Ok guys I'm calling this a week........a really bad one I should say !!!!

Took a hit from the market......problems with my broker etc...etc...lost all my profits but at least the core of my account escaped intact.

Well.... I guess I've got to lick my wounds this weekend...and comfort myself with the fact that my initial capital is still there.

I started trading march 28 with no prior experience and a micro-account of 120 bucks....made it to 520..now it's back to 130 or so!!!! I'm sad because I was emotionally attached to it, not for the money itself.

My main account(real $$$$$$) that I've been trading for the last 2 months got hit too.....but not that bad...so I guess I'm still in luck !!!

A word for the newbies here...maybe one more voice of advice will open some newbies eyes to the fact that " surrender to the fact that volatility exist or volatility will make you surrender to the fact that surrender exist"

God bless us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad what happened from your broker, hope you can solve this, but on the otheside I call it a week except for today, I didn't trade, but I made good profit the last days, I won't trade till I check what is going to happen on Monday, believe me Monday most of the time clears the rest of the week for me, and can give me clear signs what to do next.

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Lehman Brothers (LEH) said Friday it now expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates 50 basis points in 2007 rather than its previous expectations that the central bank would leave the Fed funds rate steady through the end of the year.
"We now think the Fed is more likely to cut rates than remain on hold," Lehman Chief Economist Ethan Harris said in an e-mail note.
The big bank's change in forecast comes on the same day the Fed announced changes in its primary credit discount window facility, including a 50-basis- point cut in the discount rate "to promote the restoration of orderly conditions in financial markets."
Drew Matus, a Lehman economist, added that the investment bank's forecast change isn't a response to the Fed's action Friday. "We have been planning a change," he said.

i think you are in the wrong mind set by even asking this. thinking about this.
I don't have mind sets.

I don't stop trading when i achieve "happy" goals, and i don't trade more when i'm late. I just like to achieve something, like a 100m runner likes to beat his own marks by improving himself, and for me, improving is not about rising leverage, as i told you before.

I just asked a curiosity opinion to a short term trader who is not bonded with decades of losses or decades of low gains, hidden probably by big family fortunes that they have no credit about.

This ppl opinions have been rulling around for sometime, and i don't care for them. I prefer to care about traders who are not always saying that they run hedge funds, live in Miami, and charge 100 dolars to teach pin bar strategies.

aiming when you know that market gives what it gives and takes what it takes.
Don't get me wrong here... but i have to say one thing. I understand exactly what you mean because i also had all of the normal bad days and good days a trader has.

However...

I've been around on this forum for about 6 months now, and do you know what i'm realizing? I don't trade like anybody here.

I'm not saying who is wrong or right, believe me. But... is the truth plain and simple. I'm probably the only one around here who is not trying to pick a bottom today, or that didn't tried to ride the global collapse wave yesterday.

Because i know that considering the risk, this waves are not life changers or account 1000x multipliers. And since they are not normal, if we master the normal market conditions we will do fine.


Quoting bravado
you should just trade and not care about what the average quota for pips per month is.
That's what i do.

But i care about percentage... because let's face it, if you don't care about your rate of gains how should you know if this is a right business to be for our entire life?

If you just trade and withdraw it, how should you know what will you have, if you hold the money there for some years?

We must have "happy" goals, or else, we are wasting our time. I'm confortable saying this because i trade the charts and fundamentals, not goals.

I think Cable is chasing weak longs. Dow is above 1% , yen croses are not falling and Euro is far away from the main support
Johann Channels and cycles are everything

Try to leave your broker and go for another one, Oanda is too bad from my point of view, luckily I didn't have an account with them, I only had a demo one, but this was from a long time

That is most likely a good thing.

Well the first part is a good thing, the last part a wasted opportunity in my eyes IF your way of trading supplied you with a SETUP.

So stop is twice as big and the move is twice as big. Same risk, same reward, same setup logic as always. Just the numbers change. Just adapt.
I realized that when you start overleveraging in these "quick money" situations you end up making a lot fast and losing half of it at the same speed. Instead I risked the usual % per position on almost all setups and made quite handsome returns...

Well it would help to see that you actually ENJOY it first. No good to have a great income if it sucks having to do it. Personally that's the reason I'm working hard at forex.

Obviously the point is compounding and reaching a few mil-/billions.

As for the virgins - most people prolly love them because they can't tell whether you're lying or not when you say that that was just "really really good" since they have nobody to compare you to...

Warper,

You have some imagination. I do have some in my family who are very wealthy. Not me though. I am OK but everything I have is from my doing, without seed money either.

Some of what you say are exactly what I used to think. I still have a lot to learn from others but mostly from the markets themselves. If you want to have % goals, good. But the true object of trading is to trade right and the profits will follow.

Now I know what I have to say is meaningless to you, so listen to Bravado and Cesar then. I am sure they have goals, but you can't force the market to give what is not there.
