Is this sarcasm? What do you get?

I'd love to ... But then I'd lose my whole account once every week lol I just made $2000 since I made this post! By which I mean that I'm now only down $23k.

I have to aim for 100% annual ROI in order to match what I do otherwise.

This is max 50:1, but differs by pair.

Why is that? Too high leverage? I was just making common sense guesses based on movements towards risk havens (and AUD) in the wake of Russia invasion.

How long does it take your options trades to materialize, on average?

Ok. So for example if I had $40,000 in my trading account... 2% of that would be $800. At my leverage on EUR/AUD, that's the equivalent of a 0.00225 price movement. Are you saying I should set Stop-Loss at that level, even if it subjects me to random market noise? Or are you saying I should...

Overhead resistance means you think it will start going down again?

My problem in trying to do that is... The leverage is so high on these Forex and Futures... If I were to set a Stop-Loss to exit the trade before it gets too bad, then that would subject me to random market noise as opposed to fundamentals. I'm not arguing just for the sake of it. I'm just...

1. My account leverage dictates my timeframe unfortunately. I usually have at least a 10% gain/loss on my margin within just a few hours. I don't know how to avoid this. It's forcing my trades to be shorter term than I might want them to be (although I only complain when it's a loss). 2. Trade...

Apparently I didn't think my strategies through good enough before starting again trading last Thursday. Before yesterday, I had gained $5,000 on initial $40,000 account. I was feeling very confident. Then things started going wrong. Specifically... Copper future started going down, 30-year...

Was it oversold? Do you think it will continue to go down after going up the past couple days? Especially as compared to AUD and CHF? How important is ECB meeting on Thursday?

I think so too. But I am seriously hurting because of the pullback yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers it turns around soon.

The only people out in public will drive Teslas

But problem is... With such high leverage, I'm almost forced to do day trading whether I want to or not. Does anyone else encounter this problem? And I can't just lower the leverage because that's the leverage that's offered.

How did CHF do during 2008? What actually did well during 2008? I believe USD actually.

It's certainly not a 1:1 correlation. Much more nuanced.

Try aluminum/oil.

Idk. Same with long-term US Treasuries

I believe AUD is correlated to many other commodities other than gold. Definitely aluminum, probably copper as well. Aluminum ore (bauxite) is one of Australia's main exports.
