Martyfish replied Oct 3, 2013Interesting discussion. I use stops like an insurance policy; rarely expect to use/rely on it. I use 25 pips; but will close manually if I assess PA going against me. Losses are usually in 10 - 18 pip region.

Martyfish replied Oct 2, 2013I would keep your trading account in your own local currency. If you want to keep funds in a foreign currency, banks can provide the facility. But you want to know (imho) what you earn, will not have any currency risk to it.

Martyfish replied Sep 30, 2013Then we have the even more farcical situation in Italy. A convicted criminal wants 5 of his ministers to resign to force a general election (in order to pass a law exonerating him) The president then tells Berlusconi to F*** off !!

Martyfish replied Sep 30, 2013Yes, the debt ceiling issue is ridiculous. If one party is elected and both houses vote on the budget, and agree, then why do you need to then vote again on the overdraft limit ??

Martyfish replied Sep 30, 2013Good morning RJ, I am doing the same, just small trades this morning. Re shutdown, to be honest, I haven't a clue, this is pure farcical politics. You would have to assume there would be a compromise at the 11th hour. But who compromises, or is seen ...

Martyfish replied Sep 25, 2013Hi Thomas, Thanks for your comments, re ""setting up big orders in advance like in stocks", yes they do, as my news services, talks of buying/selling by a certain bank at certain levels, the only way of knowing this would be via L2 data. They also ...
