Hope you all have a Happy Independence Day, American people! Please don't forget if you desire to return to the fold, that is if you want to be ruled again in a fair and just manner, let us know. We Brits will make you most welcome! Most welcome! :) P.S. magnificent Japanese car you have there...

Two reasons why i exited and they had nothing to do with the fundamentals (which, thinking about it, are quite positive imho, your analysis is totally off the mark): 1) i misread the chart, thought we were in uptrend mode by MY definition but it's actually in downtrend mode; 2) this greece...

i'm out at 1243.5

yes! i was short audusd from a couple of days ago...no idea why it has gone down so much today.

i'm taking anywhere between 2% to 10% risks, so a bit of gunslinging...friend reckons i'll lose the lot, i say i should be able to make multiples up to 10x in a year. Well, i am putting me money where me mouth is!

went long at 1258.5

want to go long the russell futures, again, targeting new record highs

if you can't make money on a demo acct, don't bother going live. Simple.

OP, if you truly believe in your analysis and experience from your years in the markets, you should go with that. Stuff that the legends say may be out of context, they may only apply to the way they trade, it may work for them but not necessarily for you...

hey eddie, just saw this thread, PM me if you want some assistance.

No, cutting your losses is the only one definite rule of trading, speculating and investing. You can probably prove it mathematically somehow.All those who are successful (from skill rather than luck) employ this rule, from Soros and Buffet and Druckenmiller to the guy who trades off 1 minute...
