sorry if I was not clear in my initial message.. I was talking about a setup in a specific currency pair on a longer term chart that is either looking very bullish or very bearish going forward.. for example, February and March 2006 NZD / USD made a huge move down for about 600 pips...

Hi all, I have been trying to find a good place that has free end of day totals for NYSE volume and a history of it. Can anyone cue me in on a site that has it? I know yahoo finance has the last 5 days of volume. And www.nyse.com has last months daily totals.. but was hoping...

well I think i will use a range target instead of one solid percent like 5%. so perhaps 3-5% is better... and I could add the use of trailing stops to get better gains when available and appropriate.. but the reason I do not want to just generally accept 1% to 20% is because of the...

Well actually I am devising a 'plan' of sorts..and at least according to this trading plan I still always want to aim for 5% whether I am trading 300.00 per trade or 300,000 . the idea here is to avoid greed and try to stay consistent.

i have never traded forex before.. just opened a demo account with fxcm with fake 50,000 starting capital. my first 9 or 10 trades were winners.. the AUD trade was sold automatically for reasons I do not understand since I never had a sell order in for it... either way, how am I doing...
