i am curious, why didn't you close the aud trade when you hit the line?
I had mentioned that on here last week, I think. Wicked VPS issue. Never mind that shite. Was profitable...but lucky!

OK...on the Xxx geezer...
First of all, I think what Chilly said has a lot of merit. If he comes in, I'm going to get bombarded with loads more people asking to come in, too...and get a bunch of hateraid messages from those that have already asked.
I think this place is full of a lot of similar minded people, just looking to shoot the shit and blow off some crazy between setups. Sure...we obviously talk shop, and share ideas with one another, but its a pretty tight knit bunch, really. Quite a few of us have known one another for several years.
I don't run the show...we all have to run it together. I already mentioned Faller. Pleaded for ages...denied. Got his 10v and blew it in one post/photo. I didn't ask anyone's opinion on that, because it was so obvious. Another example, though...
KillerWhale. Not particularly my cup of tea. Comes in one night, sauced up, and starts offering me a hookup with some girl he knows. Posts a picture of this (supposed) girl. Said...she doesn't have HIV! Then posts what is (supposedly) her mobile phone number...call her! WTF is all that shite about?
I pulled the plug...certainly had to be done for the night. I put him on "ignore" so he couldn't post. But then I looked at people who vouched for him. A few of them are some of my favourite people on FF and are here daily getting Useless. So, I took him off ignore. My opinion can't trump others that have vouched for him. He sent me a PM apologizing saying it wouldn't happen again. I didn't reply...sorry KillerW...but so far it hasn't happened again.
Now...Xxx. Here's what I know...
He apparently used to roll under a different name, that people in the EU thread seem to ridicule for being a bit of a tool. He was suspended at least once in the past. PK suspended him. Now...new name...and PK wants him in here. I don't get it, but whatevs. I don't have a problem letting him in...I also won't have a problem booting him out!
I'm not trying to take the whole thing too seriously, but my only concern is that a Faller, a KillerWhale, a (Xxx?)...goes too far and Twee cracks the whip. I'm pleasantly surprised, and incredibly appreciative, that Twee lets us constantly flirt with disaster in here. If that gets taken away, I'm fairly certain I'll be heading for the hills.
Only other thing I got is this, Mr. pk (<<--Hey...is that short for pink?
)...and anyone else that gets furious. Please address ALL PM's on this matter to pkimnyc. I will also forward any that I receive directly to you...you bastard!

whoa just figured out how to sell a partial position on oanda..
i was taught to just break up the buys and close them out each as i want ...
but say you had a 1mill position (10 lots) all in one trade...
the way you close out a partial is just open up a brand new order window and sell 100k... so that would sell out 1 lot and change your current order long to 900k (9lots)...
i guess im stupid but i never knew this
That's how it natively works there...always did, as far as I can remember. Fine for you, because you aren't allowed to hedge (on one account)...but for those that can...the option wasn't there with their system.
I don't really consider it hedging, but I will still quite often have, say...a long swing running, but want to throw down larger lots for a quick short scalp. I'm not really hedging, I guess...just trading/slaying (hopefully
) both directions.
