I could but I have a pretty small account and doing so still doubles the margin requirements. I have thought about it though and figured once I built this account up a little bigger I might.

For the most part, I'm pretty content with trading just one way as "most" of my trades don't last that long. But every once in a while, when locked in nice profit one way, it would be nice to have the option of trading EO's way in the other direction as price ebbs and flows...lol

As I'm learning I try to stay focused on just 1 or 2 pairs but I guess it's...

You should be able to maintain 30%. Once you get you base account where you want it, you might want to back off, but I've started plowing again on my whole account instead of the base and I'm loving trading again.

Alright, now I'm out, I'll see everyone later.

Cover your trades, take profit and don't enter if you don't know why.

I know you said who you trade with but I forgot. LOL and to lazy to go look it up. IBFX I did anyway. Might send them a E-mail to see if they will open you a sub account might not have to transfer any money. Oanda Lets you set up your own subaccounts . Thats the way they got around the hedging thing.

Hope your trading is going well. Ken

KEY KEY KEY LEVEL we're at right now.

6310 is the line in the sand atm, we clear it, we will be visiting 628x-627x, from there, 624x, from there 616x. I have just filled a long position at 6319, SL is at 6308 1st TP of 6340 then the higher. If this area holds, it will keep us in the range we've been in. 628x keeps us there as well. That would be my next level to try a long position. My next TP on my short position is 6285.

This is a contra trade to how she's moving and that is the only reason I'm keeping my SL so tight. I'm playing the tweezer bottoms on the h1 with the DBLHC. Those who filled shorts at 6330, book some profit and cover your positions. Nice job on playing short out of the m15 10/21!
