what is trans please ? DJ transport index ?

Ammo, just curious what was your biggest month ever ? would be inspirational to know.

Good to know, so you are a guy with 25 yrs of experience. Wow! I have only 3 years of non-continuous trading experience. It might be a stupid one but let me ask. did any of the guys who started with you (lets say 84-88 time period) have become really successful in trading and have been able...

wow that sounds pretty impressive. in euro contract terms, 40 contracts translate to 4.25 million. At a max leverage of 20, that will need 200k+ account size to trade. I sure hope I will reach there someday. Btw, if you don't mind how long have you been trading and how much did you make last...

i am shorting aud on this run up at 1.0370. on Thursday AUD unemployment number is coming. I will hold the short through the number, when in general i don't risk money in front of a number ....hoping to catch eventual sell-off either due to Europe news or some downgrade or Mideast tension or...

ammo, how many cars do you trade max ? just curious. because the way i do scale-in when a position goes against me is by buying/selling fx in increments of 20k euro (since i have a small account) and i can go upto 5 times, but usually i go only 2-3 times. My last scale-ins are typically of...

finally the lord has spoken!

its a good trade, the risk factor is some random headline from europe. i will move the target to 1.3710 though.

short 1255.5, will close at eod unless takes a lot of heat

stopped

going long here---1260, target - way up there (hopefully). stop 1257

Thanks for your inputs. If you have done the backtesting and verified that in your particular setup, trailing stop/be stop does make sense, then you must be correct, since as I said i haven't done any backtesting on es. However, what i said does hold true for ccys more often than not. In ccys...

I have a feeling (based on my backtesting fx strategies - i have yet to backtest es strategies) that with a target of 6 points and a 2/3 point stop, its not a good strategy to either use trail stop or bring it to b/e. Maybe bringing it to b/e might be a good idea when you are at least 5 point in...

curious what is your winmau dart board , and how successful it has been. Thanks nitro-I surely hope you will get time someday to do a quick summary. It will be great!

hahaha....i see it hit a nerve....chill man, the OP was just pointing out change in HK's economics/culture etc. after british left......what he has observed either personally or he has seen on tv or read on internet/press.....he didn't mean to question Chinese sovereignity.

No comments on AUD trade. However the action in energy and metals is not screaming monetary pump, rather it is screaming potentially destabilizing situation in Mid-east. Buying 2000 gold calls and 120 oil calls might just turn out to be the trade of the year.

Here's the reason for that rally - NET TV says Greek prime minister may be the IMF's Roumeliotis.

You have been just thinking loud in this post, but smart guys (like me :) haha) will file this post and take it to heart beacause in my experience there is so much truth in this post. Only thing I will like to add is break of either a trendline or a channel if followed by powerful momentum is...

This observation about scale-in/out applies to any instrument not just ES. The best way in my experience is to scale-in as the position moves against you and then take out the whole position in one go once it reaches its target objective. Important thing to keep in mind with this approach is...

+1 very good post.
