I was working a few blocks away from a 3 kid shooting in the middle of the Plaza (one of the nicest upscale shopping area in the USA) on Saturday night. I think the story went national wide after all the problems in Philly.

Mark, you and the other poster called that one perfectly. In the last few days, I finally believe I really can do this for a living. Now it is just patience to test my beliefs over the next year or so.

Oh, LOL, well that is just the life I live now, have lived for the last 11 years, and I don't see it changing in 2 years, even if my trading ever does take off, with the economy like this. Sadly, that is optimistic enough to still keep my job. If ...

LOL, well I don't think Bernake was optimistic, but I am guessing he was being painfully realistic.

Maybe parity will hold as strong support. I was asleep with the 4H Hammer formed at parity, so I missed out there. Maybe a move back towards parity and a touch trade at 1.0020 or so. The way the markets are right now, a touch trade seems iffy. Even ...

The markets are pretty rough right now. August is historically a tougher month due to low liquidity thanks to the vacation time of year. Add to the fact this is the first time ever the US credit rating has dropped, so things have been choppy. But ...

Yea, I know the AUD is not linked directly to Gold, but it is so weird to see Gold just explode in price and at the very same time the AUDUSD is going to hell in a hand basket. I guess it is the rush to risk avoidance to the stronger (historically) ...

Mark, thank you very much. I sent you a Private Message. If you can't get private messages here, let me know and I will post on your thread.

Thank you Mark.

Mark, this is something I have often wondered about and I am wondering how you handle this. I normally do set my stop lose and my TP based upon the chart. But if a trade to my FTA isn't going to give me at least close to 1:1 such as a .8 Return for ...

LJ described his trade, or well he asked, and I answered. The return to the .95 round number was also around the 50 fib and offered a chance to enter long. I don't think LJ ever expected this trade to run anything like it has run. He probably was ...

Mark, I will take a crack at the reasoning for you going long on the USDCAD... I didn't follow the fundamentals closely this week, except for the debt crisis, which was probably more show than anything else. So I sort of tuned it all out. The USDCAD ...

That is awesome! What a great experience.

Oh yea, I can understand that. There was no option to play any organized soccer at all in the small town I grew up in after the age of 12. There still isn't to this day. I was 16 years old when the world cup came to the USA in 1994, and this was ...

It is growing over here, that is for sure. The problem is, almost all the athletes we would have that would have good genetics for soccer often end up playing American football. I love American football, it is like the king of sports. But it is so ...

Man, if we could just get a coach and a system that compares some what to Europe (yea, we will never have the club team system they do) and we can get kids to realize that you don't have to play in the NFL to make millions, and if you are not ...

I never even considered the CAD economy relies on the US economy so much, but it makes sense. Thank you Mark! Hope your trading has been well this summer.

LJ Forex Group

Ah, the CAD GDP numbers were bad, well that makes sense. I went back to sleep at that time, thinking between the debt crisis, the London market action, and being a Friday it would be a flat day on the markets. Whoops. Man, that GBPCAD looks like two ...

I see the CAD weakness this morning, and I am guessing a lot of that has to do with oil being down. But what is the fundamental reason for this? I can't figure out why the CAD is so weak. Was there some news out about Canadian debt? Is it just ...

LJ Forex Group

Yes, good catch.
