Ouch. I thought today was a guaranteed too. Least I learned a lesson. No point in doing both eurodollar and Cable if you're not going to spread out the margin so it's not used up. Both do almost the exact same thing sometimes.

There's a good quote from a book on Irish folklore I'm reading. Never seen truer words. Doesn't matter what you're doing big or small, there's always a thorn. Some people thrive in defeating those people, some rather just walk away. Of course I'm ...

SRDC Episode I

As messed up as our tax system is, if all the people knew where the "fair tax" came from, they'd oppose it just as badly as unions and gain share bonuses at the end of the year. Value Added Tax? Or the flat tax? Only the former communist countries ...

Forex Taxes

I only see under 5 people posting in here that often, so I don't know which ones are the wannabe's. I repeated an explanation of what people gave have said or used to answer my questions. None of which are rocket science...support, resistance, or ...

SRDC Episode I

I check for news and resistance and support. Master Orange somewhere said beware of 50 and 00 psychological levels. For example, last night I did not take any Dollar/yen trades which I've been monitoring. Strong resistance and it was at the high ...

SRDC Episode I

I will continue to use the methods learned here. If someone has an easy question hopefully a good samaritian will see and answer. Some folks need to buck up and move on. I came to forex from stocks because there's less people and with reason to bash ...

SRDC Episode I

I'd wait 90 minutes and see what the BoE has to say first since GBP/JPY is a carry trade pair. Maybe they'll say something that'll make it unwind a little more.

Anyone trade slower pairs?

Didn't someone post that NZ wants their dollar to drop. And JPY doesn't seem to mind. Remember reading the kiwi dollar should go to 40 cents from I forget who. One of the NZ policy people. Tonight on CNBCW an analyst mentioned he sees ozzie/dollar ...

Anyone trade slower pairs?

Figures that Cable went crazy right after I couldn't stay up anymore. I want to do a poll or question. How much do people stay away from trades that are on resistance and support? I use one site to have a quick look at daily points before looking at ...

SRDC Episode I

When I sit here, and I explore all the indicators that I don't see mentioned much and look for patterns, and try to learn, I wonder how many times this wheel has been reinvented. There's tons of Big Ben Strategies. At least I see them posted and not ...

SRDC Episode I

Anyone not going to take the Euro trade? one site has the low hovering around support, and I'm straddling a fibo on my charts(23.6%). Made money last week, but I'm a little iffy about the fibo. I may still go long if the opportunity comes. Or does ...

SRDC Episode I

Last two weeks it feels like every dollar positive news acts dollar negative. It dips on release for a second, then retraces. From what I've been watching...did I miss something?

Michigan Consumer Sentiment

I'm afraid of it spreading for the wrong reasons too. Made my first $$ today on euro/dollar. I agree Cable is a little dodgy, the HOD is right on resistance. I want to trade yen, but it's soo high I'm not sure how to handle it. Will it encounter any ...

Eur & Gbp — I'm pretty sure I've been through all the postings by now, so I don't think I've seen this. Anyone do, or suggest trading both the euro/dollar and Cable? The last few weeks both trades have been opening at almost the same time, ...

SRDC Episode I

I was mad I was stuck in a demo. Someone posted about what happened after the last BOE rate hike, so I found a trendline, surfed it for two days. Almost 200 pips. Live and learn, if there's only one trade to ever do....

Holy Mackrel!!! The Bull Run Of The Gbp/jpy

December 2006 is only almost a month of testing. Maybe if he said 2005 that would be impressive. Though, in 3-4 weeks that's still really good. Let's say, for pure fantasy and arguements sake, that you get stopped out with a 20s/l as you would with ...

I don't know about you or anyone else, but I'm going to forward check/back check all my trades for now on and log all the retracements prior to it hitting 5pips Take Profit. I want to see what the numbers are per pair, because if unnecessary, like ...

SRDC Episode I

Taken form the SRDC II thread from OR's rules: I hope Dr Who counts. Maybe I'll be accepted if I think up some quotes. At any rate, I was wondering if I can verify some stuff from last night. First my Cable trade didn't get activated. I closed it ...

SRDC Episode I

$1000 x .01 = $10 for the month. Does this mean you're making a lot of gains to offset your losses to only be losing 10 bucks a month? Sounds like you're being broken by one or two trades IMO. Plus, to turn $1000 into 1million pounds sterling at the ...
