I go through times where everything I touch turns to mudQuote from Jack_Larkin:
... dude, you had us thinking you blew up with that butt hurt thread about not being able to hit the side of a barn door.
lol..
man, I learned my lesson
got short the dollar like every good cnbc watcher and made some money
then I noticed Jan 1 2013 something was happening. Looked like fiscal cliff deal anticipation short covering so I got long and made some money
Then I figured the move was overdone and got short again
Then I realized I had been trapped by fomc
never again wil I get directional
I'm
long aud.usd
short eur.usd
long gbp.usd
long usd.cad
that makes me
long aud.cad
long gbp.cad
short eur.aud
short eur.gbp
and there I'll stay, doing my normal thing, adding and occasionally subtracting
at first it was a really big deal, hitting a new account high. Now I realize, that's just my normal job, and I'm supposed to do that every month.
