Variance aside, that's what we should expect. Moving a stop up lowers the survability of the trade, but also lowers risk to the original risk amount. Lower winrate at the benefit of lesser drawdowns. As someone else said though, we're not going to ...

Moving SL to BE is very wrong/noobish

You're right.

Your comments wouldn't make much sense to sports people, chess players etc. A number of top traders are on record as saying they love the market, they love the job.

If your question was clear, you should consider closing your account with them.

100, and that's why many traders close over the weekend.

Someone once told me that anyone who does this is not a real trader. Clearly they didn't position trade .

Looks fine to me. Not even the biggest pic on that page?!? Oh, forget hosting it somewhere, just upload it here (attach to post). It's easier, and imageshack etc often loses uploads.

A lot can happen in a few days, and 50 pips further down that monthly candle looks like others this year.

Talking shorterm? After that kind of rise, it's more likely to retrace than to continue much further. I think a short here to 2300 and stop at 2400 wouldn't be a bad play. Not my play though. I never said I couldn't trade, I said it was an uncertain ...

No offense, but anyone could've made that call and have been right about half the time.

Sounds like we trade similarly.

Not a good analogy. Let's say a man starts setting up a pizza stand on a street corner. A passer by asks the man what he's doing, and the man says he's giving away fresh, hot pizza for free. The passer by and others that heard the conversation line ...

I have no idea what is going on with the faster timeframes. If good intraday traders have had a hard 36 hours then I'd feel a little better about my current cluelessness. It's one of those times I feel like just walking away for a couple of days.

Many require a professional environment to do a job properly, and for some that requires an off-site office. I wouldn't mind an office in the city myself - I'd get the ferry to work, and get to chat up city babes in my awesome suits .

Trade at home or at the office?

Aghh, I love it how the market manages to just take out a stop before reversing - got caught near 2352.

"Riding" in this instance doesn't mean following someone, but giving them a bit of a hard time. And like I said before, I was only joking anyway. Gator's a good trader and doesn't need to excuse himself. And I'm certainly not looking for signals, I ...

And? You were a past-posting hero for 20 pips! Don't take me seriously, I'm just riding you in good fun .

EURUSD

Nice call when you're already 20 pips in profit .

Me, from 2330. Fingers crossed.

EURUSD

It was low 70's when I posted, and I've had these levels up all day. 80-90 interests me for a couple of reasons, including the daily pivot, but apart from that I'm waiting for 2330-40.
