so far so good

not sure how long I will stay with this one

trading the chop

so that makes me long everything (except chf)

long aud.usd
long eur.usd
long gbp.usd
long usd.cad
long usd.jpy

that dollar is hard to read

I think it is going down

Right?

I could switch sides at any moment

don't like any longterm commitments in here

I'd just as soon be flat, but can't try to make any money that way, but if you are I respect you.

OldTime.

What do you prefer about forex instead of say the 6E?

Thanks for your posts, and for the record, I respect you and your time.

to be honest with you, I like forex because it is all new to me and I don't yet have any bad memories about it.

don't forget 99.99% of what I post on the internet is just bullshit

The number 1 reason I post is because I just flat out get lonely

I don't mind helping out someone if they are going through something I have already been through

it was a good night on this position

for the first time, I actually have some profit targets set

I'm trading a trend system in my paper account and it is just getting devestated

fortunately, I correctly predicted that this was a good time to trade the chop, and I'm quite comfortable with that until something changes

the good thing about 6e is there is no question about the tax treatment

I started trading forex in a paper account and just seemed to be consistently making money, so I stuck with it

I like it because I can micro adjust size

speaking of which my gbp target just got hit at 6044

so now I'm flat in that pair

now what am I going to do?

still have a limit in to buy if it goes lower

maybe go short if it goes higher?

so all that leaves me with is

long eur.usd
long usd.jpy

whcih at 1:1

makes me long eur.jpy

so much for being short the dollar

man, when you're trading the trend the chop looks so easy

when you're trading the chop it's about darn near impossible to figure out

I don't see anything out there that I want to short the dollar against

so I guess I'll just sit here with my little position and hope eur.jpy goes up

I'm really getting commited to this short usd

hard to sell it down here when it's already down a million bazzililon percent from it's all time high

for crying out loud, I'm just chop trading

hard to get long that AUD/USD when they need it to go down so bad

I traded that ES for so many years

Life would have gone so much better for me if I only traded it from the short side

I don't know, I can't make a case for a long dollar, can you?
