eur/usd One thing I noticed with myself when I trade this system is that if I dont take the stop-&-reverse trade immediately, I start to second guess the trade, and decide not to enter. Even off 2hr charts, trading fx is difficult. It's a 24hr market and the most active times are those when...

Not the best last 2 days. I held YM over night, because I was stupid and started trading it in the late afternoon cuz I got bored, so thank god we had the move down. On eur/usd, I got stopped, but I failed to reverse my trade long, which would have been a winner. -303.30 on e/u + 220 on...

I never used these types of orders in my life. I called the guys at tos, but they treated me like an idiot for not knowing, so I basically hung up on them. I know what an OCO is, but its the ones that have "tgrs" next to them that I dont understand. 1 tgrs seq ...? 1 tgrs all ...? 1 tgrs...

I dont think id be able to trade if the guy next to me was wackin off.

One of the fx pairs im watching, but only have orders on e/u. Here is the range.

jan 10th - 14th update 9 trades 7 winners 2 losers edit --> net : 1,449.24 (9.66%)

After just closing my year long trade on fcx for 46 points, I can only wonder how many points I would have made in total over a year if I was day trading on a daily basis. I don't worry too much about it, because I know that I'll have losses and day trading also equals higher trading costs...

long mrvl and vfc

No trading today? AIG really moving now.

The reason why I make a crapy poker player is probably because i sit down at the table with the mindset of a trader. I'm used to only risking X amt of my capital, and waiting patiently for good trades/ hands. My friends caught on rather fast when I folded 80% of the time and would bet big the...

+ 190 on 2 contracts.

Good point of #3. I didn't think about that one.

1st of all, this is not a " is trading gambling?" Thread. I believe that trading is a form of gambling. Over time I've gotten a bit better as a trader, but I can't play texas holdem worth a damn...maybe if it was charted in some type of visual form, then maybe. Poker and trading are similar, but...

Sold all my FCX from when I bought it last year. + 46 points (1,416.93) A good start to the year. Now if only my 970 shares of C will jump.

Eur/aud is finally in profit after a big move against me.

These are the explosive moves that I'm talking about, however I didnt make any money on this trade. I figured like the past couple of trades, it would pop, retrace, and either go higher or stop me out. In this case, I didnt have a chance to add at the 50% level, and so I was stuck with one...

Everything works until it doesn't. :D for real.. don't get caught up in the philosophical bullshit.

Interesting pattern on BA. Got a symmetrical triangle forming, which is generally a continuation pattern. If it's true that AB=CD then price should make its way to 107.33...makes paying 70.15 look cheap. I want to buy some August calls, but I need to brush up on my option knowledge, as I...

Got buy order in for MRVL. Like the setup off the weekly chart.
