Rally no, correction possible. Oil may return to more less overbought levels as well. Does anyone believe consumer spending in the US to be + anymore. The holiday season could be crushing to the dollar as well.

it's November 15th... it's a magical time. Time to haul ass to the calendar year's end.

yes, but it wasn't "just to get the good feeling" so it's OK

now thats the kind of thing you should really be able to find on your own if you want to learn, bob. kudzu and fxhermit made some good statements- "you gotta pay attention" the value i see in watching intraday charts is it gives much more intimate ...

well my usd/mxn short from mid march worked out ok, subprime or no where do we go from here ... i dont think ill hold the dollar longer than intraday til year end, and thats tentative at best. the rate cut/no rate cut scenario from the fed is a ...

as a winner, 0 profit. you covered spread or commission.

i guess you read some threads about trading without stops ? i realized sometime recently that i trade better when ive had more than two hours of sleep in the past week lol
