Spot FX Day Trader's Thread

Do you like Burger King or mcDonald's better? BK is offering me $7.50 per hour plus decent health benefits and the hat is much cooler than McDonalds..

I like McDonald's healthy fishy filet thing. This threads main man can't be dishing out fast food! I'm looking at a cadjpy short on the back of oil braking it's lower trendline support

It's alright.. I actually have a masters in computer science from UT. I can get a job for $100,000+ at will, but there's a huge problem.. there's no will. I like this and I'm good at this, but I'm not in tune at all right now. I now have 4 months of reserves and $9,200 in margin. It's getting ugly, but I'm nowhere near panic stage.

That one cracked me up.

I hope all works out well for you. the pursuit of happiness....isn't it a wonderful thing?

I used to crack up my ex-wife simply by disrobing so I'm taking a major step in the right direction..

Glad to hear that, I knew you were a well educated chap! I'm lucky I suppose as I'm in employment and can get a chance to do trading here and there. I must say I enjoy this much more than flying although the contrast between the two is good & I guess it takes the pressure off as it's not my main source of income. Hope it works out for you mate and I have the feeling it will because I've followed your trades for a while now and know how 'bang-on' you can be and I've learn't a lot from your posts as I think many others do. You've also got a feckin great taste in music! Have you considered part-time DJ !?

Who me?

Explosive Dave Mustaine guitar riff at the beginning is worth it.. Motorhead rip off but so what?

Hmmmm.. speaking of Dave..



2:47 - 3:25

Just been to see Metallica a few months ago in Belfast, awesome! Order in to short euro@12715 with -35 stop and that's me for the night

Euro short filled in the night, up 90 pips. I'm really bearish on the euro, durable goods & new home sales to contend with later. I can see this baby heading back to 120 in the next few months.

Durable goods lifting euro, now we need bad US new home data to counteract the downgrade of Ireland & I'm jumping in short euro again. Closed previous short for +85 a bit early.

1 lot short now from 12651, await push higher to get in larger short eu. The US might have bad news but the EU government debt looks worse, check out Ireland, Greece, Spain etc.

Short again euro at 12673, going to add to it if it makes 127+, thought home data would push it a bit higher but there's time yet

closed two thirds at 12630, nice one, going to short again if reasonable pullback

I'm going to short GJ on a little more strength.. positive equities will make it unravel and I'll be there to smackify it right back down.

I'm short GJ 130.9 s/l -20 .. no more big stops for me.

Shorted the GBP/USD @ 1.55514.

SL somewhere around 1.5565.

Target= 1.5540 or so.

Short EUR/USD @ 1.27119.

That was quick.

2 PIP profit.

Once again put in my SL a bit too quick. Made 3 PIPS.
