Hey guys, I'm wondering how do u calculate unleveraged returns?
To simplify, let's assume no additional deposit and withdrawal.
Will "(absolute return) / ((average trade size)/(initial deposit))" be a good estimate?

This expression shook me a little. This has been my situation last year and detection should have been earlier but lucky for me was early enough as mines is slow growing.

Early detection in life is everything sometimes. So anyone with worries pay attention and do not ignore either in trading or VIP health.

{quote} oh north side hot spot now. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30978016 goodnite. regards
north side always is hot spot, especially now, looks like singapore only got 2 kinds of weather, hot and rain.

ah well, actually i guess the weird yen price action and weird aud price action has something to do with next week's aussie rate statement, maybe big boys expecting something, didn't notice this till i looked at the weekly on audjpy.

i was thinking, if i was stuck with eur position, can take delivery on the eur and go buy their stocks in germany? its going to take very long to recover the loss, or maybe even not recover the position at all if eur fundamentals so lousy, might as well buy more eur when lower, take the eur cash and buy german, french stocks and then probably get dividends too, kind of play the indirect way, if eurozone fall out and eur go kaput, the cash is already in robust economy, at most just keep going germany and france tour only, buy lots of prada for ladies, at least can get a smile out of them

I see everything in terms of trading now, may be my mind has gone really biased. Here is i am learning poker from one of my friends and he refferred a book and the line is


Expert players do not rely on luck. They are at war with luck. They use their skills to minimize luck as much as possible. They figure they're getting the best of it, and they leave lucky draws to their weaker opponents. To the extent that they are getting the best of it, they will win more often than they lose. Over the long run everybody gets the same proportion of good and bad cards, of winning and losing hands. Beginning poker players rely on big hands and lucky draws. Expert poker players use their skills to minimize their losses on their bad hands and maximize their profits on their big hands. They also are able to judge better than others when a big hand is not the best hand and when a small hand is the best hand.

And what different we learning here...

but this time i got suckered.
always happens when i am happy and not focused.
Is my own bias fault.

I thought the last time it nearly melt down, They very shoulder to shoulder stand together walk out of the storm.
Didn't see the sting of carrying it out to devalue those who come to their assist.
no so pro my stance.

No problem - you were not to know. Last year was the year for procedures but I am ok now - as I said very lucky - maybe him upstairs thought I needed to not take life for granted - who knows - just my bad luck - but my good luck is slow growing and removed - all gone (amazing what surgeons did for me)- next check in 2 years. Thank you for your offer - very kind - hope I do not need it - I will be monitored/scanned now for rest of my life. But you are so correct very important point - EARLY DETECTION - I know they say men are particularly bad at that - we all think never happen to me not in the category but it can. So in trading and health think early detection.

Last year you were telling me not to have the blues (but I do love a bit of jazzy blues music...) and be glad of life and it gave me good kick up the bum so thanks for that - it helped me at the time -though you were not to know. Life is about loving and joy - pity so many do not get that.

Have a good day and thanks again - and for all the great vids.

Hi Alexandria First thing to say is this is MY way of helping ME understand the market moves to try to get a clearer picture of what may happen, {image} Regards Phil.
Thanks so much - it is really really odd but I asked my partner a fair few weeks ago about velocity and he used the throwing ball up in air thingy as I was thinking exactly what you have shown. How weird is that. I so get what you are saying. I have been looking at it too but I was a bit unsure about it - FTI points the way to this leg strength.

I really get what you are saying so thank you so much. I appreciate you showing me stuff so publicly.

I am well aware that you know what FTI says about the feel being vital and test and test again until you know where market is at.

Hi Alexandria

well done all that matters is +pips, things are just not looking right for me so far, though now with the news out of the way there are one or two pairs that are looking better to me, i could see the long in E/U myself this morning but i just was not comfortable taking that position myself, will wait for now...aud and nzd are off limits to me today as i do not want to get stuck in them with the rate news coming out tonight/later.

regards

Phil.

Thanks - but I do agree about moves - just went with true feel and clues & RoK - I am still focused on 1 pair although starting to look at others now more.

Done for now.
