just finishined seeing my first 2 patients and i miss a good portion of this move
damn!
Thanks MPP. Big swings are in play.
Unfortunately it's all real live trading and the tens of thousands are real losses sustained.
Unfortunately I closed out my positions when it broke even at my entry price after seeing USD/CAD plunge by 100 pips to 0.9056 ....
I bought a put and a call option for 0.9250 expiring 23 November 2007.
At the moment it's a loss unless a big movement of more than 200 pips occur from the 0.9250 either side to break even. Anything more than 200 pips to start seeing profits. Any thoughts?
I just checked out Jacko's thread, it looks pretty good.
What is 'AJ' in the text "...and I am learning and liking HM which i trade on AJ"

Hi J
how are your trades looking now, seems things are coming around. if you wish to trade with the trend then i suggest you look at Jacko's thread, i find that trading 2 systems works for me, Jacko's for long term (less trades but less loses and more winners) and I am learning and liking HM which i trade on AJ.
definatly agree that you should learn money management before putting real funds into play, hope your not using real cash yet, you need to find the system first. this thread is about the most reliable from a call point of view, but remember you must learn how to trade, other wise should HM ever decide he's made enough money to travel the world in places were FF can't be reach, you'll be buggered.
when trading don't think about how much money your making, look at it in terms of %, s you get better at trading you can always increase the capital to reach a target money amount, but you need the % return. winning 10cents on a $1 trade may sound like nothing but it's actually 10%.
best of pips to you, and congrates on finding FF, it's great here and everyone (well most) are more than willing to help.

I grabbed a couple of quick shorts from 236.70. +20 and +90, momentum is my friend.
nice

todays been a bad day for me
im decided not to trade anymore for today
--i went against my rules
-- i tried in last 2/3 days to take half /half postions of entry if anyone noticed---it is not the way i trade and it made everything complicated--my loss!---today i tried taking 3 postions /trade and thats why i found it difficult to post too and more over i took those trades in a range period where i rarely trade in that time (had the frustration from missing the good asian trade as i had posted earlier)---i was trying something else again---didnt work either. Im goin to stick to the oriiginal way im trading from tomoro. None of this nonsense
--anyways--im done for today
goodnight everyone

don't worry mate
I understand how you feel.
you're in the best country on earth, simply because I love Perth, Aussie where I live
I admire how you decide not to trade anymore for the day after losses and missed opportunities.
That is something I need to do to because the more I try in a losing day, the more I continue losing
I have undergone tremendous whip-saw today in many currency pairs, it's just unbelievable. It's like my stop keeps getting hit before my limit is eventually hit. During these times I wished I did not put a stop loss
