thanks for the views... i was worried you will abandon us jail birds
i think the dubai prob may create some whipsaw.. but the technical portion is rather bias to a bullish move...
hahaha i am not an expert in fundamentals nor technical i am a fundanical heehee
not just here. I'm becoming something of a recluse. I'm taking some time off (from offering my opinions) and just trading. I'm logging out after this post, but I'll read this and others. I think I'm just tired.
Good luck guys
I'm going back to just me for a time.

No, I've not left you. I just need to post less than others. I can't count the number of times I've started to post something and just deleted it

It is some sort of mental stage you are going through.
I have seen it happen with a couple of good traders that I know.
It was my spouse who knocked me on the shoulder at some time asking me if I wanted to trade and make money .......or keep help others and keep losing many times myself.
At times you need that other person to snap you out of it.
Good luck to you, you will be fine in time.

GOOD morning Koalas, another week, another month, some things change for this new month for me.
By the way FXDD is changing to NFA so I will not hedge, my leverage was changed from 200:1 to 100:1 (btw whats the purpose of this thing, lower is worst or best) and now FIFO, does this applies if I'm trading on other pairs? (So if I'm long and then my position go red, I open a 2nd position short to get some pips, I have to close the long first?) WTF they want to F**K us more?
I have a lot of questions

I have a lot of questions...
so now is $1 : $100
so if previous u trade micro lot : real life $10000 , margin is $50.
now, real life $10000 , margin required is $100 !
this means you will get margin call faster than 200 : 1 which can be a good thing since you will "save" more of your account.. but hey we are not aimming for MCs here right? ( ops i forget u are risk seeking koala
)2) no hedging means if you are long on a pair, no short.. short, no long
3) FIFO by right means if you have are trades, first, second, third. Should you want to close them, you have to close FIRST , SECOND , THIRD. no skipping... for my broker IBFX they have some kind of implementation so i dont have to do this but still comply.
ok hope i helped..

I add some new indicators to my charts, they are working great, they are from one guy banned from here and other forums, I had to customize a little to fit my screen, but its nice... the only problem I will have to buy a 52" screen now... just kidding I'm on my 14" laptop, and it looks ok, not too much thing on my chart, but it is for the season it looks like a Christmas tree LOL...
By the way talking about something else.. I got a headache, now 4 days with it, I'm not the regular guy that suffers from this, it's strange, hope it doesn't have to do with Forex. This weekend I spent some time analyzing all my positions, I realize that I keep from profiting aroun 4000 pips, only for not letting my longs run, all my TPs would have been hit if I let them run. So I will try to spot my entries for this month, and let them run all the way until I see a retrace... I think is better this way. so I will wait if I see a retrace to 1.48xx to open my longs, or if this trend continues to go up, will wait for a retrace to open one. but will not trade short.

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- The United Arab Emirates’ central bank eased credit for lenders and said it “stands behind” the country’s local and foreign banks as they face losses from Dubai World’s possible default.
