    Using a hedge instead of a stop

    Recently, on my FXCM live account I have been experimenting with hedging. After studying this a while, it occured to me that this may actually be a better approach than a traditional stop. Trading XAU/USD and usdollar CFDs, I have found it more profitable to use a longer time frame...

    In other words: Less thinking and more fu**ing?

    Perhaps, women aren't good at keeping abreast of the trading issues. :p

    HateTheRisk got it right. He didn't lose his left ball. I missed by a day, but only "almost" lost a right ball. Of course, gold has since gone way back down again. So balls offered, but none lost. :D

    Blotto, put up, or shut up! Until I see you showing some real numbers, and proving yourself as a real trader, you're just a mouthpiece with too much time on his hands.

    Quote from NoDoji: This is interesting. It is a big part of why I am not rushing to develop appropriate strategies. I discovered as prop trader a couple of psychological issues I needed to master first. "Pulling the trigger", and "sticking to my guns" were the big issues. The reality...

    I guess I have Mr Berlusconi's to thank for the sudden drop in the Gold price which saved my butt. He resigned. Just learned from FXCM that my little plan to transfer money back and forth from my mini to micro account isn't as easy as I thought. So, I will put only $1500 in the mini and...

    I think it would be safe to say that I pulled that one out of my butt. That was a definite stomach test when down $145 at one point today. On a day that gold spent most of the day going up, I shorted it. It finally went my way. Still slightly short of my goal, but I am using only my now $508...

    Gold is now doing a little of that scene from Braveheart: blowing a kiss at 1800, shaking balls, and then showing ass. Of course, what happens after 8am est is what really matters.

    I call bulllshit on NoDoji.

    Frankly, I am convinced that the vast majority of you guys are posers. Targeting one with a thread like this is incredibly lacking in class.

    Not bad for day 1. See the image below. I'm chosing to post my performance so that I am seen by everyone for who I actually am. For now, I continue to trade only in my micro account. I have a mini account as well with a larger balance. Good things: I came very close to achieving my...

    Thanks, Blotto, but you can't save anyone from following their own path in life. You know this from your own personal experience, I suspect. You talk very much like my Uncle. He too was a recovered addict. In his case, the addiction was alcohol. Now, back to trading. I've solved the...

    What is wrong with this way of thinking?

    Blotto, I opened up the micro account to blast through a limitation I had while I was working as a proprietary trader. I had difficulty "pulling the trigger". I have solved this problem. The next task is to design a suitable plan, and I assure you, I have more than enough intelligence to do...

    What is wrong with this way of thinking?

    Blotto, what makes you think I take any of you seriously? This is an online forum which probably has an overall failure rate of greater than the general public in terms of trading. I post a thread like this because the "reaction" from all of you generates thought and anlysis inside of me. I...

    Gold is golden. Managing to do some smaller scalps along its route up. $75 realized in scalps so far + the main trade at 1750 showing over $100 on paper. Should I take my $150 profit for the day and walk away? :D :D

    Hmm ... if it is "obvious to everyone" isn't it too late; isn't that a golden opportunity to take the opposing position?
