Hi Andy! Du bist Deutscher? Woher kommst Du denn ursprünglich? Ich bin Hamburger und trade auch EuroFX.

 

Let me see if I got it right (German was my second foreign langauge but have not used it for years.):

'Hi Andy! Are you German? Where are you from then originally? I am from Hamburg and trade EuroFX too.'

Good solid German job, Andy! Keep it up!

 

Hi Guys,

well I am from a small town close to Munich.

I have stopped trading the Euro FX for the moment but will give it a try next week again when we have rolled into the new month.

Happy trading,

Andy

andy how long have you been trading?

 

I started to trade around 5 or 6 years ago (and lost most of my money). I meet Joe Ross about 2 years ago and because of some circumstances we became good friends and colleagues. We have been working together since then.

Dear Trader,

due to some upcoming events next week (Labor Day on Monday, Greenspan on Wednesday, Roll over in the indices starting on Thursday) I will not day trade during next week.

Andy

 

Thought I would catch this before you did...

Min Dow above should read:

-37 ticks (-$185) instead of (-$105)...
