Yes, no losing trades since I opened the account in March. A fantastic run. I know it won't last! Edit: Yes to your edited question.

My main trade allows for the margin requirement plus 600 pips of loss. That means there is at best 600 pips of breathing room to place other trades. However, you can see that if the EURUSD goes 210 pips (approx) against me, I no longer have sufficient margin to place another trade, given that...

Yes, but the account is only a small fraction of what I have available to trade. So, it isn't real ruin. The trades simply exit, and then I'll add to the account again. Because, I have the ability to reload the account, my belief is that I can transfer far more out of the account in won...

For example, right now, after such a big move, I am tempted to go long USD/CAD.

I scalp other opportunities when I can. A few USD/CAD. A few shorter term EUR/USD. I think it is a mistake to simple stick to one strategy. You can have a main strategy, and then grab other opportunies as they present themselves. However, the other opportunies are restricted by the state...

If I had more time to watch this constantly, I'd devise a different strategy. However, I don't have time to trade actively. About 35 rounds (in and out) trades. Many of them have been less than 100 pips. The original capital is intact. Profit is now 140%. Given the margin requirement...

No, I'm not, SkAIPz. It works very well in pair like this that is trading within a fairly tight range. However, yes, at some point I expect to take a big hit. To date, my largest unrealized drawdown has been 31%. I simply wait for the 100+ pips and then transfer it out of the account...

Its about friggin' time! How many weeks was that??? Short now at 3214. May have been a mistake. Already against me 28 pips. Same rule as before. 600 pip stop loss. Exit around 100 pips unless there's a good reason to exit sooner. My record stands. I haven't lost a single trade since I...

Where EMG comes from obstetricians require only a math or computer science degree. While birthing EMG, EMG got stuck in an endless loop, causing oxygen deprivation and brain damage.

Lot's of people with math and computer science degrees also choose to get an MBA. They may be looking for a well rounded person. Many with only math and computer science degrees are socially very awkward people.

My return on my trading is quite low - slightly positive. However, thinking a lot more about my money situation over the last couple of years since I started trading, has greatly improved my overall financial situation. My non-trading income has doubled. My savings have increased...

... and I'm still long from 3096. Limit set at 3211. After that, I am actually going to go short for a change. Sell order set at 3214.

Actually, smallStops, this pineal gland issue is common subject of conversation on that forum I mentioned, together with political doom, financial doom, extraterrestrial doom, and, of course, tin foil hats. :D :D Having said that, there is bit of a competition to get news out first. I have...

There is a conspiracy forum that I visit once and a while just for the laughs. You sound like one of those nuts on that forum. Are you familiar with it? www.godlikeproductions.com

She sure did poke through that barrier as if it were thin air, but will it last? :D

I agree. P.S. Hope you didn't see what I wrote seconds ago, and I'm sorry if you did. It was an intentionally rude reply to another poster in a different forum. A little typing error. lol. :D

The DOW is up only 17% in 2013. This is very different from 50%. Eventually, we will see a 10% correction or less.

The Nikkei was up over 50% in 2013. This is a very healthy sell off.

97% of ET members fail to understand money theory even at a basic level, yet you expect a meaningful explanation understood by the general public?

Ignorance breeds fear. Why would you believe the dollar should buy as much today as it did 113 years ago?
