Say, I haven't looked at the Swiss Franc. How's it holding up? I know you keep an eye on it.

hi Eye

yes i know where you are coming from,

believe me, i started trading like a headless chook, i am caught up in the short term trades the quick pips, i quickly realised this is the quickest way to LOSE money

so now i am only trading 5-6 times a day and looking at the 1 day and 4H charts opening the position in the morning (australia time and closing around 9pm) i may keep some positions overnight, i feel uncomfortable keeping positions overnight when i am sleeping.

yesterday i bagged $230 my best ever result by looking at the longer time frames, i know im not going to do this day in day out, my aim is $100 per day and i slowly want to build my balance up, slowly patiently!

whats the ideal risk percentage? is 3.2% over leveraged too?
yes till your consistantly making money.. then maybe you can move up.. the rabbit doesnt win this race..1 % is enough to start but if your losing money more times then not reduce this percentage...

well my first opinion , i am looking for sell signals as soon as it shows up atm i will be watching 2950 and if broken i will watch 2985 i don't think we are going to see 3000 but if we did i think it might act as the resistance that can make the price break the support 2900
i am in good situation i guess

Anyone remember those economic commentators in around 2004-2007 who used to say that the boom / bust cycle was a myth? No longer possible?

3.2% of what?

What's your risk tolerance?

I could give you 10 different answers and they would all be right. But only one would apply to you.
3.2% of my total trading account.

Risk tolerance is 40 pips down.

open size acount is 8% of my total account.

now is it ok? or way too big?

please remember i am a newbie, only started trading in February, this is money i can lose, i pretend the whole $4000 is gone, i put it down to $4000 worth of experience, i am surprised ive lasted this long,

hopefully i wont blow the account but i am mentally prepared for it!
Just because you are a newbie doesn't mean you have to become another statistic. Find another broker where you can trade micros, go an a demo until you really learn the ropes and save yourself some money and headaches. Just my opinion.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!!

Let's use unlimited leverage.

Seriously! Let's do it. Fuck money management.

If you're overleveraged enough, if you make money, it's yours to keep and if not, you get bailed out.

So what will it be? 1,000,000 to 1? 100,000,000 to 1? Nah! Let's not be pussies! 1,000,000,000,000 to 1.

i think size of position should be as big as you feel comfortable, i use 5-15% and doing o.k.. My idea is, if you have made good analysis and adding on positive movement why not increase posistion size.
