So you were at $50K before?.... yeah, if (IF!) my account ever reaches that level, I figure to be trading about 5 lots at a time.

My hero! (But I'm gonna wait till later to install it... I'm paranoid it could crash things, so I don't wanna be in the middle of something )

EURUSD

My platform won't let me do that

EURUSD

~200 pips above where we are now? I don't think it'll get there. (Of course I've got about 1/1000th the amount of experience as most people here, so there's that. )

EURUSD

Hey, I hear a lot about price tending to "fill the gap" not long after there's a gap up/down opening. Is that generally true?

EURUSD

Okay, now I've GOT to try that! Should make trading lots more (maybe TOO) relaxing, eh?

EURUSD

The only thing that's gonna be opening today (or tonight/early AM, US time) is Asia, right?

I know your comment was from a couple weeks ago, so you may not see my reply now. Anyway, I scalp too, though not as actively as you do... but I'm wondering about your "always 2 positions at once" point. I SOMETIMES have 2 or 3 positions open at ...

How often do u trade?

Wow Ken, thanks... between you, tyrant, sisse, and some others on here, I'm gonna be a pro in no time. Now all I gotta do is learn how to do the little things. You know, like consistently letting winners run and cutting losers quickly.... just ...

EURUSD

Thanks a lot. And you went way beyond just answering my dumb question... and I really appreciate it. Because actually, that was my main reason for asking. I mean, that the numbers on that exchange rate site seem to be telling a story that might not ...

EURUSD

Okay, that xe.com site that has live exchange rates... how does that correlate to Forex prices? I thought they were linked, but where is that site getting their numbers from if all the markets are now closed? I'm asking because there's a huge ...

EURUSD

Rut roh!! I just sold 500 lots at .0886 based on your recommendation!!!

EURUSD

Yeah, but really... how hard can it be for them to make a little programming change to allow trailing stops in pending orders?

EURUSD

I've never had it happen to me yet, but it obviously happens. TONS of horror stories from the day the Swiss went insane, for instance.

EURUSD

My account is with MBTrading, and I use cTrader. I know that's not very common, but it's what I learned on (or AM learning, I suppose), so I hesitate switching to something else. Unless "trade manager" is something that can be added to ANY platform? ...

EURUSD

Yeah, but I hate setting hard TPs. I'd much rather set trailing stops... but unfortunately the trading platform I use doesn't allow trailing stops to be included in pending orders. Seems like a simple thing to me.

EURUSD

Sorry, but that's just funny. Fortunately I'm not allowed to hedge here (US citizen)... cause I'd no doubt have tried it by now if I could have.

EURUSD

Yeah, you pretty much just described my first experience trying to catch a big news move. Your mind is going "Oh no! Wrong way, lemme try this. What? Wait! I thought you just went that way, NOW you come back? Okay so then... NO! God hates me!"

EURUSD

Ummm... nope, I started to watch it and... just nope. I think I'll go watch Randall talking about the honey badger, though!

EURUSD

I tried that once, just after I first started trading (not that long ago). But I forgot all about the spread, and how HUGE it can be at that moment. Also that sometimes a move in one direction may only last a few seconds and then reverse, then ...
