    Euro Crashing

    mahras, I think FXsKaLpEr is a schoolkid pretending to be a trader seeing the nonsense he writes. Looks like a nice sunday night run of the stops, and now it gets time to go back up again. Lets see if there is substance behind this downmove or not.... Time alone will tell, in the meantime...

    Best off the shelf trading PC ?

    You do not specify what you specifically want to do with it, neither do you specify all the software you want to use at the same time. What you are asking is far too generic to give any sensible reply too. A lot depends on the indicators & charts you have up at the same time. For instance...

    Are you ready for a new LOW in Euro below 1.18?

    The long term trend does not get affected by a sudden upheaval like a storm. After a panic the trend will return initially to its previous behaviour before changing. For the long term trend to change direction takes time and this does announce itself to the astute observer. The uptrend...

    Too many Doomsday predictions for there to be one.

    End of month games to "balance the books", Katrina, some news that the big boys are waiting for & we had a few long range days. Then tomorrow Non Farm Payroll. Which means we have a slow overnight market and likely a slow day ahead. Sheesh, big suprise!

    Question for Grob/Hershey

    Grob109, Thanks for the information, still in the learning stage and not yet ready for intraday stuff (have a day job). Once I have more confidence and have something to contribute then I will. The quoted post had a chart as attachment and the chart mentioned centering. Maria

    Question for Grob/Hershey

    Hi, Am partway going through this thread. Looks good! I am sure I am missing something that has been answered somewhere else but cannot put my (little) finger on it and I wonder if someone can put me back on track. When the prices are "centering" then what is one supposed to do? :confused...

    IB Problems?

    Had yesterday during the Globex hours for 5 minutes the red color. Was going to log a fault but by that time it had come right. Being longer term traders we are not too worried about it. M.

    INTRADAY TRADING: Small stop chop versus big stop drawdowns

    No "trading" stop - we get out on a suitable location once we determine that the trend that we are trading has reversed on us. (If you rely on a stop then something is wrong with determining YOUR trend) We do have a "crash" strategy. Cannot outline in detail what we are doing, am not...

    Dell Recovery CD -- nonexistant

    We have got two IBM laptops and we had to pay for the "recovery disks". However we like IBM because their "update connector" is about the best automated software update facility that there is for the hardware. Maria

    Exit methods for trend-traders

    I just asked a question based on the simple fact: that the arithmetic based on your infromation does not add up to the net results This discrepancy is the cause that one has to put in big question marks the rest of your story. :( 20 points per month on USD $1000,- margin (as you...

    Exit methods for trend-traders

    [/B] Hmmmmmm.......... Let's say: 20 trading days / month average 2 trades a day minimum 3 points profit on winning trades 85% winners which will give 20 (days) * 2 (trades) * 0.85 (% winners) * 3 (points) = 102 points gross profit. (conservative) Now: stop loss 2 points...

    tampa's Revenge

    Ahhhh, now I get the attraction. Was wondering why people kept on flocking and sticking to the room. But in all honesty tampa, and all kidding aside: I am most grateful for your journal as it gives other traders the motivation to keep on trading as long as there are sheep [goats] flocking to...

    tampa's Revenge

    Electron When a person is genuine then you get a decent answer when you ask an question. When they are full of BS then they have 1001 excuses of not giving an answer. When dad asked a question of Kiwi, Fitzy, GB007 he always got a solid answer and they were helpful. As they say: Actions...

    tampa's Revenge

    Madam Most definitely not! How do you dare to think that! My late father came up with this getPoorQuickly system after he discovered that 99.99% of all getQuickRich and TrustMeIknowWhatIamDoing systems did not work. Being openminded as he was he quickly appraised the value of his...
