I cannot believe the markets today, unbelievable. Thankfully I was on the right side of a trade and benefitted from the 'crash'. But Forex has a nasty sting in its tails. Plan your trade and trade your plan, know your trade and know your plan, manage your risk. Know what you are doing, if it goes wrong then hey. Monitor your trades, if your not performing then something is wrong! stop trading, re-evaluate. If you dont know why your not performing then you shouldnt be trading. It takes commitment and learning, also the desire to get positive...

the greatest thread !
Thanks buddy for everything
Mike
you can also walk out of your house tommorow and a lot of things happen
I get your idea of an edge believe me I do. More then you know. The great thing about PA and price is it's built into it. Your observing the market no matter the conditions before making the decisions. It's very flexible like that. This is why a lot of people fall in love with this type of trading and most other "systems" get crushed when dynamics change.
Best
Mike

100000 posts..
nice one, geniusztc!
Im getting out of the heat for a week starting tomorrow and heading for my favorite place, Northern New Mexico.
While im gone im sure we will reach 100,000 posts..
Hi all
Can anyone help rationalise this one?
im not sure/cant state which ones, but u can check commodities & stocks.
Gold dropped too. check aserbfx's YM chart above, several consecutive bearish days.
also, there seem to be a rumor of margin requirement increase for Gold (will look for the link). i believe this is bad news for Gold/commodities traders. (remember, back in July15, in Oanda at least, Gold & silver trading leverage was dropped down to 1:1)
PLEASE PLEASE GUYS I NEVER POST IN ALL CAPS
I HEARD OF TWO BLOWN ACCOUNTS TODAY ON PEOPLE IGNORING THE JAMES16 REQUIREMENTS. IT HURTS ME BECAUSE I CARE TOO...
all newer traders shouldnt follow the same path that people like I took.
blown accounts drain you physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially.
dont be aggressive, slow down, re-evaluate. practice A LOT. post #1 has a very serious purpose & they are meant for you.

Massive selloff in commodities as funds get shifted to tnotes on risk aversion.
they're probably paid to speak silly.
they're feeding the viewers a bunch of lies so the 'big traders' can cash in
....
I'm a well respect online PPP (professional poker player) and I don't know if you know that...
no wonder, u have an affinity for trading.
I have wondered about this myself actually. I would love to know Jim, from someone who has clearly build more than a few accounts.

happens.People get worried about future. Risk bad.
People sell stuff to reduce their exposure (read: risk)
Sellers > Buyers = falling prices
Falling prices scare more people.
More people sell stuff.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It's an indicator of credit conditions. Take the difference between yield on a treasury and the rate on a fixed leg of a swap - tells you how much *more* a business has to pay than the US government for debt of the same duration... basically telling you the 'risk premium' the market is placing on the biggest, strongest companies/banks... so when it goes up, the market is charging more for risk, ie risk aversion has increased.
In any big transaction (think a bond or equity issue), there will be a couple of banks involved. One of them is in charge - the lead manager.
an NZD bond issued by a non-NZD bank. See also Yankees, Kangas, Maples, Samurais (although there are a few classes in there, depending on whether they are issued onshore or offshore. Still, they have cool names. except the kanga.) Alternately: a bigass tree you see in NZ.
Primary market = new issues (where you buy direct from companies/banks/govt)
Secondary market = previous issues (ie, the 'stock exchange', fx market, bond market)
What do I win?!
