Yes, ok to burn, now that I've gotten to use all the ET Codes I've always wanted to but were afraid to try.

Now, if only the global community of FX mini-account holders would long AUD. Or at least enough of them to keep it trading my side (north) of .7340.

Here's Bloomberg about one hour ago, trying to give me an assist (I'll take it): _______________________________ June 27 (Bloomberg) -- The Australian dollar may advance on speculation its 2.7 percent drop this month is too steep given stabilization in prices of commodities and equity...

Thanks. I am choosing the avg in b/c -- and this explains my tongue in cheek -- the last few trades I posted were premisely correctly in whole or in part, but were disastrous otherwise -- as in "when you're right, you're wrong."

Ah, you are becoming wise, grasshopper. And what of the converse. Also true? Converse. "Reversed, as in position, order, or action; contrary."

Bought one near-month AUS future last session (Friday), at bottom of my entry range, .7315, and will buy one more, averaging up, at .7340 if traded there this week. If avg.-up entry for second is met, will set stops for both at .7230, a shift up from stop for first, .7205.

Agreed. But there's more to it, say for instance, is DrawDown more like Paulie or, given his humungous bankroll, more like Woltz? I'll entertain other comparisons.

Eviscerate? Eviscerate! Geez, Nick deJour and I must have the same taste in movies. "Exterminate? That's a bad word to use: exterminate! Get this guy. Watch out we don't exterminate you [laughs]." Guess which movie?

At the risk of inviting any pro’s fade of my customarily amateurish calls, I recommend the Australian dollar over the USD in the current futures (near month) range -- say .7340 anywhere down to .7315. I’ll buy one or two in that range this session, looking (and waiting) for as much as...

I could not disagree more about the trading opportunities of late in US treasury futures. From April or so of last year, which is the time period I'm most familiar with, the 10-year has produced excellent set-ups and risk/rewards -- that is for trades of days or weeks duration. I don't...

Thanks for the reply.

Bumping this post to smoke out those ETers who, unlike me, have a clue about what's going on.

Hells bells, if I'd known this was a marketing thread, I'd told you what I think about Saxo. But I'll let your effort speak for itself.

In the interest of balance, I should note that the same (above) should be said of George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and Al Franken (although Bruce's jones shorted him the benefits of celebrity).

I don't care for Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, or Rush -- not at all. But you've got to give them credit for picking their business and succeeding in it. Wealth and celebrity all for saying what comes to mind. What comes to their minds isn't worth anything to me, but it obviously makes excellent...

Did you read the "account information" page of this retailer? In addition to obvious problems of English as a second language, it shows that customers cannot withdraw money until their accounts have been "active" (a term with its own requirements) for 30 days, and after the account is docked 40...

Correct prediction which made mincemeat of my YEN short position.

Unknown, You're chief problem isn't an inability, seemingly, to find access to currency options, but instead that you lack knowledge enough of the topic even to recognize and understand the dead on advice given you by one trader thoroughly skilled in currency options. You've also ignored --...

Alternative premise (". . . or less obviously resistance at USD/Yen 110.00 cash, prove a USD buying opportunity") proves accurate yesterday and today, and is the only reason my YEN shorts, average in at .009073, have not been stopped out. But no pause or retreat in gold; therefore, dollar...
