Comfort is important. If and when I begin to doubt a trade - I sometimes will move to break even, and "write it off" mentally. You could do that if you would like. I normally don't worry too much about time, as it doesn't really matter....but I have ...

It happens.

Don't know it to be honest. I would guess it's some kind of binary option? The only options I know about are the ones for FX @ ISE.

Silent Service Method

Yeah, you are correct. I will take positions on pairs or stocks if it's at a prime spot....(AAA+ type set up.) But to be honest, I think not taking new trades is more of a throw back to when I traded shorter time frames. I guess that's about it to ...

As a general rule, I don't take on new positions on Friday. However, I am still short MSFT and PM. I took profits on HPQ.

News driven drama. Something about pay bonuses coming up.

Truthfully, I can switch between the two - back and forth. I think once you trade long enough....it doesn't really matter. CW

Thanks Top Cat!

I will take note of the 200, but it's a secondary indicator at best in my eyes.

Odd, I got that same message the first time. re-tried it, and it worked right away.

Yep.....but I have noticed a lot of S/R lines like the following: .00, .50, .25, .75 Basically breaks down to quarters....

All markets are the same. The only difference is tick value, and liquidity. If it's not as liquid, the solution is simple: try higher time frames. Even the MXN/JPY can be played if you look out far enough. Trading is easy. Don't let anyone tell you ...

The fee is for data, not inactivity. I pay 10 USD a month if I don't do $30 in commissions for that month. The 10 USD covers all US markets. If you want to trade other markets, (worldwide) it varies. London is like 5 GBP a month, ASX is like 25 AUD. ...

Try right clicking on the Market Watch window and clicking "show all". That would be my guess

Congrats. This answer is the exact one I was looking for. If I buy shares in HKD, when I take profits, I need to convert back to USD. Since the HKD is pegged, it barely moves. I don't get whacked via the exchange rate. (Think carry trade meltdown.) ...

Actually, it is.....but moves at the speed of cattle. (In comparison to NYSE.) But that's not it either. CW

Wrong. Now go punish yourself.

Random Question... — Here's what would seem like a random question.... I trade two stock markets (mainly). One is the NYSE, and the other is Hong Kong. I chose an Asian market because I am better at staying up than getting up. But why Hong ...

The simple solution is to trade several different markets, and instruments. I haven't done much forex trading lately either. I am however....short MSFT, PM, HPQ, and long 2@SEHK. (China Light, Hong Kong Exchange) The point is, there is less ...
