Hey Champ, Yeah, I bought the valleys, sold the peaks and pocketed 11,090 USD per contract (with 3,000 USD intraday margin, of course) in half a day's work. You do the math :D Best trading, Jorge PS: For those with no sense of humor/irony... just kidding... :confused:

Greg, Not to piss on your parade or anything - I'm all for your success, man, and I do envy you, I wish I could be 18 again, knowing what I know now. You got that 1:250 margin is insane? Good. Now get this: 1:100 margin is still way insane, forex or not forex. Yes you can double in no...

Cubical, no, you're not blind, just too many options bunched together - see attachment. Best trading, Jorge

Glad to hear that! :D Best trading

LOL :D

Hi Cubical, Yeah, it's happened to me too... twice. You can also change in the DOM properties the option "Simulation mode color" to something flashy, so you will realize it's in sim mode. Best trading, Jorge PS This is like the toast falling on the butter side every time, I've...

Hi, Neke, I thought you may want to reconsider the following exchange: ... just a thought (and I'm aware you work full time and can't keep track of the news like you would like to). I'm glad to see you up, keep up all the good work. Bet trading, Jorge

Hi Volente, Actually I think there is some misunderstanding between Duck and you. As far as I understand it, Duck will agree with you that it's easier to blow an account than to double it. I certainly do agree with you, but I respectfully think you're missing Duck's point (maybe you read...

Hi Volente, I was writing my post as Jack and you were posting yours (I had not seen them). No, that's not so, I think that Jack explains that in his post. For example - if I understand correctly, if you trade a volatile instrument and you set a really, really tight stop-loss you're going...

Good point, though. Best trading, Jorge

Hi Duck, Losing = easy Losing on purpose = difficult If losing on purpose was easy, so would be winning, you would just have to fade yourself. Some answers were really smart and took advantage of some openings in the scenario initially proposed (no commissions, but no restrictions on...

Hi Intermarket, what about oil (apart from the USD, indeed)? Thanks, best trading, Jorge

Hi Mark, could you please paste links or give us some keywords for (some of) those threads? I've come across a few ones on tape reading, momentum, etc., but it's really like finding a needle in a haystack. Best trading, Jorge

Johnny, I wouldn't normally recommend to anyone to quit work/school to start learning to trade, but hey, if you wanna take a year off from work/college while you live at your parents, I don't see what the problem is (just as if you wanted to take a year off to go travel, learn to play the sax...

Hi Jack, could you please post a clearer/larger picture? Thank you, best trading, Jorge

Diamond, thanks for the advice, I'll surely keep an eye on the Euro. Congrats on catching that huge move on oil. kxvid, thank you for the info, I thought it was only a reference index, but I'll definitely look into it. Best trading, Jorge

Hi Diamond, What kind of plays do you do in oil? With this volatility I don't see how you could do anything other than ultra-short or long term (if you have massive capital). Best trading, Jorge

Holy cow! 22%? When I grow up I wanna be like Neke. Good job, man, glad to see you coming back up. Best trading, Jorge

Hi duck, Actually, I think that - assuming we are talking about a non-profitable trader to start with - he and his family are as good as dead. If you leave out commissions, spreads and options (that one was really clever, robbie) and stick to "regular" trading strategies, I am sure the...

I wouldn't touch CFDs with a ten-foot pole. Best luck all the same, Jorge
