    Monthly Thread: March 2004

    Good call, I sincerly hope our friend Overload was heavily short USD and holding. Dont say But USD is still going down in the long term, remember, we dont trade Buts Overload. Traders so insanely focussed on one direction will get burned.

    USD - Up or Down?

    I know a trader who made profits over 80% in 2003 with only a ~40% win rate, the key was his money management. Your right in saying traders have to win more than they lose...profit, not trades.

    USD - Up or Down?

    I have never said that everyone should buy USD as you will make money without fail, what I HAVE said is that there ARE places where buying USD will make you profits even if over the longer term it is getting weaker. Time frame is what matters. If you are so certain that Eur is heading up I hope...

    The EU does not care about the USD, they care about the Euro, if the Euro heads past 1.30 the EU will be hurting badly and we will have bank interventions, whether this is just fighting the tide hoplessley remains to be seen. EU business is hurting as it is by the low USD, they would LOVE for...

    Question; Can they snoop our computers ?

    Yes they can, if they wanted to/inclined to. They could make it log key presses and send data back, send lists of files from your directorys back etc, anything at all. When you run any program on your comp a lot of "good faith" is implied in that the company isnt doing something you dont...

    FXCM mini contest

    Impressive, my only thought tho is that they are very highly leveraged. The winner of the contest was using 100X leverage on many occasions, rarely below 30X. Same with the others.

    Casual Trading Journal

    I do this also, times I miss the start of a huge move in say EUR/USD GBP/USD or any other pair looking at the hourly and 4hr charts, but after seeing a move take off flipping down to 5min charts can get me a good entry to capture some of it.

    Part Time Forex Trading

    For sure....just keep an eye on the longer term trends and ignore the rest...most profits i make in forex comes from not just watching a chart for hours at a time, but being patient, getting a good entry in a longer term trend and just checking it every day or so.
