    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    Actually, I wasn't trying to explain the quotes from the video - nor can I. Maybe it was a computer glitch or maybe Oanda really is the boogeyman out to suck the remaining pennies from every pikers account; all I know is that shit happens and I either find a different service provider or deal...

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    I've used Oanda for a few months now and don't have any serious complaints about them. I pulled the following image from their website, and I think it should sum everything up pretty clearly (found at http://fxtrade.oanda.com/forex_trading/why_trade_with_oanda/feature_execution.shtml)...

    World Bank Says BioFuels Responsible For 75% of Food Commodities Price Rise

    #1 ... and bitching all the way to the bank about higher feed costs (for animals) and fuel costs (for machinery). It's coming in one pocket at going out the other. #3 - I hope you're right about that!

    To use stops or not to use stops..

    You wait for the setups that have the highest probability of success according to your plan. Sometimes a trade is profitable, sometimes it isn't. And sometimes you'll get whipsawed - just take it one trade at a time. Good luck Tyler.

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 7/4/2008. This week just flew by - leaving for an early weekend and looking forward to the break. Started out the new month on a good foot and real happy with my discipline overall. Tuesday stood out the most - it was a lot of short scalps that added up in my favor. I...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 6/20/2008. Busy with work issues most of the week, so didn't have much time to focus. Trade styles were really across the board as I tried to fit in something whenever possible: from scalping a couple on Wed to looking at the hourly candles for the Thurs trade. Nothing...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 6/13/2008. Things sort of snowballed on me this week, in a good way. Each trade and day grew on another and was able to play off S/R area pretty well (especially EUR/JPY). Thought more about my terrible risk/reward last week and found it similar to a person buying...

    Ignore news and trade purely technical?

    If you don't avoid the news, at least ignore it. This can be especially true with forex as news releases are a good time to take a break.

    BLACKBERRY or 3G IPHONE if u want to trade from a cell phone??

    I'm very happy with the iPhone - it is very intuitive to use and there is something to be said for a phone that is not full of buttons.

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 6/6/2008. This was an extremely bad week on the mental side. I've gotten very lazy and sloppy - even putting on lotto ticket trades. I've played this game before, so I need to pull out of the mental rut as soon as possible before damage is done. I will do whatever it...

    the END OF THE INTERNET as we know it

    And to think that I was worried a few years ago about ISPs considering charging for bytes downloaded per month (a utility style billing). This is simply disgusting. Thanks for the heads-up chewbacca.

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Good job for sticking to your stops cashmoney69. That in itself is something to be appreciated.

    EUR/USD Will keep on falling?

    You put on that stop during your only rational point of the trade. Now it is your job to obey that stop and learn to love losers if you don't make money on this trade. You'll find that there are 4 possible outcomes for every trade: 1. You obey your rules and make money. Good job, move on...

    My Goal for 2008: Trading to Trade Well

    Update for week ended 5/23/2008. Little by little I'm trying to improve and sometimes I'm able to quickly notice the changes and issues that have hurt me. Over the weekend I began looking at my P/L for the month - and as I've done before, I began thinking about hypothetical profits given a...

    air purifiers/ dust collectors

    I've had the "NQ Clarifier Standard Model with UV" for about 6 months and been happy with it. One tip would be to try the purifier out in the room it will be used it - some can be too noisy. http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/car20airpur.html I also tried a Rabbit Air from amazon.com...

    Geo Metro - The new Chic Car! - same mpg as Prius

    Can someone explain to me what all the hype is behind a vehicle being "hybrid". 40-50mpg doesn't seem like that big of a deal when any little shitbox 4-cylinder will get you 30-35.
