I had a 38pip loss yesterday because my damn server went down and I couldn't edit anything until I got home (also didn't help that those trades should never have taken place, the slow trix was still green when I entered). A zero day beats a losing ...

Exited all trades because I'm ready to go to the pub...ended up with 87pips after giving up a few.

I'm short EURUSD and AUDUSD...and long USDCHF. The last one hasn't really picked up yet, but overall I'm up 100pips so far. Happy days

Won't ever happen and I'd be out of a nice way to make money...but having said that, I agree with you. Especially commodity trading is pretty horrible, especially for developing nations as their food cost gets driven up far above income growth. ...

Hedge Fund Quits Because of Political Economy - Does it Affect Trading

Looks like price is stalling a bit in anticipation to the US guys waking up from their hangovers (winning drinks or losing drinks...they'll all have a hangover). Still up 93pips though, moved stop losses within 15pips of the current price because ...

As with everything in life, the rule is: adapt or die. If you read the "Turtle Trader" book and then bother to look up who kept their edge in the long run, you'll notice that most of them aren't still as successful as the book suggests. A lot of the ...

Hedge Fund Quits Because of Political Economy - Does it Affect Trading

There are a few on Codebase...but personally I prefer using fractals as support/resistance. Why? Because Fibs are still fairly subjective depending on which high/low points you pick...fractals are 100% objective.

THV system, final edition

I'm trading the same direction...up 85ish pips shorting EURUSD and going long USDCHF. Happy I didn't fall for the early morning fake-out. I was about to enter in the wrong direction when I noticed price started to stall...happy I was patient enough ...

MS is pretty bad, one of my best mates has it too. On the upside, thanks to new medicine it's often at least manageable. Either way, I'd start off with a smaller account unless you have a strong track record...the added stress from trading really ...

200k Account Question

I have to admit that this is a fairly basic question for someone trading with a 200k account. I work in the investment industry and it's something you learn after your first semester at uni. (My background is real estate investment though...but the ...

200k Account Question

Totally depends on your win rate and therefore risk of ruin. Pick the highest leverage that won't result in a high % of risk of ruin.

200k Account Question

Got my tablet back Will wait until US news before entering trades today. In the meantime, check out USDJPY, it seems to have MASSIVE upside potential given the US's quantitative easing recently. Jay Norris wrote a decent article about it.

Survey: Why 90% trader's failed?

Oh well...all trades closed at break even (+ spread). So annoying to be up 75pips+ and then not being able to exit trades when you want to

Bah, got kicked out of my EURUSD trade at break even. Hate not being able to manage trades manually at the moment...brutal to watch profits evaporate At least all of those trades surpassed the 15pip threshold, so I can't lose anything ...
