This gave me the biggest headache and there's no easy answer. A simple strategy was vertical spreads for me.

lol. You're nuts. I've met plenty of people like you. They're all messed up.

Good stuff. :)

No, you're right. Just a bitch from what i've been through. Trend-following and fading strategies don't mix. This is my opinion but here's the thing to remember though. You're going against the grain so your stops need to be bigger, your targets need to be bigger (to make it worth the...

I don't fully agree with that. FX runs edges all the time. Stocks are usually fairly consistent in their little box of S&R/trends. FX is a great market though. Much better run even though that's contrary to popular belief. In FX fading is a BITCH. No sense in doing it if that's...

If something seems wrong. Good list :). I've got about a 10 page paper written so far haha. 1 for each year ;P

damn.....similar strategy as me too (possibly better). Most importantly you've got a textbook risk-reward too (KEY). Welcome to the site.

Shit in/ Shit out. What do you expect. If you can trade a SIM but not trade live......you're not REALLY trading the SIM correctly at all. That or you're trading too large a position live. Either way, I don't totally agree.

thought it started off pretty decently.

ughh cramer

I think it's funny because this is all something we'd wished upon early in our career i'm sure. Anyone bashing the OP must still be having "issues" with red ink IMO.

That's assuming no one's stupid enough to over-leverage themselves....which I guess for you I maybe shouldn't have made that assumption? you're right. Average down. That's way better.

where'd u go? u still on the bid?

Very nice trade. Curious, what was your basis for how quickly the EUR/USD would move....(you mentioned friday). I'm not all that interested in the target, but your assumption it would move by the end of the week was spot on. Are you using cycles at all or was it just an assumption?

That's why you have to be careful using indicators.

Nice call here. :) Personal was 1.44

lol exactly. Couldn't have said it better.

LOL. WOW. Averaging up leads to a margin call? You have to be the biggest fucking dolt on this site. I thought I'd never see the day......just wow.

That's not it at all. You've gotta be kidding me. Look at oil, gold, and wheat just to name a few. The dollar is gonna be trash and they're protecting against inflation on the long end (dumping bonds). Fed has the low end pinned. I don't understand what the fed doesn't get.
