I'm just waiting for this to rocket up. Kind of upset that I was distracted for that pinbar. I could tell it was going to bounce but too busy this morning to keep an eye on it and profit from it. Would've been a nice 50 pips for a rebuy.

Nvm, history confusion. They just rocked the spread up to 5 pips(double) when it moved up 5 pips. Just enough to take me out and have it hidden from the display, naturally.

OANDA margin call

There is a LOT of information missing. The timeframe, what news is involved, what news is expected, how the market moved up until that point, ect. Blindly I would go with B. The long up candle followed by two short long candles and followed by a ...

I'm already ahead of you. And not by choice!

If you say so... but it's, conventionally, what every new trader tries first. It's 'unconventional' because it doesn't work and anyone that tries it loses their account. Crucial Point has his system calibrated almost perfectly to catch any slam ...

The Black Swan Experiment

The problem isn't that you're missing slam dunks. It's that you're making nothing off the slam dunks and letting small moves against you blow you out of the water. You have to stay solvent long enough to find the real slam dunks and let them reach ...

The Black Swan Experiment

"What you're starting to learn from this" is correct. Which is why traders try not to go for broke; it's very rare that you can be supremely confident.

The Black Swan Experiment

Not much of an experiment. We all know the end result. $200 certainly would've been a decent meal. It's a shame.

The Black Swan Experiment

I have the capability to draw into additional funds if necessary, far greater leverage available, and no regulations on how I handle my risk. I decide how much more I can afford to lose, how much more I can afford to put in, and that's what caps my ...

it won't go too far. NFP friday and government paranoia. Next wednesday though...

Exactly what I am looking for. Up we go. Thank you.

It means don't expect to get your money back any time soon. Your competition is very patient. I just finished waiting 2 months for a good chunk of my account to play out. My reward? +15% to my account today... and it was a very bad trade. But I make ...

Well, then he has a 2nd monitor to keep him busy while he loses money :-D

They are one in the same. Trading is just high-frequency investing(if you're doing it right).

Trading even one pair with 1 screen can be problematic(I use my phone most of the time). How long do you intend to fit 4+ timeframes, multiple news feeds, the actual order screen, and the forum/web browser on 1 monitor? O_o

Trading computer recommendations

Not entirely true. If you manage your money like a bank then you're certain to have them on your side as well.
