It's was a thousand dollars and then I added an additional 2.5k$ I believe and grew it into almost half a million now.

I remember my first ever deposit was 250$ on a 1:300 leverage (huge for me) and I made 3000$ in 1 night that night I was stunned as a beginner.

lost everything the day after... good old days... seem so far away

Absolutely outstanding Tony you join the ranks of the best traders in ff that i know of like Ronald Raygun, Kostas, and now you.

just super ...

Hey everybofy!
I'am new in here. kust wanted to ask about the sessions. There is said, that London opens 3.00 Est and NY 8.00 Est. Does EST mean estonian time (+2 gmt)? Because I searched in google and found that london opens 7.00 (0 gmt) and NY at 13.00 (0 gmt).

Have you ever tested ECN broker Tony? I must admit that my ECN have sooo many disadvantages, but i have never seen 10 pip spread on gbp/usd, before or during news.

During some news i even saw -spreads. Lower than 0.

I see that people are getting chopped up by the EURUSD. May I sugest you keep an eye one EURJPY. It has been a much smoother vehicle to drive in 2013.

Note: I have never traded this threads method.

I'm in no way trying to tell you how to run your business - not my style. But for me, when price doesn't move, I don't make money. I need a certain level of volatility and euro yen provides it. Yes the spread/leverage is slightly different but that can be accounted for with a tweak here and there. Also I don't trade with north american broker so it is a little different. If I am not mistaken you are from Canada, so you could trade with a European broker and get better leverage.

I use to watch EURUSD, GBPUSD and EURJPY - now I going exclusively EURJPY.

Tuesday is good. Only 2 important news. Services PMI and Non Manufacturing PMI. But i think i will trade second one on GBP/USD not on EUR/USD. Eur seems to be strange pair these days.

Wednesday in my opinion belongs to Gov. King. Im little bit afraid of NFP. I'm not as much expirienced as you Tony so i will pass this one.

07.03.2013- i can't imagine how this day will look like. Propably up and down all day. So again, i plan to stay away to save my acc.

And friday im going to trade unemployment change but again on G/U not E/U.


Any ideas or advices?

I have to admit that I'm on the news recently too. The systems rules didn't change, it's the same technique applied on news.
