About 180 emergency workers have been working in shifts to manually pump seawater into the overheating reactors to cool them and stave off complete meltdowns. They were emerging as heroes as their sacrifices became clearer, and as they stepped into ...

looks like solar stocks are going up, makes sense. Too bad it won't be sustained url

I'm same way, when crisis = opportunity. 83.27 weird intermediate dbl m top, followed by crazy fast momentum would have caused a force flip, luckily in right direction. on spike down, strong impulse should not retrace quickly. By unwinding some ...

Iodine and evacuation is for safety, not necessarily for meltdown. Yes, enemy is unseen, but this does not mean we need to panic. Quick, calm and cool. The enemy at this point might be cesium released into atmosphere. But Japan has filtered most of ...

radiation levels at 10.65mSv at plant 1. About 1/2 dose of sitting through a ct scan. Still, somewhat dangerous, but no where near "catastrophic". From news sources, the plants have high radiation "within the core", which is expected. I am not sure ...

radiation within legal limits now apparently

How do you keep heartbeat down through fingers? Personally, I just breath slower. Will doing that prevent stage fright? I've got a performance coming up. To be fair, japan has a shield around their reactor...only time will tell. You guys remember ...

Using technical indicators often leads to rigid methodologies, as well as biased opinions. They serve only to reinforce psychological confidence. From a statistics point of view, the EMA does a terrible job with time series data in the fx market. ...

8.9 now. It seems that their airports, trains and ports are all shut down. Transportation is a wreck. Japan's main refineries are shut down, some are burning. Their pipelines have ruptured and the nuclear power is shut down (thank god there is no ...

Hi, with all due respect, you may want to read at least the first 250 pages of this thread. EMA's, retrace tools ect should not be used.

I talked with a previous hedge fund owner and an fx desk manager. He thought it was funny that I traded currencies in the sense that I have no competitive advantage besides the fact that it is liquid (which can be a problem in itself). He mentioned ...

My sincere sympathies, 33 is too young. We're here for you, take as much time as you need. I will keep your message with me always.

hmm... down trend is deep, now need to be nimble. Markets volatility low, poor chance for rescue if caught. Ranges not great enough to be scalped due to spread. Small sell scout reports uncertainty, will have to wait and see if trend holds. No ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

yes, I am very lucky to have fti push me in a good direction. In retrospect I am asking too many questions without doing due diligence on my part as a student. It's like bugging your professor without having read the textbook. I have downloaded and ...

What's the correct interpretation for your dance? I am finding it hard to read the transcript without having been there while you were trading. Sorry for the misuse of the term hedging, I am taking accounting in class, so no dealing experience. So ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks, I thought the hedging thing was fishy myself. Afterall, the banks use FIFO so hedging is only a mental thing. So why is there a short position of equal size (am I reading the transcript correct?) Why was there an open position on swissy when ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

yes, it's very interesting. I am doing baby steps on options in a classroom (via university) so I need to juggle school and mindset at the same time. Another reason to stick to currencies- I do not think that I can find a job in options. Apparently ...

I know I am getting ahead of myself, but I am asking out of curiosity. Everyone has their scorpions, mine is being curious and always asking questions. I am still practicing and re-reading as fti suggested.

Technical Analysis Fallacy

My study of options really opens up the idea of time and volatility in the market place. Is it possible to make certain positions using spot currency contracts that mimic the advantages of option spreads across different pairs? Since the spot ...
