This is a bit of deja-vu topic isn't it? There was a thread on this subject a few days back. And yes I think you need to step on the gas when you perceive better odds - nothing close to risking it all, but at least a couple times more than the usuall. I vary my trades from as little as 1...

In general females need a lot more time and information to make decisions (try going to dinner or shopping with a group of them) - wonder if that would affect their trading?

This is a typical ET response. There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere; if you can find it. I'm not sure what kind of reply you were looking for. :confused: Did you want to get into an argument?

I think the point FurTrd is trying to make is that when you have a higher degree of certainty/probabilty - for what ever reason - you should take a bigger bet. You guys get all hung up about what constitutes good returns and how 50% is too much to risk... and completely miss the point of the...

The site says it's no longer available. Anyone know what's up? Is it gone for good?

From what I've gathered RedBull is swing trading so that would mean wider stops = less leverage. He's just starting out in Forex = less leverage. Trading with a max of one contract is pretty restrictive because it doesn't allow for any scaling, in or out. You need a couple of contracts to...

If you're trading with FXCM that mean you're probably trading mini lots ($10 000) which, if your account is any less than $5000, is waaay too much. Trade smaller.

While it takes guts to step on the gas and make a big bet when you're sure about something, sooner or later you will be wrong and take a big hit. A very important part of trading well is to avoid big drawdowns. Good luck to you anyways - October has been a bad month for stocks in the past.

I'd like to know what the point of insider trading laws really are? Just to give the SEC something to do (or not do) perhaps? Scrap it I say.

The grass always seems greener, mate. Regards

How long did it take you to get to this conclusion?

Goog is going to get absolutely fried in the next few weeks. Short as much of it as you can.

I went short on the way up with a an ave. price of 1320 I covered on a dip to 1300 because I changed my view and will buy down to 1260.

I'm getting really nervous about this trade and I've taken half off at 1315. Any more consolidation and I'll look to buy dips to 1300.

I just went long at 2696. Not because I particularly like euros but because I saw a good entry point and I'm short dollar on both usdcad and gbpusd.

I'm looking for 1200/1150 to start getting long again for a move above 1400.

Good trade DRT.

Shorted more now with an ave. of 1320. I'm hoping to see some strength in the majors tomorrow and that should pull the dollar down across the board. Much above 1400 and I'll start to unload.

I've been getting short since 1235 with an ave. of 1290. This breakout loooks to be the real thing but there isn't much follow through on the other pairs.

I haven't had any problems so I can only guess it's not a problem on Oanda's side.
