either they agree with EU or not
my guess it will trigger down.

I do not see a power to reverse it.
as US is in own discussion of how f cliff cuts will be handled.
I agree with you Steve. But one has to keep aware of the possibilities and what to do if they come up.

I am quoting myself... that sounds perverse...


2% IMO is also unrealistic. It puts too much pressure to perform to some idioctic high standard. I take the market as it comes. Sometimes rain sometimes sun.

I have a different strategy starting 2013 and in truth the market decides what i 'make'

I tried day trading last year and found i was not good enough at ti. It also caused alot of problems with my wife as i was literally glued to the screen all day.

I generally dont use a stop loss and place trades in only fairly extreme (fundamentally, technically and historically). I still every know and again place very small lot trades just to pass the day by. However, i would describe myself as a swing trader looking for larger moves over longer time frames.

Im currently waiting for an entry long on GBPUSD (as low as possible but will start buying at anythign below 1.50). I only place trades until im at the point where i cant cover a drawdown to an extreme (for the pound this is 1.35). I then sit back and wait for the trade to complete and hit my goal.

First time i did this was entering short at 1.625 with the pound. I seen this as high and felt a safe bet to go down. Right now im waiting for 1.49xxx and below to enter long as i believe it is a safe bet that it will at some point in 2013 hit 1.57 which will be the likely TP.

Its an easier life for me this way.

Money is just how you keep score. I don't give a hoot about the money. I'm more impressed by someone showing me consistent return over a long period of time than someone getting lucky at the forex casino and getting a high return nearly overnight.
AMEN AND AMEN. Show me the long term not a flash in the FX pan.

Fear NO man and only 1 woman... your wife or Ms Market.

Good luck to you Inpatient. If you learn and live to trade another day you will make it.

Appreciation is a powerful thing. Hell I even appreciate all of you. Even the doubters.

THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS.
I've read that book too... what ever people think of it and how it's presented it opens up a new way of thinking. It has got me to where I have wanted to go in life, now I do this in my spare time to take me further.

Good luck brother.

Jim Sinclair had an interesting observation on a King World News interview that 1/3 of the depositors money in Cyprus is Russian money.

Russian mobsters money.

What were Russian mobsters before they were mobsters? KGB agents. The very same people that could make anyone vanish.

I'm paraphrasing but he said that politicians in Cyprus were quickly trying to backpedal out of this mess simply as a matter of literally saving their own skin.

Thoughts?

I said

- vote is only paper work desecion been made by merkel herself
- on the way to vote RUS has joined the game
- cyprus may leave EU or EU may reject it
a- if cyprus leave EU means they agreed with RUS & we have a new RUS base @ the middle of the med sea
b- if EU reject cyprus
i- this will be start of end of EU zone
ii- we have a new RUS base @ the middle of the med sea

- merkel attack to RUS money ( territory ) actually defeated
- this reminds me WWII

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Worked on a development in Sochi a few years ago, and part of the site the Russian developer wanted to develop wasn't even owned by him. It was the property of a local tennis club and I met the owner (because it obviously impacted the feasibility study if he didn't want to sell). He CLEARLY refused to sell. I went back a few weeks later and found out he was beaten up badly and in hospital...he sold a few days later for an undisclosed amount. My guess is, he didn't fall down the stairs...

PS: They're not all former KGB...they simply realised that Russia's a mafia state (no disrespect to Russians btw) and take advantage of being able to bend the law and bribe officials

"I generally dont use a stop loss"

- Always, trade with SL , or with an exit strategy that will not destroy your account. Remember, what is good for Long is Good for Short after Min/Hour/Day/Week....
- Define your TP & SL accordingly with actual MKT. Fix TP & SL is only good at WonderLand
- You can NOT control how much you Win, but you can control how much you Loose

good luck

But i never trade at a volume that will cause a margin call i make sure i keep enough to handle the most extreme draw down such as 1.35 in the poundDollar. For example

If 100 pips is 5,000 GBP and my account is 100,000 GBP then going long at 1.50 means i can cover this all the way to 1.30 before a margin call.

If my TP is 1.55 then im simply betting that price will hit 1.55 at some point in time. I may sit negative for a period but at some point i will profit 25,000 from the trade
