Hi Ken pretty good ) Today was a first day in institute,pretty interesting ) I miss trading ,no time now )And they have openings in a different state ,not Florida ,but Oregon ,or Texas or California ,so I have to choose )
Good stuff, sofia!

How long is it again...a full month? Pity about the trading...I would be scratching like a junkie!

Oooooh...decisions, decisions! Surely Oregon or California, no? Texas can be OK, just depends where...whole lotta State! At least there are options. The west coast is beautiful...head to toe.

Is your internet OK? Can't squeak a trade or two in?

Yeah...not too bad.

That is one place where I like being able to "hedge" my positions. It just means I can be scaling out while giving myself the option of flipping directions if I like the looks of a top, or bottom. Also...

The cool thing with Dukascopy...say I dropped in a few shorts to cover my longs, and I now have an equal amount of both sides...essentially flat. I can then "merge" all of the trades, as opposed to "closing" them. When you merge...no spread and no commission.

Top tip for an Dukas users if they didn't know that.

I'll start making sure my laptop is on. 17" MackBook Pro and I barely touch the poor bastard anymore. I'll leave it on in the evenings...give me a shout!

Glad you're doing OK. Markets will always be here!

Oregon is a cool State...stunning, too!

Take care, sofia.

Yeah...must be a bit of a bitch to have had those things...and then have them taken away! Not essential to skin the cat, but makes it a little easier.

All right. GN. Watch that 3155 area. It's going to be a bitch, and a possible turn around back to 3368.

Heavy traffic, alright. Pretty good band around that area.

Fak that's a lot! What do you have now...50? It would be incredibly rare for me to go anywhere near 50:1. Dukas has 100:1, but you won't get margin called until it hit 200:1. So you can add positions up to 100:1...then pray for it to come back up to 200:1. Can you imagine getting margin called like that? Its still good, its still good...come on baby, turn it around there now!

Im in a pretty rare idealistic camp about leverage ...my background is in realestate deals...so Lev is the way. This gig is so much easier with 200:1 lev...I was playin 10-30 lots on average and just slaying it... the lev helps u scale in...now at 50:1...takes 4 times as much capital....that aint so easy....In my opinion leverage is what takes the middle class to the next level....thats Y they changed it....


Like the 25K rule for daytrading in stocks....Y the fukk do I have to have 25K to trade more than 3 times in 5 days...its my $$$$

also the hedge function is gone....and FIFO....thats the one that hurts the most
