Woo hoo.. Laetitia made $1200 in minutes on her first real forex trade!! wow... multiply that times the number of times the fed meets a year and you can barely pay the interest on her college tuition. Her parents must be so proud of her career choice. She does have nice tatas though, good...

Ha ha ha...Too funny

Yes he lost 28%, so what? It is a hit but it is not a fatal blow as long as his fund is liquid. At least he did right by LTCM clients who invested in JWM Partners by setting a high water mark to recoup past losses before fees were collected.

Must be time to write all those retainer checks to the white shoe law firms handling his post-BSC affairs.

It is just a matter of style and personal preference I think. I tend to only move stops to break even once the trade is very deep in profit as a worse case scenario. Chances are usually good that I will get an exit signal anyway or hit my set price target and get out of the trade in normal...

Just joking... geez. rough day at the office?

Yes, do not trust Zurich gnomes in any way. You will thank me for this advice.

I think every good trader should be a contrarian and a skeptic to a point but there is a valid observation that most amateurs think they are a contrarian just because they are foolishly fading a strong move and trying to "out think" the market. Running with the herd is the right move about 80%...

Who were your example traders? For Detailed Trader, mine was Warren Buffett. Not my style at all but I wouldn't mine having his retirement plan when I am his age.

cool, thanks. It says I am a "Detailed Trader". Sounds about right... gives some feedback on strengths and weaknesses too which is useful.

Giant lockbox.

Can you explain this a little more?

Yeah, I agree. If you want to buy oil, buy it directly. CAD has other factors at work besides the petro-correlation that can mess you up. Even with 90% correlation that 10% can ruin your day. Back in 2006, I remember hearing about Dennis Gartman, who runs a pretty respected newsletter...

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing but stopped myself because maybe discussing it on here will help others to learn. Maybe the OP can go off and do his research and come back and educate the class?

Normally, I would agree about not posting off-topic stuff in the main forums, but the OP is right. This spamming is affecting the entire site so posting this thread in whatever forum gets the mods attention is justified.

Yeah, you would think they could get this under control by banning the IP address or just start deleting these accounts as soon as they post this crap. They really need to get this under control soon.

I know, that is what I said earlier. You should call IB's support and get their tech folks working on this. They will respond if you present them with the issue. It could just be an issue that was introduced with the latest build of TWS or something. FYI, it is also doing this with other...

Yeah, that pullback was promising but didn't last long. The USD Index looked like it was going to break 75 and test 80 for a day or so but looks to be headed back towards a re-test 71. We'll see if it can hold or not and we could be seeing the 60's for the first time ever. It could get real ugly...

How is Bush personally ruining your life? Are you in the military? I can't wait for his administration to be over either and can't stand what he has done overseas but it hardly has any affect on my day-to-day life. If you live in Iraq or are a family member of an active duty solider then I...

I'm not sure why they expect any bailout money from the government. Don't they know that we usually only waste money on needless wars overseas and pork projects domestically. The Fed is only giving money to Wall St to prop up the remaining banks and improve their bottom line. I don't agree with...
