I'm down too little bear... — 1.6 pips. Took several shorts then closed because I don't trust the area we are in. Either way... bias is one of the enemies. I'm a dollar bull and last week it cost me 10K. It's very difficult to remain neutral ...

If we hold here... — I'll be selling at .4085. Trend line. 38.2 fib on last move down. Close to .4100 psych. Should be overbought on the 15 if it happens. If not... see you at .3800. Mike

Soap Boxes are welcome here... — Sometimes it takes this for others to 'get it' Thanks EV. Many Americans are on board with the pension thing... many of us have a 401K and mine dropped over 35% recently. m

In theory... — Again... I'm sure some other traders will chime in but as long as you stick to the 2% and under rule and have the skills to double your account then you are on the right track. I really like the six month rule. If you can beat ...
