what a boring day with eur the dog cant move

cable still so sweet with honey

gold is too dam horny and sweet too dont knew if it will stop here or will visit 1800

lube still in play
once over 1803, 2003 is the target.. the old peeks are resistance... we had a b/o north.. so before 2003... a pullback is normal at any time now. 50% of the last leg is 1642.69

120 $ (back to mid) drop before continuing up would not surprise me.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

something else. high oil boost the gbp, since London has a lot of oil stocks, in its market. if oil drops.. the gbp should also. with iran out there oil may go up. and slow the down gbp dropping process (even with gbp qe). in turn high oil hurts the yen.. if it were not for oil/iran.. i think we would already have dropped much further in the eu and gu. the beast may be a good long as long as oil is risen. gbp/yen will follow oil.. 4$ nation wide average gas will slow u.s. consumption/demand.

gu is doomed for now even with oil up BOE fucked up the gu


fiber i dont know why we are stuck here greece deal still in play and the market does not like

oil with iran unless we have war 110 should cap the move , will the US open the reserve when we get to $4 gas we are in election year and obamoo will be man to save them

i dont have the old oil chart. maybe someone will dig it up.. 106 was a target. the one after was 114.. i don't recall the ones after. the 106 has been reached. after a target is reached.. we tend to revisit the last leg.
the gu may be doomed.. i still look for 1.4- in the bigger charts. but atm oil can make it bounce before lower. or at least make the down move sluggish

You can set up an "investment account " separate from your trading account , even a small amount to start with is OK. You can trade a few accounts on MT4 if you wish, your br@ker does have the facility.

The investment account becomes your compounding vehicle, you can set the risk , you can also transfer profits from your trading account to your investment account if you wish.

That is how I started but we all have unique circumstances .

Some trade for a living , some trade to get rich quick , some dabble in the market etc etc
Right now I have a separate account for swings and for scalping. But right now trading is merely supplemental income right now. No way I could survive off of it. Probably doesn't help that I keep spending it... LOL. But, focusing on eliminating all debt and will some day take the plunge to leave my job.

Was thinking the same thing... I would not be happy as a trader right now. Maximum leverage, go for 5-10 pips at a time. lol

yeah absolutely ally, compounding really is powerful, if you are talking telephone numbers in account equity, then maybe you should be looking at a fraction of a percent risk exposure...
compounding does not increase the risk of trading , provided you don`t overtrade your equity

your risk exposure remain constant even if you trade size trebles after a few months/weeks

you grow into trading more lots over a period of time and if you are uncomfortable with your trade size , set up a different accounts with different risk profiles and/or only compound your profits and not your trading "capital"

you can even withdraw your original trading capital after a few months if you are successful and stick it somewhere in a money market account where it can fester away at 1% /annum

there are many ways to look at compounding but in the end you have to do what you are comfortable with i.e. stay within your comfort zone
