By the time good finance becomes fashion, it's no longer good finance. I had someone tell me I should change all of my cash to euros the exact day of the big USD rally afew months back.

Please EURO Stop it..You are Embarrasing yourself.

I don't know. There's enough gray area to drive a bus thru. I did find afew brokers that say in their ToS "forex is not covered by the SIPC" but that could just be because of the way they're handling it. The wording is "and currency" ... no mention ...

512MB DRAM?

Fakeouts happen all the time, they're useful for hunting stops. I find the best way is to wait for the pullback. If it pulls back past the previous S/R then it's usually a fakeout or a reversal, if it falls back to rest on the last S/R then it's ...

Your Anti-Fakeout Systems / Methods

I don't... It's all the same, really. First you get one, then you get the other. I'll let you guess as to the order. Yeah, dang those pesky depressions, they take all of the fun out of a free market.
