Thanks Sam, and yes, i''m in california.... it's obviously not the envy of the trading world. I find volitility poor in Tokyo generally, although daily pivot points seem to get more respect there than any other time frame... especially with the majors and the yen pairs. I have traded...

Ya know, I HAVE considered it...not stocks per se, but the emini futures. However, I found that the U.S. markets are highly corrolated, so really if the ES moves, the mini dow often moves with it, as does the Nas, etc... The only one I find that pretty much dances all by itself is the...

Thanks for the congratz! As far as hours, I trade the worst hours in the world! 11 pm (1 hour before London opens) until 2 am, but will often watch a position until US open at 5 am. Real graveyard shift, but sometimes I'm done trading by 2 or 3 am, which is about 3 hours after London opens.

Sorry guys, that should have read above: EUR/CAD + EUR/JPY final position profit = approx. 0.90%, total profit for the evening was 3.2%

Final: EUR/CAD - stopped out at BE +7 pips for last quarter of position, pretty much a scratch EUR/JPY - hit final target, pulled in another 0.87%. Total profit on last target/stop for EUR/CAD = approx 0.90% Total profit for the session = approx 3.2%

Peter...we trade the same way then. If you took the same trades as me... maybe I have you to thank you for pushing things a little my way ;) Background: been involved in the markets off an on for about 11 years now. Was a registered broker at one point 11 years ago, VERY short stint...

I generally risk between 0.75% and 1.5% per trade, but 80% of my trades are 1% risk. Most of the time, I take half my profit at 1:1 plus spread. I generally risk about 15 - 25 pips per trade, so I take half a percent profit at 15 - 25 pips target. I will let the rest run at my...

Peter, I typically use no more than 30:1. Generally, It's about 20:1. I use Oanda... not bad for trading tens of thousands... not sure how they will be at hundreds...but I'll see. If need be, I'll open an account with Dukascopy, or some other top level bank with a direct line to the...
