Well, its official, I have retired from trading. I just closed my currency account, up about 6% over the last month or so. I am so into poker now there is no reason to even bother with trading. I am primarily playing 5/10 stud hi/lo now, and making way more at it than I do at work. I'm...

I think you would be crazy to use that 200:1 anyways. I get max 30:1 and don't feel comfortable using more than half of it. 30:1 is still way more than you need.

Forgot to say, I only play this way at loose tables, which these tournies usually are. If there are only 3 people seeing the flop I play tight too. Also, I play the $10 buy in and if you play higher I'm sure the players are better. I'm still enjoying playing against the worst but might try...

Its not so much that I catch good cards, its that my bad cards make big hands every now and then. I'll play J 8 offsuit all the time, and you would be suprised how often that wins. I do my share of bluffing also. The best part is that the other players usually think I am bad when I win with...

Actually I have a different idea on it. Before the stakes go up I will play all kinds of drawing hands, like 8,9 Kx suited, because if I hit I will get paid and only play them if they are cheap. Later on when the stakes go up then I tighten up and only play the best hands, with a bluff here...

Thanks for that link Shellback, it works great. Poker: I love poker! My $100 is up to about $400, it would be more but I have dropped a couple hundred playing in multi table tournaments, where I have had some incredibly bad beats. I'm mainly playing single table limit holdem tournies as...

What is weather trading?

Check out nextrend, best deal around.

I am going to try something. I am going to trade basically JR's breakout method on currencies, only I am going to do it off weekly charts. It seems as good as any other breakout method, so I am going to give it a shot. There aren't any trades setting up right now, and when they do they will...

How much is MM down on his losers he is holding?

Well this is really starting to turn into a poker journal, but oh well it is tied into trading. I've started playing Omaha Hi and like it a lot better than texas holdem. I think it is more skill, and easier to determine if you should keep playing or not. I'm playing PL 25 right now and doing...

That site gives charts for currency futures, anyone know a site that gives free weekly and monthly pair charts?

Is this a serious question? I will pretend it is I guess. I never said anything about living off $200, this is my current poker account balance. Thanks for the site easyrider.

Howdy folks. Still haven't gotten around to that currency analysis, been working ungodly hours. Getting ready for winter of course. :) Does anyone know of a site that gives free weekly and monthly currency charts? I am using saxobank right now, but they only give a few currencies. I...

It is still summer here but people keep telling me that when winter hits, it hits hard. I think I figured out why I am doing well at poker. I am not winning any more than my fair share of hands, but when I have good stuff I am really jacking the pot up. That is why. Good to know. :)...

I think I am going to hold longer. I make more money when I do, and it is very stress-free. Maybe I will even start using monthly charts, play for the big 1000+ pip moves. I started another poker account with $100, ran it up to 220 in about 6 hours over the last two days. I think I am good...

Stopped out last night, all positions are closed, up about 4% for the week. The mountain opens in under two months. :)

Took partial profits on the CHF, and still holdind JPy down from my entry. I am at just under breakeven though because I have been trading around the position a little. Up about 10% for the week between open and closed positions.

Closed out Aud position +35 pips. Didn't like the way it was acting. Still holding the others at losses. No worries though.

Thinking about playing some more poker after I read a few books. I can beat the higher tables if I get a little better, and then the money will be decent. We'll see. Positions: L USD/JPY, Short USD/CHF and AUD/USD
