Thanks Pipex. — Surely someone else still here - all of the above plus another couple - can shed some light on this?

I haven't got a clue!

Thanks Littleguy159. — I'm actually on FXDD. Perhaps it's the same there? I just don't understand why they bother with that indicator then. If I've got negative free margin I thought the positons would just be closed when I go in to negative ...

-$7.38 free margin. — I've never faced a margin call before? How does that work? I thought when it goes negative I'm out? FXDD anyone?

Hi again Pipex. — I noticed you here before your post. Good question. Interestingly, I did learn a lot and I'll do a summary later today. Down to a $1.62 free margin at the moment.

For Pipex, dr2k3 and the 3 guests who are watching my demise. — I'm surprisingly still here with a free margin of $37 and an open loss of $543.

$10 free margin. — I've got to be out in a minute haven't I? Margin call in 60 seconds?

I haven't got a clue!

It lasted longer than I thought. — $19 free margin. 7 more pips down and I'm out.

$28 free margin. — Oh dear.

$43 Free margin! — I am holding my breath at 2905 - it's looking bad!

2925 Support Again. — It looks like holding so I'll be short again soon around 2965.

Thanks for your considered opinions Pipex and AdamFx. — We now have myself and AdamFx being influenced by the journals here. Anybody else?

But ... — ... if it goes down to 289 I'll face a margin call and be out.

If it retraces then ... — ... after 50 pips I'll be shorting again so I may hit my target of 50 profitable trades and doubling the account balance by close of trading tomorrow.

Trichet shut up! — What a joke. Waffle - rightly - has now put it back down to 2923. Free margin $151 and open loss $429. Any more laid back and he'd fall over! Another 46 pip drop will put me out of the ame again. Everyone buy NOW - amazing ...

Nice to see you again Roy! — Agree totally - it'll be fun to see if I can get it back. But we will see, IMO, a 1.35 EURUSD in the second half of this year. I am very bullish - that's why my open loss is of no concern. I am long on another ...
