on indicators, or not
- pipthief99 replied Jan 25, 2012
Depends on the pair. Majors usually a few hours to a day or two. Some cross pairs I will hold for a few weeks or a little over a month. Its gotta have a positive roll though been holding EUR/TRY, Triple rolls on Wednesday
.How long do you hold a trade? Longest / Shortest

If your gonna roll a portion of your 401k into a self directed IRA, I would consider only rolling over a portion of what your company has contributed. This way if you lose its not a total slap in the face
. Last year I had a contribution ...Using a 401K/retirement to fund a forex account

I only used technicals in the beginning and then once I started narrowing down my entries based on fundamental events it has helped. Political rumors nowadays can shift the markets and can be quite annoying if your on the other side of the trade. ...
Fundamentals, Technical or Both?

We've all been through those times. I plot out the week based on economic events and then from there I plot out technical patterns that may be brewing. If they begin to line up I will get in, this has limited to how much I trade, preventing ...how do you improve patience

I feel that there are so many rules, indicators, and strategies that it can be too much in the beginning. This site has some good material that may help you get familiar with the basics. Some of the videos are a little out dated, but a pretty good ...
Different Pair Different Rules? What's your say?

.Axitrader feedback, anyone?

Trade station II for charting (Ninja Trader is good, but can be pricey) and MT4 for EA's.
independent charts packages?

That what kinda scares me with these guys, I hear good and bad things. I was looking into Axi trader and the spreads are slightly lower than Pepperstone, but would you be better off going with a razor account at Pepperstone?

EUR/CHF

I can see the EUR/CHF testing the SNB peg once the Euro has completed it correction that its currently in now. Once everyone gets long on the USD again and the market begins to shift. This pair has raised a lot of fundamentals, rumors, etc, that ...

Agreed, I feel like this pair is being watched by everyone. We will need test the SNB at 1.20 along with a fundamental move to set it off.

EUR/CHF

After all the the price action we saw last week, looks like we will need a a major fundamental move to raise the floor. Seems like a lot of traders took long positions on Friday, averaging out and now were all just patiently waiting.
EUR/CHF
- pipthief99 replied Jan 13, 2012
SNB set the floor peg on September 6th, 2011 (Labor day weekend). A US bank holiday and 01-16-12 on Monday is another bank holiday. If we have some light volume it could take stab at 1.20 and have intervention.

EUR/CHF

US number bad, but why is eu dropping? — EUR/USD is a little too fast paced for me at the moment. Other options would be to short the Euro on a longer term carry trade. EUR/AUD maybe (lots of talk of being oversold though) or even EUR/TRY, ...
