I think you are making life difficult for yourself :D But since you asked, here you go, IB allows over 40 order types: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tws/usersguidebook/ordertypes/order_types.htm

Yep, and we are slowly transforming from a Republic into an oligarchy.

Soros is a crook. Many of his successful trades were based on inside information. (both government and private) http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/06/14/business/soros.php He robbed Russia and much of newly independent eastern European countries during the 90s

Trading activity is choppy today. On a side note, the equity markets are down -3% and euro/usd hasn't moved. This might be an indicator we have short term bottom in place.

Yes, they are good! From one account you can trade everything: stocks, forex, futures, bonds, etc.

That's true, but this is part of my day trade activity and I don’t like to carry the trade. I normally don't like to trade at the end of US session like I did today. So I might end up closing this trade out within next hour if nothing happens. I need to leave the office in a bit and...

just went short @ 12740 with a 40 pip stop, 80 pip exit lets see where this baby goes

HLB, ammo, Greenberg and co. want one thing: for you to accept their arguments at face value without discounting the messenger on account of their predictable ethnic bias. There is no point in arguing with these guys as you already know their position on any issue is a function of their...

Something tells me that Obama voters are now disappointed. :D You were sold lemon! You now have GWB II with another name, but same advisers. Sounds like you need to read up a little (Don't panic, the author is kosher): http://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Embrace-Jews-State/dp/0226296660...

Good job! Keep posting.

Exactly! I personally only trade EUR/USD and 30 yr bond futures. Tracking too many instruments usually causes me to become undisciplined and make random trades.

You don't need to have a large watch list to be successful. Remember: less is more. Stick to EUR.USD. It’s the most active, trends well, and always has a tight spread.

You are paranoid!

Good call on EUR. Did your trade go through?

Ah, that brings back memories. I used to buy the weekend edition as well. I was never a fan of WSJ, so IBD was the only other alternative.

The extra flexibility and lack of structure in Forex markets makes it easier for an undisciplined trader to shoot himself in the foot. You can't trade stocks with 100:1 leverage at 2 AM, which is probably a good thing because it acts a restraint.

rofls texrex2002's naggy wife comment was right on the money :D

apak, hang in there. You'll be fine. Do you set the risk/reward ratio criteria for exiting a position before or after you have opened a position? If the answer is after, then there is your problem. You are more likely to accept a lower R:R and make a poor exit decision while you are...

I was thinking about going short, but naw, i am done for the day. Don't want to give up my morning profits. :D
