Venice , do you play the daily as well as ltf at the same time or " one or the other " if you know what I mean?
I do both at the same time. Although, right now my 5m plays are fully loaded since I have no swings in play.

So, both at the same time, but depending on how I am currently positioned my lot sizes will fluctuate (if swings are in, they have the majority of margin).

I have a calculation that I use that allows me to use x lot sizes for y equity of the total account. So as swings make more money it gives me more to play with in the scalps.

And of course less to play with if it is going under water.

Yep. I use to have them split out (swing and intraday), but I got annoyed having to switch back and forth.

For a while I used multi-terminal to handle it, but then just said screw it and consolidated all my cash to one account.

It's really not bad, just have to make sure your on the right currency.

It helps to use currencies on your swings that don't eat up a lot of margin too, like Swissy.

Congress' approval rating has fallen to an abysmal 9% -- to put this in perspective, herpes is now slightly more popular than Congress.

There are many World Shit experts here........ wait until it moves 100 or 150 pips to learn how accurate was their prediction.

Agreed, we also squeezing all runner trailing stops, now only defending mofus, reducing lots size and frequency, is time for caution

e banks are selling assets. foreigners are buying enough to float her a little while. till the assets are mostly sold. each time one is sold, the foreign currency has to be converted to euros. putting a little euro demand in the mix. as time goes on there less assets to be sold. whats happening is actually very euro bearish. banks sell assets because depositors are leaving. when enough depositors leave. the banks fail.. the countries fail.. the e union monetary system fails.
