:19 Stopped out be Also a failed bo in gold, this starts to look like a good short, does IB admit 5-minute-ago-prices? Edit: maybe not :D - I probably shouldn't trade today

NFP on Friday, as well as the start of the earnings season. IMHO, too soon to call it either way.

Nice run, Star Thanks Kid

Kid, do you have a read on this market? I'm totally clueless today (spare me the cruel joke, please :D)

Don't mean to offend you RA, but you know we have oil inventories in 13 minutes, right? :P I like your R:R, though :)

Yes, you look at Treasuries and they're pricing in deflation; then you look at commodities and they're pricing in inflation; you look at gold and it's pricing in further crisis; you look at equities and they're pricing in recovery. :confused: (FWIW, oil and equities moved in tandem at way...

TT, nobody is saying that if you disagree with unemployment insurance you should not take if you get unemployed, that would be silly. The point is his wife was NOT fired, she quit. Having car insurance doesn't give you the right to crash your car when you don't want it any more so you can cash...

A key question here is whether he paid unemployment taxes on his wife's salary - there's an exemption for relatives to avoid fraud. So it may not be just hypocrisy, but also fraud (unemployment benefits are for people being fired, not those who quit) and tax fraud (if he didn't pay the taxes...

You didn't miss it, you applied a sensible rule to stay out of big trouble. Well done.

Your system is giving you short signals or you started the day with a short bias?

Nice short, congrats.

sim +.73 on a stop order (never give up or never learn?) Tempted to lower the stop to 82.40, but... stop tightened to .63 :49 stopped out at -10 ticks (I hear you RA and I feel your pain, this is like getting your scrotum waxed :( )

Sorry to hear that. There was no way you were going to make it with that attitude, but I was hoping you would manage to hold on to a couple of thousand while learning. It's normal that you feel good when you have a profitable trade and bad when you have a losing one, but when every time you...

Traitor and Addict (hey, your words, not mine :D) Edit: OK, Star and Risk, Yes, this area should provide resistance, but if we break we're going to 86 in a spell. Gold nearing 1350 Euro nearing 1.4000 in the midst of beggar-thy-neighbor ES nearing 1160 with Ben picking the bill...
