My reasoning is because of safety. To me, I would say it is a way to be in with virtually no risk until one pip goes green with the idea that it has peaked one way or the other, and ride the other pip down (or up). I can get into any brokerage as ...

For the most part, I'm a short term trader (ok scalper) and, of course, it is theory, I'm just wondering if anyone has done that sort of thing and been successful.

Hedging — Sorry to get off subject but has anyone started a position hedged? In other words buy a long and short together then what ever which way it goes close the green at a support or resistance, then double down? I've always wanted to do ...

How did you learn? — I would suppose by failing until your successes exceeded your failures. That's the learning curve. Newbies become oldbies and will still make the same mistakes--just less often.

Excellent!

That would be a big undertaking... I'm all for speaking freely. Even Chicky can say whatever even if he contradicts himself.

...following indicator.... ...and that would be?

If you want this thread for adults only, then why are you giving us the impression that you are a thirteen year old practicing out your swear words?

EURUSD

Then why did you say that if that was not your intent?

EURUSD

That wasn't my point at all. I don't care that much, however, I think those buzzwords are a cop out. I don't care how long you have been investing, there will always be times that you do something so stupid, you feel like a rookie yourself. I just ...

Wow. If I hear the 'rookie' one more time... — I think I will go berserk. Obviously the term here is used as a pejorative which, in a sense, defeats the idea of posting strategies and experiences in the arena of ideas. It's like now the ones ...

Is it me or do I find myself looking at... — currency pairs that does not have USD attached to it? Although I have more green experiences than red, the pips seem to be less. The risk seems to be higher in the sense that the direction (not ...

I wanna see GREEN... — beer that is. I hope there are some of you that will celebrate the Irish in ye! As we raise our glasses may the Lord keep you in his hand and never close his fist too tight. Beer, corned beef, and cabbage!

Well, it's about time we saw this pair... — turnaround. Hope for it to break to .9100. How'er, it is now time to celebrate the Irish that's in ye! Let's raise our glasses and may the Lord keep you in his hand and never close his fist too ...

Where have all the pippies gone, long time passing... — When will I ever learn, when will I ever learn. Wow! When I was at the bottom, I mean the low, I thought what a deal until it started going lower and lower and lower. I started at 9160 ...

I tried their Demo account and was very impressed. I plan to start with a small account and see what happens. Thanks for the info.

EURUSD

I'm along those same lines. The group I'm with, the consensus is that if we can get through 1.3880 to 1.3750, it might drop like a rock. It's what I'm hoping for anyway.

EURUSD

Good advice. I noticed you have a Dukascopy account. I'm planning to get a Dukascopy account soon due to the FIFO and hedge rules in US. I saw that contest. Is that complicated to enter?

Even though the trend has been up for a long time, I tend to short. So I'm in a couple shorts right now. I'm the guy that sees a 80 pip uptrend to capture a 25 pip short--go figure.

You have a great point. I have my nose against the screen just because I'm keeping everything close. Do I leave a lot on the table? Yes, but for the most part, I get out green. And for me, at least my disposition, I feel more at peace. I hope to ...
