  1. You guys would both be true Elite members had they not removed the caste-by-posts designations :)

  2. Yes too bad Baron recently removed the designations :eek:

  3. Hehe, you are there too now. :D
    I don't think it matters so much, though. He will probably come up with some PHP-change (to vBulletin forum) so that he can have 'search posts' or 'postings' under the names.

    I hope you don't go overboard with a short bias, but will try and see it as range-bound for a few hours more; just don't get an entry in the middle of the range. :)

  4. We're back again! Now we can have a little less .... whooops ... 1.2730s ...

    Hmm, gotta watch the market .

    edit: gotta say the market got very light-footed, or light headed very quickly there. Lots of rumours, got to look for some factual substances here.

    edit2: well, seems the most plausible reason was some Kerry rumours (early battleground states lead) - but I think that has to be held in context of (mostly republican) pits closing etc. From here on I think it will be more choppy, range bound as long as Kerry looks like in the lead.

  5. I am satisfying some of my trading needs with spot demo trading. So far the account is up 27.6% for the day ... but that's with the unrealistic leverage and scalping.

  6. I got stopped out from all of my three trades (long, short,long). Now the market can trend :)

  7. Just had to get in on this last dip down to 1.2680s ... :)

    edit: forgot ... target 1.2720s ... stop probably below 1.2650-ish.
    Will see if there is momentum upwards if 1.2720s get reached, and try some real position, otherwise just take the best opportunity.

  8. I'm short from 1.2724--revenge trading for the day session!

    Edit: There was an extra 15 point spike in the futures. The bid side in the book looked extremely thin right after it.

    It's funny we keep editing :)

  9. I covered the short about 6-7 ticks from the local bottom. I'll go short again around 90s...

    Are you trading the futures or the spot demo account tonite?

  10. Both, but I always say when it's the demo. The demo has had a nice run-up in one day. :) Can't completely complain on the EuroFX either, but not nearly as good as the spot (which is unrealistic because of leverage).

    It's a good time to get in long now, since the next closing states will probably show a lot more Kerry. I mean that by the reactions of the traders trading and setting the conditions now.
