Protective OTM puts/calls are probably cheaper than super wide stops = better returns @ higher leverage.

This is an omen, you're the second person to have mentioned that in two days.
I'm planning on building a short Eur/Usd from around 1.48 up to around 1.50 and was planning on a stop above 1.60 which is kinda wide for me but I believe the risk:reward is ok, is this a viable alternative do you think? This is new territory to me....

Short EUR/USD on the open (Sunday Sep 20th and set profit target to 1.46 timeframe 1 week or less)

I only think up to 1 month ahead and that is a stretch. >1 day to 2 weeks is where I play.

Quote from DeeDeeTwo:
The Forex market is highly fragmented...
And surprisingly volatile and inefficient.
If you are an experienced stock trader with good feel...
And you trade on a bona fide ECN like IDEALPRO...
There is no reason you cannot be profitable.
After > 1,000,000 stock trades...
I've been trading Forex FOR THE FIRST TIME in 2009...
And my first 10,000 Forex trades have been nicely profitable...
(Which is a statistically significant sample)...
But keep in mind... I'm very good at this.
