    SoCal

    Michigan has fresh water and thats about it. Factor in the ridiculous temperate changes. Hot summers ice cold winters, humidity, occasional tornado, power outages. Just missing the earthquakes and fires. I guess its pick your poison but for me i really am a healthier person in the dry heat...

    West Palm Beach

    I just like the warm climates. my career plan is to find the highest paying job that i can get in a warm climate and trade my own account until i am able to trade full time. I don't want a hedge fund job or a stock broker job. I want to trade myself and if i'm good enough i'll graduate to...

    Supporting yourself while trading pre-profit?

    i'm not married but pretty much there. One thing i learned is never ever ever tell the women about your trading. They don't understand it and think if you have 1 million in your account they should be getting a mercedes and a huge house. They can't compute how things work in the trading...

    Keeping myself honest with yen

    More or less of a whip saw boring day, nothing good to report. In the posting absence i missed a few good trades but had a major loss and had my account down to $370. Here is what it looks like now. And again, for all the people who love to raise hell, this is to keep myself honest, if...

    Why do you want to be a trader?

    unfortunately i had to go to wal-mart to pick up my gf's pictures ( i always go to target) and this cashier lady didn't know what 10% of $48 dollars was. Granted when your on the spot its hard to spit out computations sometimes but come on. At least the mentally handicapped try their best...

    Am Stuck in the 2000k

    I'll be a senior in college this year and all this is 100% true. Everyone thinks they can play online poker, not many trade though. But still fast money is and always has been a problem whether it be drugs, gambling, or trading. Trading is like anything else, if your the top 1% of any...

    Tell me about your Uncle Point

    When you trade you can't think about the money or in the long run you will lose. Dont get me wrong making money is the main reason to trade. But once you start thinking about the $$ you let the two traits that all people have hinder your performance. Greed, Fear Those two reasons are...

    made me laugh especially since the type of people who mug others probably don't even know what the nasdaq is.

    OANDA's 15 pip cable spread

    Get over it, or you can just go to fxcm where they just won't let you trade. All brokers are upping the spread during news. Something you have to deal with if you want to trade at a bucket shop.

    Usd/jpy

    On the long term charts we are really in no man's land. No clear direction is obvious. I do not trade the long term trends and this "limbo" period of not being sure can last weeks or months. I'm a big price action / chart trader and i've look at daily charts as far back as the great...

    Hi! New FX trader! Please take a look...

    don't use all your leverage and prepare for the most awesome price action you'll see in most markets. truly a zero sum game where there are few winners. This forex game takes intense discipline. Please do not try to pick tops and bottoms in forex because you will be wrong more often than...

    'Idiot-Savant' Traders?

    Strangely i find myself remembering the days of my mom yelling at my dad for the same things. Cleaning when "normal" people should be sleeping or just forgetting stuff that they have talked about. Or my favorite, calling the house for no reason just to say what are you doing "nothing dad" ok...

    Please help me get started.

    Retail forex is a bucket shop period! No retail forex broker (non ecn) has a fidelity bond. BUT You can make money and you can beat them. Worst case scenario your account will get too big and they will not fill your trades. I think you'll be fine at oanda with anything under...
