For what it is worth, my biggest gain to date was with EUR/CHF. However, I tend to agree that it doesn't move as fast. As for Feb.....good question. Although, I would suspect that there aren't too many things to write about during the holidays for ...

I believe it has something to do with an average price of the German Mark.....but I could be wrong. I know the DM is used as a proxy by some of the old guard.

Hey Fab - Last time I heard, your wife was going to find out if you are having a boy or girl......so which one is it? We are still about 4 weeks from knowing ourselves. Clockwork

I have to chime in here.... I have found that typically 4 hour and Daily entries/exits tend to be very similar. The main difference of course is that a 4 hour stop can be smaller. However, at the end of the day, I don't think it matters much, as ...

Thank God I have my boots on. I think I just stepped in something.

I am starting and need your advise

I have to second Tiki's comments. But, more than likely it will take a blow up before the realization takes hold. I have seen this before. I do, however....wish you luck. Clockwork

Excellent! Let us know if boy or girl. We found out two weeks ago, there is another one on the way for us as well! We wont know if boy or girl for another 8 weeks I believe. Maybe they can learn to trade together? :-) Clockwork

Yes, we waited to get married until after he was born. I know, not conventional......but she was in school, and he had to have several surgeries as a newborn. So, in the scheme of things, we felt it could wait. (he is 100% healthy now......thank God ...

Thanks all. — Hi all - Wanted to thank you all for the best wishes. It went really well, except that my 2 year-old son decided that he couldn't be bothered to wear his suit and walk up with us. He had more important things to attend to, as it ...

Nice name.

Feb - Looks like I picked a great time to be busy.....getting married tomorrow. Besides, there are a lot of potential traps in the market at the moment. (Am I wrong, who knows? Who cares?) None-the-less......I will look at the weekly bars on Sunday. ...

I agree with this 100%. There is nothing more heartbreaking than closing out a winning trade when it would have held up. I will do you one better......I originally had roughly a 1.81% risk on this trade...... See those two hammers on the 15 min? I ...

I took this pig too, and came back today from work to the current mess. I read something about yet another round of panic-trading in NY today.....some bank is going to write off a ton of bad debt. Is this still news? Sooner or later, apathy will set ...

As I gain trading experience, I find this to be so true. It is nice to get a little better price, but in the end shouldn't make a huge difference. So you only captured 729 pips, instead of 739......it isn't worth worrying about. We all have dreams ...

Phil - I bet you 30k I can do it even faster.

How much money can a seasoned semi-pro make with trading on Forex?

do yourself a favor, and buy Forex Tester. I use it from time to time, and it's only about 100 dollars. I have found this program a God-send. You CAN test with MT4 (somehow), but I have heard nothing but complaints about it..... Clockwork

How can i backtest a strategy on meta trader

I would refer to the old saying that goes something like this: "When price climbs, it takes the stairs.....when it falls, it takes the elevator." Most corrections are quicker than the normal uptrend. (I am not even looking at the EUR/USD, EUR/CHF, ...

I agree with this statement 100%. As far as the USD/CHF trade, I don't know....naturally it seems that the Franc buying may cease a little here, but let's be honest - one of these trades is with the overall trend, and one isn't. If you go long with ...

This attitude will lose you many pips. Let me explain: You are basically saying in this above quote that you are NOT willing to put any thought into this. Forex is a business, nothing else. There will be losses, and there is the spread. You cannot ...
