Differentiating trading and gambling is easy enough. When you place bets as if you are in a casino: place bet, wait a while to see if you have a winner, that's gambling. Trading on the other hand involves taking a bet and then use active measures to ...

Shhhh. Real traders don't argue. Real traders are too busy counting pips.

I can be wrong and still make pips. What if you are wrong and they decide to retest today's top ?

They are in storage. Depending on the situation, I am somewhat inclined towards increasing inventory on that line.

I am observer of pips and maker of random decisions about when to take them. My trades are diverse. All my winning pips today came from GBP, AUD, and HUF. I also ran down my inventory of eur/usd longs. Now I can withstand a 20k pip move against what ...

More than likely it will bring you more losses. In a thin market like this, all they have are your stops to chew on.

I am nearly extricated myself from eur longs. I need it just a little bit higher to finish the job.

Not disgrace, but more noob. The best discovery I made in trading was that when things don't look great, you don't even have to unload. But what you must do is to stop loading more.

I am definitely greedy. But the greed did pay this time though. Ended getting 3-4 times the pips first thing I logged on. But eur/usd did not behave as I hoped. So it still owe me the pips.

I am done with watching the paint dry. I'll sleep on the profits and see if they get any bigger when I wake up. But I am breaking my profit taker's rule of not taking profits. I have a feeling something interesting might happen.

Of course, you should know I meant the enthusiastic longs in eur/usd, */jpy. The mouse trap could come down rather quickly. If people want long, I'd go aud or cad.

Well the doji's are correlating with the cycle causing the turn around. I don't see the problem. I am no candle expert so I apply my own rules that say it is turning around. Surely you can see for yourself them candles are not going anywhere ? ...

I think it's turning around across the board, except CAD. CAD strength is justified. When will longs start to call it quits ?

NZD often have large spikes on closing or opening. No idea why. But it's normal for NZD.

Don't worry, I won't make it your job to risk my money. You risk you own money and I will follow. There's no easier way to learn to trade than actually doing trading. If you did follow 3 ducks recently, you would have had a winner. He shorted ...
