Archie, Thanks for the pdf of trading in the zone. I had just finished reading the thread and was going to search for the book. I'll be back to post something worthwhile after I read it. Terry

When I win trades I am able to pay my expenses. This means spending money in my local community. Anytime you spend money in your community you are, hopefully, supporting local businesses. When I lose trades I am supporting someone else. All in all, ...

Here it is — I have attached the EA you requested. I'm not sure it's what you wanted but give it a shot. I ran it through the strategy tester on the EURUSD for the last month but with only 1 minute data the results aren't very good. Maybe it ...

Curious — I'm curious enough about this to write an EA and see what it will do. Obviously I have no idea if it will work or not. I'll report back when it's ready, probably about 24 hours from this post time. Terry

why? — Pippy, What did you base your long position on? gdf

I'll settle for consistently profitable. Constantly profitable sounds like too much work.

I like Merlins answer; speculator. I tell people I'm a currency speculator. Suprisingly some people actually know what I'm talking about. Sadly most just change the subject. Terry Walters

I have found that watching dollars makes me nervous. When I started trading mini's with 1 pip valued at 1 dollar it was no big deal. When I bumped it up to a full contract for the first time and 1 pip became 10 dollars it was a bit different. ...

I have traded all three, as most of us who have been around a while have. I currently trade only breaks or bounces through or off of support and resistance lines. I don't trust anyone else to determine where these lines are but determine my own ...

There are a number of people who make a living trading only the pound. I don't trade it exclusively but looking back on my trading history for the last few months most of my trades have been on the GBP/USD pair. Terry Walters

confidence — I haven't read the books but whenever I have a confidence problem, and I believe everyone does occasionally, I will drop my contract size to the smallest possible that my account allows. For my account this is a mini ($10,000 ...

If you are going to trade fundamentals you must study them yourself. Don't rely on what other analysts say. If you are going to trade technicals, again, you must study them yourself. In my personal experience, when I listen to what analysts say ...

Since I talk to myself anyway — Since I talk to myself anyway I always record my own messages. Hearing my own voice in the wee hours of the morning (I'm in US Central Standard Time zone) doesn't startle me like an alarm clock does. I record ...

Early on in my forex training — Early on in my forex training I purchased several trading strategies from various people. Some of these were good systems and some were scams. I learned something from all of them. Then I found FF. I've learned ...

when you're right you're right — I should have seen that. Must be getting tired.

here it is — else if (iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE > rsihi))

exactly what I was looking for — Ed, That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Terry

only your deposit — The retail broker will close any open trades that you have when your margin requirements are exceeded. For instance, a mini contract with my retail broker (cms) ties up $25 of my money. If I begin to lose money and my ...

one liners — How about the truths that can be derived from one liners. Like "It's better to be outside a good trade wishing you were in, than inside a bad trade wishing you were out." Don't remember who said it but to me it says that there's ...
