I agree with tdion in some aspects. I think intra day is very, very tough. The reversals can get you very easy and the stops are very tough. Its not hard to go negative. I think the daily is much easier with bigger stops - not that you have to be ...

I think the market just sort of buzzzess around until you get up to the daily. Small money getting pushed around to the brokers whims. Not quite able to give you a good system to hit at it at at a high level.. ....... People talk about trend, I dont ...

neither- trade with no stoploss.

Who is best ? stop loss or trailing stop

I think the best traders don't have a system. I think indicators will beat you up if you follow rigidly. After a few years of trading, You kind of get an idea of a wound up market, expansion and contraction. I would rather eyeball the daily and ...

Trading at work

ma crosses systems are pretty much a joke-- the 200 ema can be used a little.. -----9/30 , 10/40, 8/80, 164, 5/34, 6/10/16, 5/8/21 .. They all will leave you with a thinner wallet. Just my opinion.

Why trade at the cross? Wait for the confirmation

tdion, what type of return are you looking at? My feeling is that as soon as the world says the dollar is worthless, you will see an improvment. so you probably are right...but how long do you hold! before it goes in the tank again.

Any interest discussing the Hedge strategies that were popular?

20% on an annual basis is a good return. But, I do think there are some folks out there doing 9000 pips a year. Losing 90,000 pips a year is also very easy if you don't have a system.

9000 pips a year after spreads

I doubt people put much into this. I cant figure what this system actually .. if its subjective then its not a 97% system. At best 40-60.. Not much for turtle trading. Forex will eat you up with the break out stuff.
