The Canadian Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, touched on this yesterday on a Canadian news program. He thinks that unless China agrees to let the Yuan appreciate, other countries will begin placing tariffs on China, which will hurt all countries involved. He specifically mentioned USA as the...

Forgive me for being skeptical, but I used to play quite a bit of poker myself and know how extremely hard it is to crack the top 10 at the WSOP, let alone do it three times. Indeed, many pros you see on TV have not even accomplished this feat. Is there any way to back up your claim? PM...

Tread carefully. Especially in forex where things tend to move very quickly. You seem to be on the right path regarding training/education before jumping in with both feet. Also, I would not recommend using all or even a large portion of your wealth until you are comfortable. Start small and...

Did you read the article? I am no expert on the subject, but what I gather from the article is that China has recently enacted new regulations for anyone wanting to register a .cn domain (picture ID, Chinese business number, registration forms, etc.) This event alone I think would be...

I think it's great that you've reflected and realized a weakness in your trading. This will inevitably make you a better trader. The question is, what steps are you taking to minimize/overcome the negative effects of overtrading?

Congrats on last week. Here's to your continued success.

Wow. Another person has jumped to conclusions about my post. Please reread. I don't make predictions about the economy. I don't have a crystal ball, as many others on this site seem to have. I trade what I see. I will refer you to the other two responses I've given to others. By...

I'll respond in the same way I responded to the other poster. Only to you, I will give you the respect of not name calling, as you've done the same for me. My comment was on the invalidity and bias of the poll. I wasn't commenting on my personal view of the US economy. Please do not jump...

Alright listen, pal. I am not American. I couldn't give two fucks about liberals or conservatives or republicans or whatever the fuck. I don't like Obama, or any other American politician for that matter. I simply pointed out the flaws of the poll. Save your bullshit political rants for...

+1 Not sure if it's the same in the USA, but in Canada all I need my debit card for is to login to my online banking and to withdraw cash. Any type of POS or bills, etc. are paid with credit card.

Strange how you consider this conpiracy theory to be Wall St. News.

An earlier poster nailed this on the head by saying they are not normally sustainable. Either that or there is significant risk involved. Also, price will get crushed if the dividend gets cut.

It's a VERY long read. Literally took months of reading, but was well worth it. Look up the thread "Technical Analysis Fallacy" on forexfactory.com

I agree about giving a trade time. It's very difficult to get entry timing perfect, which is basically what you're asking for with a hard, tight, initial stop loss. I've heard of other people also placing this "catastrophic" stop loss. While I don't believe there is any harm in this, I...

:D LOL This post made me laugh out loud. Good stuff.

Agreed. In fact, I would advocate not using a stop loss at all. But of course, everyone's system is different. To each his own.

There is a thread on Forex Factory started by an ex-top currency guy at SocGen and he confirms that stop sweeps absolutely 100% do happen in the forex market.
