    Things may be ugly tomorrow---Egypt

    Wow, you're way off in left field playing with the butterflies. LOL I was just going to say the same thing. Finally, we got some volatility in the baby. Hopefully it sticks around for a while.

    Trailing stop

    Move the stop to B/E as SOON AS POSSIBLE. After that it's up to you, but you need to figure out a reliable way to keep the profits you've made.

    How can you stop thinking in money terms?

    Automate your stops and get away from the screen. The more time you feel you have invested the more emotional you'll become

    Down 17 points on the S&P

    Expecting some type of regulation from the SEC by Monday. :cool: Seriously though, weekly chart's not lookin good.

    Beacon Energy BCON-- Why only 30 cents?

    Probably because they're diluting like crazy and they've got a float that could sink a ship. Now get outta here

    $25,000 minimum for daytrading needs to be changed

    I would love to see one of their rules get repealed. They've made way too many of them. Especially after the flash crash.

    Gotta put in a good word for Oanda

    I was surprised how well Fed day went. Flash widen for about 1-2 min and then smooth sailiing the rest of the time. Not exactly what I had expected. For 1 pip spreads I don't think there's a better firm out there.

    $25,000 minimum for daytrading needs to be changed

    This isn't even about daytrading. You can't do ANYTHING on 4 round trips a week. Swing trade with stops? Forget about it. Unless your account is $100. A 20k account and 4 day trades a week? Get real. SEC needs a wake up call.

    Actually no. I could care less. What does it tell me? I don't know? Look for further downside?

    Is Europe in the same boat as the UK? I don't see how the Sterling can take such a big hit and Europe feel nothing. Logic would have said the Euro would have been taken to the woodshed. Maybe that's coming right now though.

    $25,000 minimum for daytrading needs to be changed

    Taking on huge leverage is not the answer. If you have a 20k account, even if you swing trade 4 round trips in a 5 day period is NOTHING

    $25,000 minimum for daytrading needs to be changed

    I heard it was the DTCC as well. However, with HFTs and such, that argument means nothing. HFTs can place thousands in a day and people with less than 25k can't do 4 in one week. You know, maybe that guy who said he was going to shoot up the SEC went over board, but it's hard not to...

    YES but you cannot wing it. You need to have a good spot for them otherwise there's not much of an edge.

    Grinding it out, day after day

    You need to think a bit more positive. You're not digging out of any hole. You're compounding your gains from 2010 and a change in a year means nothing except on paper. You've got an edge. Take a break/vacation and reset yourself, you'll come back ready to go good as new. It may not...

    Cornix's Forex Trading Journal

    5 sec is WAY too quick. 10 second is too especially for any form of fading. 30 second is decent and most traders use the 1 min but even that's a bit quick. If you're just starting out use a 5 min chart and learn to take proper signals. Then drop it down. I wouldn't try running until you...
