Trump holds the biggest stick. He's Captain Chaos. It's part of his MO. Do you really think such a diverse and experienced business magnate will have trouble debating and coming to agreements? It's what he ran on and I'm sure we'll see good ...

Well its increase was widely expected. A lot of demand for greenbacks. (or what their called nowadays.) Damn shame there wasn't a brief pullback. But there still could be. Its in a rather tricky situation at the moment.

There is a wicked song called 'silence.' Great for focus when working.

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Very well said, the market can be a hellish place. And your life can become rather hellish. Adding to the above there is also the potential physical and mental turmoil that comes with trading. I remember when I first placed a trade with live money ...

If you haven't made it yet, what makes you think you will?

True, but I am bearish on the pair funnily enough. I just know that it may take some time and the ranging history makes me patient. But yeah that swap rate is a bitch. With rate hikes on the way, downtrends could be out of the question for a time.

Agree with that completely. I didn't want to say anything but it is really a defeatist attitude. If you believe success is impossible why even be on the Forum? Attitude is very important. One last advise I have is to have a PURPOSE. If your dream of ...

Thanks. And yeah I agree with you to, especially the follow the money reasoning. But it's not just speculators (institutional or otherwise) in the market. There are many market participants and valuations change depending on a large array of events. ...

If you haven't made it yet, what makes you think you will?

Honestly believe the Italy 'crisis' is way overblown. No need to exaggerate what is, really, an isolated and easily repairable situation. I don't believe the EUR selling was majority caused by this. Correlation can be a deadly mistake. And let's ...

I've found that 'making it' is synonymous with ignoring the majority of people. If you start to follow your own path and quit worshipping anyone with an opinion, it means you actually have confidence in yourself and your abilities. And if you have ...
