Looks like a good place to enter short-term long. Will probably wait to see if there is another push down...

Yes they are. Took minutes from when I clicked submit to when my order showed up and then another minute for it to close. Luckily the market went about 20 pips in my favor in the meantime...

300 pip drop in one day and the market never came back. Fell 3000 pips in two or three months

Haha, well it doesn't hurt to feel good about yourself, but as a scalper you should know that many people have 100 or more winning trades in a row. When you're taking a few pips profit each time all it takes is one big sudden move to wipe that all ...

I'm beginning to wonder if the euro has finally picked a direction. Anyone been looking at the CoT? Speculators are so short it's scary. I don't think the EU is much better economically speaking than the US, but who's left to sell?

I was just having a discussion about this over on elitetrader a few days ago. Guy says it's impossible to make over 20% a year consistently. All I could do was laugh. So compared to that type of expectation I make "insane profits", at least in my ...

Damn, I've been playing around with my IB account since it just funded and opened a USD/JPY short. Came back and saw 3400 in the P&L column. Almost told the wife we were going to Morton's tonight until I realized they were giving me the P&L in Yen...

I blew an account and opened another. I tripled that account and then lost most of my profit on one trade. Couldn't deal with the emotional aspect of trading. Once I got ahold of that I became consistently profitable. Also switching to a much ...

Yeah, kept going in and out...annoying. I canceled my account with them a few years ago but thought they would have gotten their issues worked out by now. Guess I was mistaken lol. Oh well, still can't beat the commission and spreads

This happens often to me; I enter a sell at resistance only to see the price instantly blow past my TL or BB or whatever. When the price finally comes back it makes a U-turn right where I entered the trade. Nice explanation; it really helps put this ...
