I had one of these with eau. Took a long, it dropped immediately and it never looked back....for months.
Imagine you went short, set and forget...
I got two shorts open running for weeks, eur/aud and gbp/aud combined approaching 800 pips, and earning some interest too
Don't get mad, get even!

Its amazing how so many traders that are now successful have similar stories....I had a 1000 pipper against me .... It was literally 2 weeks after I went live .....I think I almost quit right after......but it almost takes a few WTF's to really get your head on straight...for instance.....

Ive had a great month....IM sidelined tonight.....Ida never done that even 3 months ago
Damn, I would never let a trade run that far against me. All it takes is that one close that says I'm wrong and i'm out.

But then again, the A/N was before I knew wtf I was doing. lol

I would not have the patience for that. Plus so many pips that are not made with these long runs... Not saying, it's a very valid way and probably not that stressful either.

Nice! I try and catch every single wave on the daily chart, so I will never see numbers that high, but generally I see around 150 - 400 depending on how things are doing.

Yep... i'm still tossing the idea up of even really learning to scalp when I quite my day job.

I've got a good thing going here and some nice rhythms, especially with euro, aussie, and swissy (primaries) and ninja & cable as secondaries.

Almost always have an order open with each of em, unless pa silliness is ensuing.

But regardless, between these currencies, I pull in more than enough pips on a monthly basis... would hate to go f it all up scalping.

Nope! I'm flat until the bulls decide to come back on the daily. Missed the short on the 4th, and I never enter a wave mid cycle.

Yep, I'll be their one day. I am truly torn by my current day job though... I make good money their too, but it's not about that... I actually have a genuine love for what I do; even if it does make me want to set fire to a litter of kittens every once in a while. lol

Few more years I reckon...

No Gov or state work due to severe budget cuts...institutions have been restrained as well ue to the reality of severe no growth (deflation) that will be here a while.....so there is really only 2 clients now.....uber rich and hospitals...both very extreme ends of the spectrum.....


I like trading much better....no phone calls, no idiots, just me against the machine.....
