Most retail Forex brokers are currently closed but currency traders can still get the price of the Yen and the New Zealand dollar here, for example: USD/JPY: http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/USDJPY:CUR NZD/USD: http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/NZDUSD:CUR USD/JPY is currently at 104.37...

It better be, I just ordered some sushi and sake :p

Buying USD/JPY again, this time at 104.20 (previous long USD/JPY position was initiated at 104.10 and closed at 104.35)

Short NZD/USD at 0.8185

NZD/USD is moving as well, I will wait for confirmation before shorting this pair...

Ok, now we are going somewhere. So yes you will make more money with the same trading system using the smaller time frames, simply because you will trade much, much more frequently. And no, the hourly rate is not an issue if you automate your system. So, at the end of the year, Sam...

You are talking about retails traders, I was talking about corporations and high net worth individuals who trade directly on the Interbank. If the CEO of BMW in Munich wants to buy 50 million US dollars right now, do you think he will have to wait until Christmas is over to do so, or wait for...

+25 pips on USD/JPY ($250 profit per standard lot), closing position.

Yen seems to be breaking now, keep going boy, or the leprechaun gets it! :p

So if you like to play the guitar and join one or more online guitar forums to share your passion, ideas and techniques you are a loser? Interesting concept.

Careful TradingJournals, "A bas la veille" does not mean anything, even in French :p

Really? Trading dictates the price you pay for bread, sugar, coffee, gasoline, meat, corn flakes, interest on your mortgage, car loan and credit cards, etc... Almost everything you buy depends on trading in one form or another.

When are you people going to learn that leverage has nothing to do with risk? I can trade with a 500:1 leverage account and still risk only 2% of my capital on each trade. 500 to 1 leverage simply means that your broker will allow you to buy (or short) 500 units of something with only 1...

A real trader does not concern himself with any particular financial instrument, be it gold, sugar or Mexican pesos. If horse shit futures is moving up he will buy horse shit futures contracts, if they are liquid enough (no pun intended), period.
