I guess the cool thing is...still pulling out profits. Adaptability is paramount in these trenches.
Yep. I'm still trying to figure out how I pulled last month out of my ass. Best month all year, except March I think... Aussie was my main trading vessel, and that thing was inconsistent as all out.

Many variations of sailor language was used hahaha.

But these days...it might be one tweet, too soon...or one "potential" downgrade to soon.
I can't believe the market isn't completely desensitized so that nonsense by now. 4 years later, and it still flips out over nothing.

4h is a little more smooth, but it it generally *still* oscillates. Daily... i'm not sure what to make of that. Haven't had a daily trade for quite some time now... not even one this year yet. Had the signal on the euro back in August to buy and not look back... but never pulled the trigger. Let the nonsense get into my head. Oh well.

I'm familiar!

Gold has been my shining star of late (months and months). Often props my "basket" up until other pairs turn. A $15 to $30 head start on Gold can do marvelous things. Extremely low leverage, too.

Wish I could sling that. I guess at best I have the gold stocks... I hate the equities market... with their fills that don't always fill. Bastards actually have to match up order quantities... unlike fx. All IN, it don't matter who is buying or selling... we can handle it, no problemo!

I wish stockfetcher.com was a little better with their programatic interface. Would love to find bull stocks off the daily chart that match my strategy... but you can't store information in variables in a way that I would need to use it. Maybe even a zigzag-esque indicator would help, but those guys are silly over there.

Do you do equities at all? If so, what tools do you use for scanning?

Same here. I still have an account since the monthly cost is negligible, and i pop it open every so often to test and trial, but never got anything close to what I want.

faking holy moly, PUB.L is trading at 6 pence, it was near enough a pound back when i used to trade it, tells you the state of the uk public house industry...

YELL.L is 1p!!! that used to be about 50p

SPD.L was the winner, used to be about 50p, now trading at £3.50...
