Excellent! Now are you ready to let Globaltech or Wizetrade have their data feed back and fund your own account?

Enjoy your vacation!
Thanks for the reminder... I just called and cancelled half my monthly costs by discontinuing the "4X Tracker" product...never used it anyway, I only kept it to have the ability of downloading training videos onto my MP3.... have a feeling I won't be needing that anymore. I'm getting better training here and with some of the books I've been reading lately.
Will continue to paper trade for now, though, and take a sampling after 1 month to check progress... once I'm at a consistent +, I'm going live! Don't know about a mini account, maybe a micro account, and get used to the real thing... I sure there are many opinions on this... I'd like to hear viewpoints if anyone is offering.

Good job bro! Now, to have gotten a better price, notice the 15m candle that fell hard with a wick? You could have set a PO for the price of the 35 and let it pull you into that market, booked 20 and covered once this 15m candle closes in 8m.

Good man! Don't worry about the size of your account, worry about the mechanics. Once you get the mechanics down, the account will grow and you can increase lot sizes then.

Anyone have any thoughts on my UJ swing? I'm thinking now if we closed the daily under the 100sma I'll be targeting 93.7x for possible target. Weekly is looking tired though. Monthly hints at 91 as a possiblity as well. Might just hold this on as well and turn to position on it.
I haven't traded uj in quite a while but looking at the daily, I see a shampoo with neckline broken.... maybe a pullback to 96.50 or 97 then down to 91.... though support should be in the 94.xx area....

Thanks bro! I kinda fell into the UJ swing. I just happened to look over and found her at 97.75 for my short position. I couldn't say no.

No worries bro! You should have booked 20 already and covered now. Next TP should be between 525x - 527x. You can see the sellers when she goes up into 524x. Look at the backside of the trendline on the 15m chart that I posted that should be on your chart as well.
