Not watching EUR today but still short AUD/USD from last week - could do with a push down into the next PPZ

I think its a normal bounce, may go upto 1.4125. Many players at this level. Gold at key level of 1,600.
there is no gold correlation !!!! so it don't matter what gold does IMO gold is being bought in force..
i have a few posistion on gold running lowest at 956. Im trying to break a record and get 10,000 pips out of it so need 1956. maybe in a few months ill get it and an entry in the guiness book of records i hope for the best trade ever executed by a retail trader. surley the queen will make me into a Dame or something for this accheivment.

only DOW

i don't scalp as I can't do it tried and its good until price starts going on a run and the scalp is -20 -30 -40 all scalp points have gone.

I posistion for a daily trade normally sometimes I keep them on for the whole week.
I trade daily charts as well and hold them until they reverse and take out my stop (I move it 1R at a time). If possible I like getting a really tight entry on the 4H or 1H for a 30 pip stop and 200+ pip runner

Don't get these all the time but they're sweet when they come off.

Same thing was told about greece a year back... about 10 times in last 2 years...

I won't rule out anything... given that Italy's debt is 120% of GDP.. they have borrowed more than that of what they can pay.... in these stress tests weak ones will be the victims
Oh sure debt % GDP ratio is as bad as the US or the UK but still peanuts in comparison with Japan but thats relative terms. I am referring at public finance. They barely need to raise money from abroad plus even the impact of the current bond markets is insignificant relative to the size of the Italian economy and public budget (which is strangely above the 0 line)....

Italian banks are not that much exposed to Greece and others. The disadvantage of having a very close and local banking system becomes a very good advantage in the current circumstances...

In any case, we'll see what the politicians bring to the table.

My broker GFT at 5 am NYC time,....if ure act is under 100% RL your positions get liquidated,...so i was at about 97% on all acts and that did it,...its a safety feature that i find very annoying but sometimes useful,..
Are you sure about that? Positions getting liquidated at 5am NYC time. Asking cos GFT is also my broker and that doesn't happen. Been with them for close to 4 years now. Are you using the 360 platform or the MT4?
Don't just beat the markets, leave bruises.

I just left GFT for Oanda, was using their DB360 platform and hated it. At rollover they liquidate your position and open a new one where price currently is + extended spread (the moved it 24 pips once).

Also the 3 days to settle your balance after closing out a trade and 'finance' charges are all too expensive for me.

Anything will work once in a while.

As the price was just down to 02/04 a stop @ 19 wouldn't make a lot of sense to some of us.

Mmm Beginning to look like a pullback to about 1.425 (plus a lot of slippage) to me and then another retest of 1.4. So I'm out of my shorts for a little bit now.
I operate with clear definite rules, if I break them I lose BIG!
