Just a normal summer... can't wait for some nice trending markets after labor day...

Where did the crazy volitility go ? ? ?

What will you do when a 9/11 hits again and you have no stops? What will you do when your broker doesn't execute your trade because one of his links or his system went down? What will you do when the unexpected happens? What if you were trading ...

How far is your Stop loss

Not really. If I have 400:1, fine. 100:1, fine. You only wanna give me 50:1? I'm fine with that too, because leverage is only relative to how many trades I can put on. Any thing other than that, I don't care about. I only look at four pairs for my ...

ADP predicts NFP?

Nope. My current system is .6% a day. A little low, but just about right for me right now. If I made too much money, I would screw up because I'm not ready to make that much mentally yet. 1% is VERY possible. Consistently is another thing. But you ...

Profit 1% a day 300 % a year

Too bad that the really bad days just so happen to sledgehammer your account into oblivion just because you didn't use a stop loss, which is so simple that I can't fathom why someone would not use them. There are strategies that don't employ stop ...

How far is your Stop loss

You were loosing because your head wasn't on right. There's not any luck involved, unless of course, you can't take accountability for your trading decisions... You have a ways to go if you think that way. You don't NEED to dictate which way to go, ...

ADP predicts NFP?

NFP is my bread and butter when it comes to trading news, although I am considering not trading news at all, just because I notice certain things mentally in myself that I don't like, so unless I can stop feeling this way, I'll probably quit trading ...

ADP predicts NFP?

What is a VPS solution?? If you're talking about a hosted situation, I would recommend that you do a "co-lo" where you buy the server, lock it down, etc., and have it running in a colo's site somewhere... I use 1and1.com for my hosting provider, ...

Forex platforms with ability to put Breakeven Stops

Please tell me your method!

IMO, unless you're trading it on the daily, it's not worth messing with... it just doesn't move. It probably ranges 90% of the time on anything less than a daily chart.

A Crosspair Worth Watching - the EURGBP

My worst moments was when I went from equities to forex and got 0wned many times because I overleveraged too much. Thank God those days rarely happen anymore and my head is for the most part ok.

Money Mangement, Do you take it serious?

You bet.It depends on the strategy, but as a general rule I risk 3% per trade.I have in the past. I've done a 75% drawdown. Currently? Heck no. I'd shoot myself.Depends if it's in my trading plan... if the system suffers that loss, but overall is ...

Money Mangement, Do you take it serious?

If you think trading is gambling, then go for the 400:1 leverage. If you want to actually be successful at this, rethink that thought process and read up on money management.

Lost...?

You're not listening to everyone. For some reason, you think that you're head is on straight and it can't be your head. Go read Douglas, then come back and post.

Why would an ECN have fixed spreads? It's getting quotes directly from their bank... unlike a bucket shop that filters out the prices and quotes you what it feels like...

Getting Around your broker

Just to try to trump merlin... heh heh... My swing trading strategy has been short USDJPY for 24 hours now... I just added some more units short @ 116.53. Why? Take a gander at a 1 hour on a bar chart. See the Pinochio nose? That just adds to my ...

japan CPI

That's why you don't trade Japanese releases. They suck because news gets leaked all the time and it just causes the price to move all weird. I stay out of JPY news events. It's just not worth it.
