nice job today -- you would post the attachment, then copy the URL of the attachment, then edit the message and use the IMG tag to point to the URL of the image. BUT, most people on this thread don't seem to like that, so I wouldn't if I were you. If people want to look at your picture, they will click the link.

Thanks Ammo
I needed to hear that to. Took 6 trades, but that was to many.
Patience and consistant profitibility I'm thinking for me, go together.

Thanks for feedback. Being choosy and waiting for the right trade is the way to go - i agree. I am very choosy in my fx trades which is my primary focus. I am just learning to trade ES and am now at an experimental phase. We will see how it turns out....As more time passesby, i can see myself going for lesser number of trades.
 
Ammo - they use the "IMG" tags. Just type [im*g] and [/img] around the .jpg or .png (or other image file online) link... just delete the "*" that I had to put in so it'd show up

Thanks for posting your p&l:cool:

Good luck everyone... even though we won't need it!
 
Trading resumes ...
Finally got my account reopened. I can't believe it took this long. My IB switched to one of the clearing firms involved in the first wave MF Global transfers. The clearing firm got swamped and it took them almost a week to get my new account application processed. Than there was a paperwork problem that needed straightening out (my IB had very old records that needed updating.) Anyways, I'm back online, but no trades yet.

I think I missed some big easy trades. Now you have to deal with the big gap up following the big gap down. Coupled with the underlying good economic numbers and bad eurozone, very tough to trade until the market makes a statement, possibly not until the close.

I feel a need to be a bit cautious in any case as I don't want to get over anxious to finally start trading again. Plus my account is not at the level I would like it to be pending the return of my MF Global funds.
