ranger - would you mind expounding on your personal transformation a bit? I feel like my temperment is good for trading, but I'm interested in how your minset has evolved.

no system stuff. I just like the warm fuzzy feeling I get when I short euro and cable looks like a short and swissy looks like a long.

I watch all the majors. eurusd usdjpy gbpusd and usdchf. I trade eurusd and rarely usdjpy on asia, and whatever looks best on europe hours. I watch the entire board for confirmation tho, no matter what I'm trading. however, this hasn't been too helpful recently haha.

I just have a picture of your mom. keeps me focused.

hedging is for losers. how will the firms know who the losers are now and not hedge them?

pretty bold to issue an 18,000 year forecast ...

Haha you just described what I hated about working in Real Estate 2 years back and described me the way my friends would. God I was born for this shit.

hey, for now you dont need to be a CTA. You cna ust have your broker do some segregated account deal over which you have power of attorney and they have account access and youll be fine till they close up that forex loophole.

Medellin is much safer these days, a lot has happened in the past 3 years. Most would say Cali is more dangerous, Id think. However you mention the most dangerous part - las calen~as. Holy crap I am addicted to brown ass. Ive only done Bogota and Medellin down there. Lived in BBAA for a...

hey, we ARE up on really bad jobs data. 57 minutes to hold. maybe its shot covering or maybe we get continuation monday. have a nice weekend!

my internet savings makes more than the money market options I've seen, tho they did recently reduce my rate from 5%. if you have money market funds making 8% somewhere, feel free to pass that name along.

ah no nothing overnight. I am very reassured that you do this as well, as I've seen you refute posters claims that more leverage is the same as more capital, and I was afraid I was moving to the dark side haha.

Im moving in with my grandma next week for a variety of reasons. Im not sure she will even notice Im there, shes 94.

you know what, I recently can open my own account (was trading for a firm prior), and now that its my money I realized I want to deposit as little as possible with my broker. Ive really changed my mind about this leverage thing. Is there any reason I cant, for example, trade a $2k account...

Funny, I now sort of trade for a living because I got fired tonight! Yay! Seriously, I am getting a mindless day job and trading asia and europe opens. Hopefully the mindless day job will have something to do with mindless girls, which were largely absent from my last position. Maybe Ill...

read the books, then you will know what some of the other market participants are thinking.

my trading situation is such that I have no say at the moment.

that sunday they had a freaking meltdown and couldnt close things over the phone either. I called them every 30 mins. it was 3 hours or more, and completely unacceptable. Sunday open is perilous enough to have to deal with that shit.
