    Rackspace IPO on Friday August 8th

    I've used Rackspace web hosting services for years - they offer a premium product selection with excellent service. Their Mosso cloud hosting is on the bleeding edge and not reliable enough for business hosting, but offers a glimpse of the future web hosting opportunity.

    huh is the forex market closed?????

    I got an email the other day from my local bank that gave advance notice of maintenance on this exciting new market called "forex", but I don't recall the dates... Maybe it is down for that maintenance right now. Beware of the wolves jazzjackrabbit.

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 8/1/2008. Unlike last week, I now have reason to be scared. Like I've noted before, I've become to lazy with this range we've seen in most of the pairs (UJ, EU, EJ) and this has given me too much comfort. Monday I was greedy, watching profitable trades reversing...

    CUIL to impact GOOGLE ?

    They seem to be hung-up on the fact that Google keeps some user data (such as what they search for). To me that is a small price to pay for relevant search results. Doing a simple search using Cuil - I can't figure out where the results come from, because they don't seem to come from my query.

    I quit my job and skipped education to pursue Forex fulltime!:) What now?

    I hope you're not serious... "I quit my job and skipped education to pursue Forex fulltime!:) What now?". You've just said "I've jumped out of the airplane without a parachute!:) What now?" Go to school, get a job and study the markets when you have free time. The cost of life will...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    I appreciate that PipProphet! It is nice to see when others are able to learn from my ups and downs. You're doing the right thing by focusing on just a single pair (EU has nice movement and usually the lowest spread). There is no reason to try and trade other pairs until you learn one like...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    I've never traded stocks or futures before and if anything, I would move into futures at a later time. I would expect that such as simple strategy as I use would be universal - it shouldn't matter what product I'm trading, just so long as there is movement. I've never looked beyond spot...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 7/25/2008. First losing week in a long time, but not concerned. I really had an indifferent feeling after last week's performance so I didn't give myself any pressure to trade or to even look at the charts. If I had a few minutes away from doing other projects I'd...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 7/18/2008. I don't know if it's the hot weather or what, but I just couldn't get enough sleep. I could see it affecting my attitudes so stopped early this week and will see how it feels again next week.Date P/L Pips Range Size W L S Sunday, July...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Thanks! I have no immediate plans to return to IB and in hindsight, the move to Oanda was the right decision. Oanda covers the basics of what I need now and for the foreseeable future. It has been good for me to eat some humble pie :) I put in the request to close the IB account many...

    If you had to wake up at 4:00 AM every day?

    My day... 4:00am > Jump up and take a piss. 4:00am - 6:30am > Review what happened while I was asleep and maybe place some trades. 6:30am - 7:30am > Shower, get my son ready for school, eat breakfast. 7:30am - 8:00am > Drive son to school. 8:00am - 9:00am > Drive to company. 9:00am -...

    My Journal of Trading Mistakes and...

    You may only need 2 points a day 4DTrader, but the greed will still be inside of you. :) FWIW - At the end of a session, I like to look at how many pips I took relative to the range; rather than worrying about some arbitrary number as my target. I am happy getting between 30-40% of the...

    American Dream Now American Fairy Tale?

    Why do you need to be such a cunt to Brandon? A child that grows up without understanding the meaning of a dollar is truly poor.
