Jesus? Are you referring to Jesus (hāsoos), my Mexican gardener? He'll be happy with the extra money that I give to him as a tip. Lighten up dude. I don't tell you how to live your life.

A total of 22 trades. My account is not all that small so I have larger trades. But my account is purely speculative money - I can lose everything and it won't change anything in my lifestyle. And keep in mind that I'm 50; if I didn't have much ...

Thanks; I've got molecule6's website bookmarked and will look into it. OK, I netted 1.5% today trading the range. I'm done 'til next week. My broker will be happy; I paid more than $400 in commissions this morning. At least they've got tight spreads. ...

Great post.

I didn't trade anything from 28 July to 9 November this year. Not a stock, not a commodity, not a bond, no FOREX. Even Jesse Livermore (I consider him to be one of the best traders of all time) took time off from trading.

Don't do what I did. I did tons of homework and used a ton of leverage. It worked until it didn't. Had I not used so much leverage, I wouldn't have made as much money, but I wouldn't have gotten crushed so quickly. The best advice that I have is ...

I know this isn't aimed at me, but I've been trading different asset classes for 30 years. I only started trading FOREX in the last couple of years. There are a lot of lessons that are only learned through actual trading experience. That's why I ...

I had a twentyfold profit in the markets in one year. Paid 1/3 of that in taxes. Gave the other 2/3s back over the course of another 12 months. I still have cap loss writeoffs. On the bright side, my cap gains are written off against my losses so ...

I'm range trading mouse sized positions. Making beer money, so I'm happy. Edit: Selling the pops, covering the dips. It works 'til it doesn't, and when it doesn't, I quit for the day. Hopefully with a small profit remaining for the day.

When I was in Aix-En-Provence on St Patrick's Day, it was in the alley behind the bar. I went back there and some girl just got up from her squat. True story.

That's why I have a very hard time opening long positions on the EUR right now. The event risk is just too great. A multinotch downgrade of Spain, Italy, or France would crater the EUR. In all though, you have to trade your own style and not the ...

Thanks, interesting. I'll have to chew on that for a while. Which brokers do you use and what complaints do you have about them? I'm with InteractiveBrokers; I'm overall happy with them but I hate how they cut off FOREX trading from 1700-1715 EST ...

Snatch, can you talk a bit about hedging? Multiple accounts where you hold long in one, short in another? Personally, I don't use SLs and I don't hedge. But I also don't use much margin and I'm flat when I'm away from my laptop. Thanks in advance.

Embassy's a good idea. No military bases in southern Italy. She's staying in smaller hotel; I'm hoping that one of the staff knows a good way to get a ticket. No matter, I can't imagine that they turn anyone away from the mass - they just won't be ...

Thanks; I'll pass the link on to them. It doesn't look that far from their hotel. I used my Marriott points to book them at the Renaissance Arc de Triomphe 28 Dec to 2 Jan.

Quick answer - to be able to export your goods and services. A cheaper currency makes your products less expensive overseas. I would suggest that you do a LOT of homework to understand this, as it's an important aspect of FOREX. Edit: In the case of ...

I can see short term bullishness. I'm with ForexPro30 though and just have too hard a time trading the long side right now due to event risk (you never know when another sovereign downgrade's going to happen). Instead, I've placed a small short ...
