Thanks for calling me Brucie. Only my Friends do that.

I love nonsense at times as I never grew up after 64 years. Maybe at 65 when I get my Old Age Pension !!!

It still is OVER $100 and Bernake said NADA ! Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack went down again approaching $ 0.00 US of course.

The FED is financing the World. Profits are breaking out everywhere. The FED cannot raise. Housing is not at the Bottom. Lehman is looking for cash.

Contest or Not ! You are one of the best FX traders that posts here because of your discipline, excellent knowledge of charts and good understanding of the fundamentals.

It is just as well not to have a contest since I would lose to you.

Then my REPUTATION here would be RUINED !!!

Have A Great Weekend ... Thank You For Helping FX Traders here without all the NOISE !!!

Still learning how to trade FX for my clients !
I tried a competition last year.

The one with Rob Booker.

I was doing very well then I noticed my live account was up 1% in two weeks.

I can't multi-task very well and I find trading my live account challenging enough.

I love to compete but in this game I have to compete against me or I'll end up losing.

By the way... Do you know what they call the guy who graduates last in his class at med school?

Doctor.

If we both beat the market then neither of us lose.

The market is our competition.

There's no Grey area in our playground.

You win or you lose.

If you win by 1% a month - you're winning and that's all that counts.

You're going to need to manage some serious coin to live on those gains but in the end most don't make it.

But I'm more curious on how long it took prior to stringing together your first 3 winning months. In a row of course.

It took me about a year to string three winning months together but I also jumped every time I found a new 'grail' that I liked.

I must have tried 30 systems and spent $1000 or more on e-books.

Most of the e-books and real books are crap but several I learned a lot from.

Now I just read and study voraciously for the fun of it. Once I began winning day after day I never alter that strategy.

It's boring at times - like today - but patience pays off.
I trained under a mentor for about a year. Learned his way and still use a lot of that but have added other things to create my own rules. I have actually taught him some stuff now. My final test before going live was 20 straight days of trading. 2 trades each day for at least 5 pips. No negative trades. I turned my 100K demo act into 183K. After that I went live. It is very different and I had a bad month (Mar '08) that made me question everything, so I took a time out (Apr 'o8) , got back to basics and have been good ever since then. Trading real money is hard until you can separate the emotion. Believe it or not, too much info can be bad. It is easy to talk yourself out of a trade. If you believe in the technicals, then stick with that and trade what you see. If you follow fundamentals, then you are in for a wild ride because of all the news and all the opinions and things getting "cloudy". I keep an eye toward the fundies, but stick with the techno side. An example is Tuesday night when everyone here was saying buy. I saw sell on my charts and grabbed 160 pips on the dip before the buy became a good move Wed night into Thurs. Just my 2 pips ....

I hope so.

Time will tell.

It's hard though because I'm and ADD kid. (Medicated and everything)

Patience is so important.

Waiting for the market to come to you.

The pivots and psych levels really do make it a lot easier.

Thanks again.

Mike
You saying you're an ADD kid only gives me more hope I'll be able to catch on!

If I can win then most should be able to.

The question is always - how badly do you want it.

I'm too stupid to quit.

What ever "rally" we have next week, I'm shorting. Oil is going down, down, down. No question about it.
Oil is tanking (he he - I made a funny) and this pair remains somewhat afloat.

Why?

The DEMO account is so important. It gives you confidence. If you can't win in a DEMO account you can't win with real capital.

Lot's of good stuff there.

This pair should have sold off much harder today.

I'm a dollar bull... you know that...I just want to make sure I'm on him during the right 8 seconds.

Agreed. Monday should be very interesting. My suspicion is that oil will rebound slightly before the next downturn.
