    Short DAX at 7740

    thanks for taking the time to answer. yeah, agree with your opinion on the dangers of DAX scalping- hence my desire to transition to more 'day trades'. you can have 8 great scalps and then one quick random woosh and you're red. i come from 20+ years of making a living investing. i decided...

    ugh just lost 20% of my account was short EUR

    i have an issue with being called a liar- most people with integrity do. if i were talking about some big gain, at least i could understand it. in fact, i've never posted how well i was doing b4 my 6 month implosion- casue i didn't want to deal with the healthy skepticism it would have...

    ugh just lost 20% of my account was short EUR

    i believe it's pretty universal. i did private equity deals in Europe and Canada and they all used m and mm on everything (term sheets, etc). KGB: yeah, your mind is trying to forget! every acct. i know has that 'kill me now' vibe on sundays, knowing they have to go to work monday. one thing...

    The joys of socialized medicine:

    i grew up 90 miles from the border, i know Canada quite well and get on well with all Canadians except the Napoleon complex hate everything US crowd. well, except Quebec- that's a combination of French obnoxious with Nap. complex- a nasty combo. the young in Quebec are great, though. as...

    ugh just lost 20% of my account was short EUR

    amazes me how many who trade have no background in money mgmt, acct or the like. if you did: m= 1,000 mm= million nobody in the business uses 'k' btw, if it were mm, i'd prolly be in a better mood- it would mean i had $72mm to lose!

    The joys of socialized medicine:

    except for all the hookers on every street corner of Montreal, nearly everyone else i see in Canada is obese- hardly an American phenom. seems every time i come across a post of yours you are shitting on the US with your not-so-subtle lack of capitalization of America or American, whilst...

    ugh just lost 20% of my account was short EUR

    you must not have much experience trading- if you did, you wouldn't make such a statement. i had a day in october when the currency took off (not a fed day or anything one could plan for). i got fucked for about 100 pips over what was a wide stop- $72m gone in the blink of a fucking eye. was...

    Fed buying treasuries.... question

    agree mostly, but your take on the chart data is way off. the 'rate of change' in consumer debt is due to credit lines being pulled- business data is more of same. not like this is all by choice- some is fear and, thus, saving. much though is lack of access to credit.

    Fed buying treasuries.... question

    or... 4. the PRC will be on the other side of the Fed's trade, taking a very nice capital gain on their treasury holdings and repatriating the $ to put to work to further their needed domestic projects to nudge their own consumer spending. not saying they'd sell out, but it wouldn't...

    Short DAX at 7740

    Asus: another nice trade. would you mind indulging me as to how you handle your stops and trailing stops? this trade was actually less volatile than many i've seen you in; where you've somehow ridden out really big bounces against you b4 reaching your target. still, in this trade, you'd...

    Hugh Hendry blows up

    congrats, you're part of the endless stream of children who inhabit this site who need to create false topic headlines in a desperate attempt to get attention. many of you idiots actually post about counting the page views- like you're jerking off as you refresh your screen, 'look mommy, 800...

    good luck. i almost took the trade but i'm leary- seems too easy. christ, that idiot Adami from fast money keeps yammering on about 741. seems like 'they' would push this thing thru to blow out all the stops and then take it down.* *worth noting, i've pissed away 2/3 of my acct since...

    ok, I give up , here the sickest thing Ive ever seen MUST READ

    the fact that you're not surprised and still started the thread is a commentary on you. start a worthless thread, count page views like you're counting imaginary girls you've laid in your 2nd life acct, and then post about the lack of insightful replies to your nonsense. i'm beginning to...

    'you go girl'. great job calling out red ink; because, of course, you have much more credibility on this board than he does. just check out the P&L thread to see what a moronic, worthless piker he is. i'm sure you make more in an hour than red, the poor hapless newb, makes in a year.

    Short DAX at 7740

    another nice trade. don't know how you do it. i have had so many unrealized gains turn to losses in the DAX that i can't seem to bring myself to hold thru the big moves- even when my target is well beyond where i end up selling (those are the ones that usually turn on me!). anyway, i bought...
