XBOX360?
Yeh, and PS3, but Xbox 360 for COD MW3 is absolutely crap... graphics are terrible! Better off sticking with PS3, loads faster, updates faster too, Xbox 360 is too slow.

Now tell me you took this scalp higher and you are corps...
i think scalp is different as a mid or long term trade.
if you do a 0.1 lot scalp, with 20 pips loss and 80 pips tp, so you risk 20 dollars and you can earn 80 dollars
another trader try a mid trade, he has a 0.02 lot open, with 100 pips s/l and 400 pips tp and he also get 20 dollars risk with 80 dollars reward in terms of money.
so just depends on your time frame and your trading strategy, hard to say who's strategy is correct who is wrong.
i am not his supporter or fan, just i rememebered he mentioned that on Sept 8th, when EU was consolidate between 3970-4020 for a while, he mentioned the borken of 4020 could be crucial for EU and EU may continue drop aggressively later.. He also mentioned in early Oct, after EU consolidate between 3160 and 3230, he mentioned a broken 3240 might be an indication to up.. He may not really trade as he mentioned or catch the 1000 pips move, what i was trying to say is in terms of analysis for some points for EU, he is not too bad..

great ! My short is doing better, already took 50% off at +15
Overall direction is a bit sideways, so many +15 pips make many pips. My overall bias though is short. Continuous rejection of the 1.3520 level means something

Not sure if we are both talking about the same thing here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalping_%28trading%29

"Time frame - Scalpers operate on a very short time frame, looking to profit from market waves that are sometimes too small to be seen even on the one minute chart. This maximizes the number of moves during the day that the scalper can use to make a profit."

I am not sure if I get your meaning but scalping in a mid or a long term sounds like kinda oxymoron to me...

Personally I scalp with 1 standard lot, trying to minimise risk with small sl's and quick partial profit combined with sl at be. I always examine the 1h-4h charts for clues on trends/levels/risks and check news events. At the 5 min chart I enter for a close follow-up. First Profit taking is done by a robot, loss is predefined at entry. At market switches (I prefer London when I'm around, or NY in the other case) I consider taking longer sl's
Standard first tp is 15-25, entered when I enter the trade. Standard SL is between 10-30 pips, defined at entry.

Hey Guys - went short @ 1.3487 -sl @ be +1. Here are my charts. Currently market has no room to move up or down - supported by ascending blue line. it either breaks that line - or will continue to move up. I would really like to see 1.30 eur in next few days, but will join bull side if we continue to go up. Targets on downside: 1.3446, 1.3259, 1.3022, targets on upside: 1.3592, 1.3696 & 1.3799:

I am not a gambler trading for intervening. I already have some long terms plan to trade on a few pairs and i will do my plan when the time comes. I need to wait for the time comes and i will disucss usd/chf when it really drops to that price, it maybe a dream because i wont be surprise if usd/chf not even drop to 0.8700 the rest of my life.
