I decided to make my $ starting point a little higher. Oanda has my maximum loss tolerance set at 10K. Since I've lost a little over 2K already...

I trade this pair because I have a much better understanding of US and Canadian economies at the macro level. I can more comfortably make some...
I decided to take the risk and stick my neck out. I'm going to add myself to the list of people who believe 1%\day average on a smallish account...
You're obviously not the guy in the other thread complaining about erectile difficulties. Even a 95 year old should rise to the attention of a 28...
