{quote} you know cash is a position, right? A good tip for you, you shouldn't force a trade. not every session will there be a set-up worth taking. You don't need to have a position every minute of everydayI know people that have gone >1 week without a position, best part is they are salaried so they get paid, literally for nothing... But they aren't in cash for no reason, they know what they are doing. I fear that if you force a trade every day you might wipe out that micro demo account you use, and that'd be a shame.
{quote}Dude... I just don't want you to get sucked into the traps of people that cannot even commit to a position. Talking bullshit is not trading and however you see things, is how you see things. Take a guess as to how many of the traders that you've seen come and go since your registration here, that couldn't generate 10 pips per trading day...at any size or level. Does it matter how they viewed it, as pips or percent? It's all bullshit. Ask these wankers if they'd be long or short coming into London...if they can't come up with an actual...

{quote} that's the one i don't understand (not saying it's not true!). IV is, lets say, perception of volatility distribution over price. And ok, that will be used as a risk management tool because you'll adjust your risk accordingly (position size or whatever other way). But, why would it directly cause/imply that actual move will be proportional to volatility? I mean, we can define volatility in many different ways but for the sake of discussion, i'd define it as an oscillation around the line (trend?). it's the slope of the line and not the volatility...
i have actually just added a small short on aussie and cable aussie data in 5 mins only medium impact and not normally a market mover, but low liquidity and considering the long weekend shit often happens
{quote} Neither irrelevant. 1st point, I could be wrong. It was a value judgement on my experience of him frequenting this forum often, if he is not, fine. What is your job magix? 2nd point. I have exams, I don't know if you are formally educated but university is important. I have to revise to get the grades my offer requires, that means I don't have time to play with a demo account, or even a real one. Also, where is abt rich/poor? 100k doesn't make some rich, nor does a RTRS terminal. But for someone who has traded since 2009, they have no excuse...

{quote} Of course, you seen my plan... When the $1000 runs out...so do his posts...a little clause I'd add to the mix... I'd bet he couldn't make it to the end of summer session.
