It will remain as it has always been, Macs are for incompetant users and PCs are for people that know wtf they're doing. They're also a great way to pay 50-100% more for a similar or underperforming product. But, if you're totally incompetant at PC usage I guess you don't have a choice...

Only US. If you read further down in the email it notes that you can switch your account to the UK if you don't like the new requirements.

Where did I say anything about holding positions overnight? I clearly said I DO NOT LEAVE THE COMPUTER when in a position.

Since when are stops required to have a risk management strategy?

Yes, exactly. The market sweeps obvious stop levels all the time. The people using the stops are the ones that are the sitting ducks.

There's no luck involved in looking at a longer time frame when a short time frame play goes against you. So you get a 9,000,000 pip surprise move against you in a matter of two seconds, even IF you wait for a 3,000,000 pip retrace that never happens... what's the worst that's going to...

Don't leave the computer while in a trade. Set audible price alerts if you're going to be walking around the office/house. Even if there is a 500 pip move in 5 minutes, do you want to get stopped out at -500 pips or would you rather wait and ride up on the nearly inevitable 200-250 pip...

I intended this trade to only go intra-day, but maybe I'll look to add a longer term trade. The fiscal melt down of Japan hadn't really crossed my mind before. But, then again, I have this thing about not holding FX positions over the weekend...

There's aways the maximum pain mental stop. It depends on the situation and what the higher time frames look like. I've manually stopped myself out of positions that only went 2-3 pips agaisnt me, and I've held positions that have gone 150 pips against me unti they came back for a gain. You...

Yes, x1000 These are key: "I stopped using stop losses because when i get stopped out, the chart turns around at that point half the time and then i have to make a choice if I want to get back in or not. If i want to get back in, then i gotta pay the spread/commission again" " if i get...

Maybe GBP/JPY was the better option. USD/JPY isn't working out for me. Shit vs. shit = nothing good

I realize that, but at a bare minimum I would expect it to not track the exact OPPOSITE of the dollar, which is exactly what it's doing.

Is it me or is USD/JPY totally disconnected from dollar strength/weakness? It seems to completely have a mind of its own. Sometimes it moves with the dollar (like it should), other times (like today) it moves opposite the dollar. wtf?

Way to bounce back, man. :cool: Thumbs up on the lack of stop losses too. You usually have to throw on the flame suit before announcing you don't use them.

LOL:D

50mpg all day long. I have a '91 as a beater, gets 43mpg in this hilly ass state with 268k on the original motor. Best part is it only cost me $800.

You are one corny, but funny mofo. Thanks for keeping this thread going.

x2 Definitely etrade.

Bringing back the old-school definition of scalping.

Wouldn't doubt it for a second, especially on highly manipulated stocks like CTIC.
