    How to hold a winning trade?

    I think you can't change an order to a trail stop if it was executed already. So unless you want to start playing around with this order type use the "take half off strategy- My question is how to scale in a winning trade? Psychologically I can't do it. I don't want to bring up my average...

    Mr. Iran envisions 'major war' in coming months

    Occupied territory? You watch too much bbc. When I take your trading profits then you'll tell me that I'm occupying your cash too, right? They were in a war and won, period. Give them credit for giving any land back. You should have visited the entire middle east during the 90's and see...

    IN THIS THREAD: IronFist learns (the elusive) PRICE ACTION

    Try taking this approach to exit and enter trades. Look at charts 1,5,15 min. Go far back as much as you can with this (start with a week). Look for the pivots in each chart and write that down. Not just any pivot, but at what price did it hit and turn around a few times that day or week...

    Where is my money protected

    So with which broker can I rely to trade with? I was with IB and heard their commercial about being a save haven. (I switched over to infinity due to cheaper fees) Are there any others? What about all the brokers with the cme group? Suppose someone goes bankrupt, is my money safe? If so...

    AVERAGING down/up = success?

    This is what I meant in #4 of my list. Many times I do see a better trade and I'm stuck in a previous position. Another note Not being wrong isn't the only issue of sticking with the trade. Many times I stick to a trade and take profits only to realize that I did so too early. This leads...
