Dang. I was totally unprepared for the stupid FOMC and Turkish interest rate decisions today. They messed up my trading for the day. In fact, I didn't even know about them until after-the-fact. I spent all day trying to break even, and finally just ...

Think I'm going to call it a night now... I've learned too many times what can happen when you keep pushing it and force trades that you otherwise wouldn't have made... just for the sake of... trading. Thank you Capelli, and best of luck to you as ...

BOOM, BOOM, and BOOM...! - $11 that first round + $415 the second round that's mmmm, about... $200 an hour?!?! I'll take that any day!!! +45% in the last hour, w00t! That was probably the best I have traded... but damn, was I ...

buy now, last chance, i think i might load up on some calls here for this round.

USD/JPY Discussion

Arghhh.... -$11 that round And now I f'ed up my timing for the next round, because the breakout has already begun. I know it could have been worse, but ugh... I expect so much from myself. I should have doubled my money again here or at ...

Some nice moves here. How you guys been trading?! I've been good. Just turned the last $40 of my deposit back into $950, within 2 days (since Sunday market open). Using binary options. $949.50, to be exact. Check it... biatch! ...

No, no, Mpt, don't do that! You took it the wrong way. I think that was my bad and improper attempt at a joke. Your posts are some of the most useful ones here. Why else do you think I've subscribed to you? Please do not let my miserable sense of ...

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

Oh Mpt, gotta love all of your IF, IF, IF scenarios. Just wondering, have you ever tried making a bold assertion and sticking to it? Or do you always trade after-the-fact, with confirmation only? I'm not trying to poke at ya man, and no harm meant, ...

I love this thread too. It is a good replacement to the GBP/JPY thread that I was very active at. Of course, we don't mind. Please do... come here more often. We want to hear your input, so long as you have something worthwhile to ...

On that point, I will say that Magix is one of the better -- or best -- traders on this forum... at least from my observations. Prick or not, I think it'd be wise to at least listen to what he is saying. After all, we're all after the same thing ...

It's much shorter than that, if that is even possible. My average trade duration is probably 1-2 hours, occasionally a bit more -- depending on my perspective. But I am a very short-term, very aggressive scalper by nature.

Let's just say... well said, my friend To get back on topic, I guess I will start... looks to me like U/J is going to range between 102.00 and 102.50 for some time, and then eventually break higher. It also may just bust through 102.50 ...

Guys... please don't turn this into yet another thread for trolls. I am trying very hard to revive it and, even though I am not the thread starter, I'm quite sure that troll talk here is not appreciated here by anyone. This thread is meant for ...

USD/JPY Discussion

just wondering if any of you are paying attention to the JPY trade balance data that just came out? i usually don't pay attention to this type of news, but i thought i'd ask anyway. data came in better than expected which, from my understanding, ...

USD/JPY Discussion

I would like to share why I also SUCK at trading... It's pretty simple, really. I have an AWESOME system, but I can NEVER follow it (consistently)... even after years of experience. When I do make a good trade, it's usually just a matter of ...

Why you suck at trading

Haha... trying to catch up here slowely but surely, and some of these posts are indeed quite funny. I agree with Magix on this one, and buddy, I already told this Tod guy that he needs to learn technical analysis... because he is not doing it right. ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Damnit!!! Yeah you are right, although I don't expect to hit 103.30 or even 104.00 for that matter. If only I could follow my F'ING system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is sooooo good but I have NOOOOOOO discipline. If I ...
