Keep it up!
I think, next year.
If my calculations are proper, I go out of 2012 with -20% after withdrawal, which makes it kind of hard for me to keep it full-time. I am not really confident that part-time trading can cut it for me.

Sad, but true.

what does it mean ?
It means those German factories are chugging along just fine! And all those orders will be paid for in Euros.

Shite...I wasn't implying you should go get a job in a factory! I was just patting you on the back for all of those factory orders.

Dayum...that's a bummer, mate. At least that figure includes withdrawals. I'd hate to see you pack it in. You've certainly put in a lot of time, and seem to have made great inroads.

Just out of curiosity...would more capital help the situation? As in...more capital...(hopefully) larger returns, so more left after withdrawals?

1,05 to get blown away on AU? Looking likely.

AU and EA ADR's done. AU's particularly anemic, though...so not much of a deterrent, me thinks.

This. It's basically the same fate that jawn had to face, but I won't be that lucky to quickly find a really well-paid job over here.
It just seems, I tried too much on my own lately, without double- and triple-checking.

Not quite the stark difference as when 3G arrived. If you have solid coverage...it can be great. It seemed to be thrown out there as the new "buuz" a little prematurely IMO......
I think when LTE has a broader infrastructure and coverage, it will be a big step up. Again...with solid coverage, it can be pretty bloody fast. ...
In simple words, If I get a good deal on the 4G provider good otherwise ignore it until later when the infrastructure and coverage make it the standard ....

Thanks mate, has been a very informative IT session...

Exactly the approach I would take. Generally speaking, newer "cutting edge" technologies only get cheaper as they become more established, too Buy the dip!

Argggh...gutted to hear this, Hatch.

Do you almost exclusively trade EU? Think I saw you posting some EJ trades recently, but not sure if you were just tracking it.

The reason I ask is...do you ever trade Gold? Maybe its a little late to be looking at it, because there is a bit of a curve involved in getting a feel for the flows, but it moves so well. The biggest thing with it for me is the R:R goes way up over currencies. What it means is that I put less on the table, but am able to pull much more out of it (when I'm right). Its pretty easy to tell when you're wrong, too...so losses are kept pretty minimal if you give it the respect it deserves.

Wish there was something I could do to help, but I haven't got a spare 50k lying around dying to be traded.

lol ... ECB day on no man land time in a very thin session mate. I have the feeling that pretty much everything is already on the table FA and TA wise for the ECB/NFP combo and we are just waiting for the actual facts.

I don't expect much from the ECB, looking for hints or comments for the ECB to NOT cut rates further but beyond that nothing else. The final mover will definitively come from the US (fiscal cliff, etc) the rest is pretty much the continuation of the technical moves across the board ....let see how it goes and if there is any surprises ...you know my and I know your view (and trades) on ES, Gold ,Oil and Euro so ...let the market roll...

Fundamentals/technicals...age old debate!

Two other big ticket events coming up today. Those will probably be short term drivers. News can be a funny one. 3.9% was a nice figure. -3.9% and the Euro could be falling a little more right now???

Since they excluded us from trading gold with a leverage, I only track the charts for exercise. It's been a long while.

lol....no mate quite the opposite.

Sure you don't necessarily need to read/understand news for trading. However, you MUST know at least when they are happening and understanding the general result may sometimes help(overshoots, surprises etc) even if you are trading a M1 chart and just for not getting hammered without knowing what happened....

Green news, up, Red news down ...no no mate.... better forget about that...that's not how it works ..if it were that simple we all be rich. If you are interested in exploring FA factor I would recommend you to go far far away from the knee jerk reaction news trading ...

No rate change ...only Draghi left...
