mtrmth's trading chatfest

i have been an avid reader and sometimes poster for some time. i have always wondered if i should have my own post or not, but most have one, so i decided to try my hand at this. so here goes.

i am hoping to keep this lite with regards to any subject, but more leaning to actual trading discussion. discussions like where the dollar is going, where the markets are going, maybe even where commodities are going. the more info the better for all of us in our quest to make money.if it is an opinion, please state so. i know people like to use news flashes as fact, though it ends up being some trader's opinion from a big trading house. if you post, expect a question from me if you are expressing a direction in the market. i do not know everything. i want to know more. i want this thread to be very informative, but fun as well.

we can discuss most anything, since just talking about trading will stress any one out, let's just keep this civil, OK??? thanks.

ok, first question for anyone: where is the dollar going??? and why??? is there going to be any effect with the ecb and the gbp central banks rate decisions this week??? what about unemployment in the u.s.??? why is oil so high??? and will that make the commodity currencies lose their minds this week???

question 2: what systems do use to trade??? what signals do you use and why and what makes them usefull to you???

question 3: does anyone scalp??? what trading time frames do you use??

answer to question number 1 (where and why):

thanks blacksun!!! at least i am not alone in that sentiment. new trading strategy for me, short the dollar, put all my winnings in a UBS account in switzerland. cool.

amen to that brother

Seeing as UBS has agreed to disclose names of suspect American depositors,unless you've paid taxes or aren't American, that's not too wise.
If it's a few grand may be ok,but who knows how far they are searching?

Or just take the cash and hide it somewhere,buy gold bars,buy food and store it,whatever.
Or leave in a trading account and get ROI,a CHF bank account just costs money.

The UBS deal is just a dog and pony show anyways......

all i have to do is put a "d" after my name and they will leave me alone. they are only looking for republicans!!!

i wonder if the grand caymans are available???

nope. there was a story a few weeks back about the Supreme Overlord of America (SOA) wanting to eliminate the caymans as a tax haven. his team found a bunch of businesses registered under one address and decided that they should all have to pay back the taxes they didnt pay with interest, even though they LEGITIMATELY did business in another country and followed their tax rules. retarded.

i used to love this country (or at least the idea behind it) but now, it just depresses me thinking about it. i swear i'm gonna move out to the hills of new zealand someday.

to be honest, so do i. but i do know that the electorate is pissed as seen on tv at the town halls. darth vader(nancy pelosi) is trying to make it look like it is lies and dis-information, but the truth has come out even thought they tried to hide it. so much for transparency!!!! i think maybe this will wake up people to take a good hard look at their representatives to the govt at all levels and start to look at your politicians very cynically. i have for years, but i know i am in the minority. hopefully the independants will wake up. when this health care bills crashes and burns, so will the dems and obama( the anointed one), and once and for all some of the most senior reps will be sent home and the govt will get the fresh blood it requires so that this country will become great again. the halls of congress are stale and moldy, i just hope that the electroate will finally bring the industrial strength lysol and hose it down good.

actually, i was going to buy my own island with proceeds from my trading, then i would not havet o pay taxes to anyone, as i would be my own country!!! it would be populated by all those hot chicks in ceasar's thread!! lol

don't let your heart be troubled blacksun, the rebellion is gathering momentum, and a new tea party is coming, in washington D.C. and the royalty residing in the white house today will see what happens when you take a giant dump on the heads of the american people!!

hope nobody is sending this as a "fishy" e-mail to the white house!!

i see tha ubs deal was interesting. just a small number of the supposed 50,000 account holders are to be revealed, and now the swiss govt is bailing out of UBS. interesting.

nice to hear of a 1.5 trillion budget deficit for the U.S. govt. no big deal!!! can i have .01% of that, i would be happy!!

trading time. next week we go live. this could be fun. will let everyone know hoe i do. not going to risk much at first. i know smart move. i still have issues with emotions, but how can you not??? i do not like the people on here that say you must trade without emotion. they sound like the people who say there aeren't scared in combat or doing extreme sports. most phsychiatrists would say they are crazy. i would agree. i think emotions would be a good tool, enjoy your successes, weep your losses, but do not lose control of your emotions. learn to take controll of your emotions as best you can, and use them to your advantage.

good luck on your new tread pal sound informative, I'll express my opinions once in a while if you don't mind, thnaks in advance
