Go right ahead. This better be the youtube video that finally makes me world famous. :p

What do you mean by "again?" Don't we have make it out of this one before it can happen "again?" :p

Mods, feel free to move it to chitchat if it's not appropriate here. It is about trading though... Funny for anyone that's been following the drama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrSS_6nK24w

I don't get it. These guys are supposed to be traders? They should be smiling on any day with big movement; who cares if it's up or down?

LOL :D

Ah, that explains it.

I know this is straying from the topic of endless bearishness, but I found this very interesting... Why? Is it cold no where else in the country? We've a small area, granted the population density is high, but 80%? Are we the only ones in the country heating with oil?

And how about when you get fired, then arrested?

Came home last night pretty beat and distracted, but made the mistake of firing up the platform anyway. The result was essentially a bunch of hardly better than break-even scalping, right up until I buried what little gain I had when I really got stupid. No more trading when tired, that's just...

Or just an ass-load of leverage and balls of steel. As far as the risk/reward, think of it this way: no matter what direction the vehicle (stock/option/currency pair) is going, it's always going to have small swings. Small swings are not a bet, they're a guarantee. The larger the move...

I thought this is a great chart for the "movement is totally random" crowd. The lines on the chart were put in place at the furthest point that they're solid. They self-extend as a dashed line. So, no, this was not me adding lines in retrospect - in fact, the second blue line is from Tuesday...

ditto Goldie Nutsachs for sure. They have a direct money pipe coming right from the money machine Bernanke is cranking. You really can't go wrong with them.

Monday was too busy for any trading. Last night I had a quick scalp and an overnight. Scalp: Short EUR/USD - 1.47020 Covered EUR/USD - 1.47694 8.6 pips Sold a break out. Was in it for less than five minutes. Caught almost exactly 100% of the initial move down and about 75% of the...

Basically repeated the same thing today. Got in, spooked out (for 2.2 pips), moved 20+ pips in my direction within the next (15 min) candle. However, the trade before that, time stopping myself out DID save me from a massive move against me. Basically, I've got the entries down pretty...

Obvious repost is obvious. This was discussed to death already - you're about a month late.

The day of reckoning may be here. It's been too long since we've had a 300+ point down day. This could get fun. :D Oh and I loved my ETrade home screen this morning, in giant, purple type: "BUY THE DIP" LOL!!

Shorted on a break of some vague general support area. It decided it wanted to hold strong for a half hour, right up until I decided to cover (of course). During that half hour there was a couple pops that had me down about 7 pips. I averaged up on one of them, which allowed me to get out...

In keeping with the PAR of my trading life... it did end up breaking lower. Yes, the right shoulder formed, but it then proceed to fail the neck line and come tumbling down to what was my first take profit target. Also of note is that the trend line (now back side of) appears to remain valid...

Excellent points.

All done playing with that one. To aboslutely no one's surprise, as it struggled slowly back down to a 5 pip gain, the exact second I call it quits it plunges to the depths of hell. Par. Not going to complain though. The reverse head and shoulders is panning out and I consider myself...
