    I think IB lumps in trades from prior evening, anyways +780 compared with yesterday, although positions still open.

    Usd/cad

    I would hate to be short from the recent lows though -- I don't know if patience would save a trade from there.

    Usd/cad

    Good job. Usd/cad is actually acting sane today.

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    Something simple I read in a no-limit book that applies well to trading (not like I'm any good at either, but I took something from it): Big bets are for big hands.

    Taking profits is hard - How much you left on the table today?

    Why drive yourselves nuts with this thread? It's always better to close out too soon, you'll suffer alot more holding out in effort to "maximize" gains and seeing open profits go back to 0 . . . or worse.

    PL and more trades

    That's the paradox of trading isn't it? Knowing the rules, and knowing when to break them. I think you're both right -- you can only break the rules when you completely understand why you are following them in the first place.

    Oil Mini-Glut Is Coming: Short Oil Stocks

    Isn't the natural gas market in the same spot, so to speak, with scarcity of storage causing nearby prices to fall sharply versus back months? Correct me if my causality is off.

    'Tis the Season

    Your analysis and timing were right on the ball. But will you hold long yen in isolation even if the dollar rallies against other majors? Looks like it's still holding up well despite everything else (and I mean everything) going down.

    Have faith in technology . . . oil companies are just squeezing as much as they can before they become obsolete.

    Trader P/L 2006

    Didn't get a chance to post yesterdays, a -1750 or so. Not good to trade when the wife is in the process of kicking you out. :) Back up and running just now, so no trades today.

    How much do you need to realistically make it?

    That's always been the question I've had -- how much would you leave in your futures account to trade, relative to what you use? For those already successful and not still on a learning curve, wouldn't it make sense in highly leveragable instruments to just leave a "minimum" amount in one's...
