I had a look at some of the winning trades by some of the monthly winners, with some winners gaining a monthly return of 500%. My question is are these results sustainable or did the traders have a lucky month? Has anyone here won a fxcm prize? If so, how are u doing since the prize?

Incredible bounce today. Wont short this until 1.3220 now.

Why no stops when long? Do you use stops if short on CAD? I suppose the 20pip stop on the eur/usd is fine if you use a 5/15min chart, but a longer time frame you'll get stopped all the time? Do you know any examples of "all-in" set-ups in fx trading, I always wondered if there were any or...

To pick up on a previous points on stops - what are people's views? Is it better to have a wide stop (100-200pips) and smaller leverage, or vice versa? I say this as the CAD can be volatile, but nothing is more frustating than your stop being hit and 2 days later, your original position...

I might aswell give you my bank details so you can transfer the funds directly. Pip pip.

Massive short position at 1.136 no stop.

Why is it a bogus fear? It makes sense to repay Yn borrowing as you might take a 3% hit in yield over the next few years and a 20% in currency depreciation. You might as well switch the borrowings to CHF.

Short at 1.1435 after the breakdown from the recent triangle base on dailies at 1.1472

Looks very overbought to me. But i think it is rather a reflection of CHF weakness as opposed to dollar strength. The CHF could emerge as the new carry-trade currency.

Unless the jpy carry-trade collapses, thus resulting in a liquidation of high-yielders to buy back yen.

Took profit yesterday at 1.3036 Short 1.3163 sl 1.32 tp 1.3070

I meant recently, not just today. Cant see what the catalyst will be to shift the market out of the ranges. I think the best play is a USD/CHF short as this seems a good level to sell at. However, CHF will have to get cross deand to strenthen.

Is anyone else getting annoyed by the lack of movement in the fx markets? The euro has had a suffocatingly small range of recent, and only the kiwi and yen offering any movement. My opinion is dollar weakness will occur shortly, but until then, the ranges will be tight. You have to be on...

Short at 1.3130. Stop 1.318 target 1.3

Just gone long at 0.7416 level. My thoughts are: 1.Gold/commodity bounce/support 2. Brilliant US retail figures not enough to see new lows 3. No bearish divergeance yet. 4. Outside day today. 5. Looking for a min on 0.7480

Whatdid you think of the trade set-ups in it? Personally I thought they were flawed.

Kathy Liens "Daytrading the currency market" is ok.

Profit taken at 1.7375

I think the Eur/USd is a very good short here too, probably better than the GBP. But they'll go down in tandem. Looking for a 1.19 break to the 1.1870 level. Perhaps with a 1.196 stop loss, in case i'm wrong.

I put the decimal in the wrong place. What r ur thoughts? Quite a wild day. You've got to change your opinion in an instant.
