Staring at charts for two or three years lol. But Techniques of Tape Reading is a pretty good read if you need a head start...

EURUSD

Ahhh what a crappy day. Couldn't take the pain anymore on the push up and as soon as I close out it reverses. Woulda broke even; instead gave back all my profit for the week. And to top it off I've got a long in. Thought I would play the pullback ...

EURUSD

Lol, Skyzer you're starting to sound rather jaded. Maybe you should change your name to FXSkeptic... My trading record refutes your claim that short term trading is gambling however. Perhaps for YOU, this has proven to be gambling. Long term trading ...

EURUSD

Gold is still well below its inflation adjusted high

EURUSD

Well at least I didn't have any trades open...

EURUSD

Lol, now Oanda has gone down on me...anyone else having an issue with them right now?

EURUSD

Yeah Oanda has good spreads and no slippage, but spreads go to 10 30 seconds before new releases. Interactive Brokers has a spread of 0.5, but they also charge a $2.50 commission and prices only move in 0.5 pip increments. The best broker for you ...

EURUSD

Phew, just had my own "fat-finger" screw up. Was adjusting my order size manually and added an extra digit by accident. Of course it immediately runs against me for 10 pips, but thankfully turned back around...

EURUSD

Yeah, there's a box at bottom of screen to add studies. Oanda really no good for charting though, but I mostly trade PA anyway

EURUSD

Yeah, got out just in time. Lucky on that one

EURUSD

Haven't had a loser yet, and been trading both ways lol

EURUSD

Haha touche

EURUSD

Ummm, I was talking about ME being the house...

EURUSD

Damn, it's like a casino lol

EURUSD

No, I'm actually chicken lol. Closed it for a few pips

EURUSD

May regret this, but now I'm long (small tho) Out at +7

EURUSD

I was, but just took profit

EURUSD

Exactly haha. Honestly I have no idea whether euro will go up or down, I just trade what I see. Speaking of which, has anyone ever read Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns by Bulkowski? I've had the pdf for months but never looked at it until today. One ...

EURUSD

Uh oh, all this extreme sentiment makes me think I should start looking at long positions... ....but surprisingly almost 62% of retail traders at Oanda are long already.

EURUSD

I don't think they will raise rates until employment is much better and we are seeing some inflation. Last thing we need right now is a stronger dollar. The only reason to raise rates would be to increase savings, but its the lower and middle class ...
