Jacko is not peddling a service. He's a long-time FF trader with some "followers" on his personal blog. He's helped a lot of people learn to trade, and shares text messages with them if they will pay a small stipend to cover his cost of cell phone texts on annual basis.

Not advocating this "service", just setting the record straight on Jacko. As someone else said, Twee knows of Jacko.

Is this an official apology for calling tamster and I morons because we believe in and are learning from and and using Jacko's teachings and trading counsel?
Maybe I should stay out of this, but I think the guy already said he's sorry.

How about that EUR/USD pair? Here's my current position... and for those that have followed my trades, this was not averaged into, it was taken at the place you see it, after playing some longs earlier.

has anyone actually called the nfa/cftc and asked them why they are banning hedging?
there was a petition last year that I signed to have this stopped but obviously the nfa doesn't care about what the people want they really only care about what the hedge fund guys want.

The funny thing is I called my broker friend who works for one of the platforms i trade with and he told me "that didn't pass, pure non-sense, nfa was just here they didn't mention it" when I told him to validate with his regulators I heard a shouting match.

I confess that I am clueless now reading my M30 chart.
My Daily trick me again, son of the b....., I was not waiting to see 1.3311 break.
I told yesterday that M30 PA was strange, I know why now.
I think it will hold there..however there's still to come the 2:15 pm ET news.

if you ever have a chance go to one of these expos i believe there is one in vegas in aug it is a very enlightening experience.

Everyone is there because they are losing but a booth there for 10k has the magic system that will make you a millionaire. I am going to vegas to harass gft about the hedging thing
Never went to any of those expos. You said it yourself, just being surrounded by losers, and gurus who probably went broke so earning from seminars instead

Yep. The original poster's problem, and I think you will agree with this, was when he said "if you can afford it" - or something to that effect.

Just felt the need to clarify Jacko's situation because he's genuinely a good guy and skilled trader.

Back to trading. Have a good one.

yeah....I called them a few days back...and their response was that it wouldn't benefit the retail trader....also, to protect us because we(the retail trader) doesn't understand how hedging works and the inherent problems of holding opposite positions for long periods of time...getting charged spreads on both positions....I tried to tell them that there were some inconsistencies in their reasoning but they said it was passed and to go suck a lemon...the last part is paraphrased.... http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

He who hesitates is hesitant....which always leads to bad entries.

Now EUR/USD seems to have broken on the upside on Hourly Charts. We will need to wait for the prices to remain above the upper trendline for next 2-3 4H Bars. Then we could be sure about the uptrend. We would wait for a few hours considering the fact that in the last few few weeks we had a number of false breakouts. Looks Bullish Those holding Short positions should maintain strict stops.

I went to both the NFA and SEC websites and found no such notice or rule change regarding forex or currency futures hedging!!!
