US Stock Market Closed on Monday Morning due to Hurricane Sandy


8:15am CDT for Equity Index Futures Bonds at 12:00pm CDT. Other futures and forex trading as normal

Quiet day possibly tomorrow
Hey JP!

Just wondering why they would close US stock markets due to Hurricane? Is it to avoid Panic and massive sell offs?

Hello traders and mates,
I know that I am annoying everyone here with my posts related to "money and trade management", I'm sorry for that. If any one request me to stop, I'll do, no problem, and I'll not take it personnaly.
I found that we have a lot of readings in internet, in how to not lose money in FX, MM is the key, cut your loss etc... I agree, this part represent 99% of the work we have to do for enduring in this business. But I believe that the core part of this business is missing. That's always the 1% work that makes the difference between the top guns and the ordinary guns.
I believe that we have all different personnalities, differents attitudes, and differents techniques in trading. We can all lose money, we can all gain money. We have all read plus or less the same articles, the sames books etc... Again, they tell us the same story, MM, cut the loss etc.
But the story I want to ear his how to manage success (modestly speaking in my insignificant level). Once you reach your target, you need to consolidate it, capitalize on it. Plan the next target, collect the tools that will permit you to act conformly to your plan and reach the next target. I found that there is not so much readings and advices on this point. Do you have any books, articles, etc. to advise me and to advise for every one who is in the following situation :
He was used to lose moeny in fx market,
he worked hard to learn,
he stopped losing money,
he worked hard,
he started to gain money inconsistently,
he worked hard again,
he stared to gain little money consistently,
he worked hard again,
but he no more improve...???
What to do.

PS: illustration : I reached my session target in $. 100pips (thanks buddy) advised me to exit once I reach my target. It makes senses, but I haven't acted like this, because a inner voice told me, if you act like this, you will not improve. You are affraid of the market. You don't act like a professional. I'm really, really lost. Helps, advises, everything is welcome.

Thank you and good luck all.

My question is where and how to find the missing 1% ?

Hello all,
I missed my target of the day by 50$. I fullfilled the target for LO morning session, but failed to fullfil at Lo PM session. Target is 150$ for Lo morning and 150 for LO evening and Ny full session.
The reason of fail is that I was glued to my cj long. I should have exited it, and hunt for another pair, ie GJ was a good one, but when I saw it, it was late for taking a position.
The question is, do you think it's unrealistic or too high to target 300$ for 3 sessions being given that for now I don't want to increase the risk with more than 5 or 6 lots at any time. Expecting 300$ with 6 lots means 50 pips in average. Is it doable according to you ?
Thanks.

Hi guguen,
you are right, i have to be glad. But I can't change my nature : looking always to overperform myself. I'm in competition with myself (and believe that we are all in competition with ourself, and not in competion between us). I just want to encourage the beginners to work hard and find their own path. Thanks for your kind words.

you see how persistent i have been?? i have been told im gona lose my ass and that im gona lose, but well looking at my Naked Shorts... i wonder why my account is still growing....
Thats becaues im persistent, soooo lesson learnt? dont let anyone tell you what to do Especially when you got a strategy of your own, dont let any one dilute your strategy but be sure you stick to it, if its a winning one then its a winning one

Have a nice day folks.
