I haven't used it before. I'm overall happy with IE now that it has a built in pop up blocker.

I resaved mine too but it vanished after couple of days. For some sites like Yahoo and Amazon, I wasn't able to see their custom icons for a while. Good luck moving!

As expected today is turning out to be a slow day. I've done two profitable short trades. Probably this is it for me today. By the way, I've been trying to figure out how to display the "custom icons" in my IE favorites especially the links bar. This thing is so intermittent. For instance, ET...

I got stubborn and waited for a 25 pip pullback and missed the long train during the 21 pips pullback. Well at least , I'm not shorting :) No trades this morning--a new milestone for me! I'm too tired today, I'll turn off my PC and get some rest before madness sets in! Good luck for the...

I became trigger shy this morning. Still waiting for that elusive 25 pips pullback :) To me this still looks like a it'll be a slowly up trending day. Gringinho, I didn't know you also trade the spot. Do you get guaranteed stops ?

I was flat before the numbers came out. The book becomes very thin, and stops cascades more than the spot. Bonds are still up. I think today will be one way street, I'll go long after a pullback. Edit: How did you manage not getting stopped out around 1.2280 right before the numbers came...

There were some wild swings right before 8:30! I couldn't catch the long trade due to hesitation within the first 10 minutes. I'm hoping for a 20-25 pips pullback to jump in. Now it's pulling back...

Yes, it was like watching paint dry! Perhaps, we'll see the big bang tomorrow--200-300 pips range day maybe. Greenie's speech is coming up in 5 minutes. Bonds are creeping up.

Well said!

I agree about the players almost like market makers. Even during the odd hours, there are individual bids/asks with > 100. CME replied really fast: ------------------------ Hi, I was wondering if CME has market makers for Euro FX futures or has a program that arbitrages between the...

I just sent an e-mail to CME asking about if they have market makers or actively arbitrage between spot and the futures. It'll be interesting to hear what they say...

It looks like we might have another tight range day. Perhaps Fed VC Ferguson's speech will deliver a jolt to EURUSD.

Flashboy, do you have a trading plan that you can follow? I realized that my plan had conflicts between rules and I had difficulty to follow it. I ended up simplifying it as much as possible. One way to prevent "one-day" wipes it all scenario is by sticking to to your plan . Do the thinking...

Nice job. I was doing OK until this last slide. Oh well. This is it for me today too. Time to get some rest.

I've done both meditation and visualizations separately. I haven't tried combining them. Let me tell you, meditations were helpful in everyday life since they made me realize that I have the power of controlling my own mind. And the all of these negative thoughts can be controlled. I had...

It is the self-talk/chatter. Most of the time my mind is occupied with the mistakes that I've done in the past and worries about the future. Perhaps what I think as mistakes happened through some random events that I have no control over. These thoughts are not the absolute single "reality"--...

I initially used 10 tick stops. But now tightened them to 4-5 ticks. I've been taking 5-6 pips profits on several trades--no whale sharks today :) I found my harmony with the markets today. Now on this last position I'll go for 15-20 pips profits.

I guess we might be able to tie these two. For instance, one can combine a mediation session with a visualization session. After meditating 15-20 minutes the mind will clear up. Then we start visualizing charts, the trading plan and taking trades according to the plan. We can visualize...

I have done simple meditation for a while. It was amazing how the chatter in my head came to a halt during my sessions and slowed down afterwards. I had a taste of what is meant by living the moment and not worrying about the past nor the future. The lesson I learned is that the stresses we...

I'm long here from 1.2283. If I get stopped out, this might be the last trade of the day.
