    Yea, shrooms and weed, didn't mess much with lsd myself. I just never knew if it was good or not, that was the problem.

    good for you man, I haven't touched shrooms or lsd in quite some time. It is not the answer to my trading for sure lol. weed is nothing to me though. Anything in moderation I suppose. Hey you only live once... gotta take care of yourself but I had to enjoy some of the fruits of nature lol.

    It's those prescription drugs I dont like.

    I hear that... yea I am doing fairly well this year in FX, didn't start the year off all that well or end last year on that great of a note, but made up for that and then some. To be honest it's not that much money, just wish I had a bigger stake and then it would be quite impressive if all else was the same. One of the biggest problems to get past was trying to make too much with too little too fast... surely this kills alot of people I would think.

    What do you do well with?

  6. I still do well digging trenches with Mexicans in my irrigation business unfortunately.. I trade mainly options/volatility. Been dipping my toes in futures spreads. I was doing quite well selling credit spreads but I saw a terrible end coming to that so.I quite while I was ahead... I plan on finding correlated pairs and pairs trading and sticking to my butterfly and ratio back spread vol plays in options... I do have a small trade in the xde which is the options on the euro....

    Nothing wrong with that man, I still have to work too. I wish I could trade exotics in FX then just straight out spot positions only. I would eventually love to get into what you're describing here. Good luck with everything.

  9. Exotics are like binary options and over the counter stuff like swaps... vanilla options are the ones I trade. There is no reason you can't trade in options and futures now... its not as complicated as people make it out to be

  10. My advice is if you have an edge in.forex don't try to push it... it only takes compounding 5-10 percent a month with compounding interest your account will accurefast!
