Not good. Not that bad. Positive for the week...

It's good "Disconnected" day. I didn't trade X eventhough the EUR/USD was on fire today and closed above 1.25+ Commodities down (oil, gold, indices) with euro up huge??? There was a tradeable bounce on X last hour, but better to stay away on a day like today, imho.

Stopped out. Confused. Cut profits short. Oh well.

Not good. Not that bad. I'm proud of taking a small loss when I knew I was wrong. It could have been very big loss.

Thank you. I tried to be careful and selective, yesterday, that's why I only had 1 trade. There was another trade last 20 minutes when EUR/USD (as an indicator) appeared to be breaking down as it was trading in the low 1.238's I didn't take it as I wasn't sure it was worth the spread and...

It's good

-280 (plus cost of commissions) A trader's worst enemy is himself. I should have made a lot of money today as everything worked according to the way I trade. First trade was marginal setup and I should have gotten out quickly, but I didn't and let the losses mount. Second trade was...

Rally in the EUR/USD (weaker dollar) pushes the commodities up (oil, gold, etc.). imho. Dollar is weak today versus yen and sterling, as well. I don't trade oil or forex, which means I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I do watch X stock (US steel) which seems to follow the euro. fwiw.

+250 (minus 3 roundtrip commissions) Farewell and best wishes to both of you, dwpeters and wiesman02. Take care.

+20 (net profits) Emotions got me. I'm thankful I didn't lose more money. Gotta keep the emotions in check. I once again was shaken out of my GS put position only to see 200+ profits left on the table materialize within 5 minutes. I go on tilt and forced a trade on X puts even when the...

+200 AMZN puts daytrade & +210 BP puts swingtrade "I'm just trying to be very careful. I hope I don't change" <-- from my quote yesterday. Being careful and leaving a lot of money on the table go together. Still hurts like crazy! I got a very nice entry on the AMZN puts, but being very...

+200 No complaints. I'm just trying to be very careful. I hope I don't change

ASusilovic, From what I can see, the also lightened up their long position by more than double the amount they took off on the short position? The net effect being the commercials are less "long" on their euro position this week compared to last week. This is the link I watch, but it's...

+50 For the life of me, I couldn't pull the trigger for the 2nd time in the last 30 minutes. I would have made much more :( Today was tough (for me). I'm thankful that I didn't lose money. I didn't make much (after commissions), but better than losing. Just glad this week is over. I...

+150 First time to post here. I want to continue posting but I also have a superstition that I start losing money when I talk about my trades, so if I stop it's because of that... Tuesday and yesterday were big losers for me. I almost cried yesterday because I realize my mistakes (which...

Yes, the DD-WRT router in California is connected to a DSL provided by a local Caifornia ISP. It's at the business owned by my brother and his wife.

You are somewhat correct. Free internet is everywhere here (malls, McDonalds, etc). Once you connect, you don't need anything else and can use the internet to your heart's content. I secure the internet connection by initiating the VPN software on my laptop to connect to a router in...

No, I setup a DD-WRT VPN router in California before I left. Wherever I am in the world (even in the US), I always initiate a VPN connection to that router to secure my communication. There is a VPN (OpenVPN) client software running on my laptop. If you don't do this, other users on an open...

I moved here to the Philippines (Makati) a few months ago and have been day-trading options for a couple of months now. If you have any specific questions, just post them so the answers may benefit other people who may be interested. I trade using a 9-inch Dell Netbook (Mini-9) with 2...

TrueCrypt is open-source and free under GPL. It is by no means worthless. Is Linux worthless? DVDshrink? Backtrack? Aircrack? etc? I changed to TrueCrypt from Steganos encryption. TrueCrypt is great and has support for OS X and Linux. It must not be that worthless if kana is saying he...
