Oh, it's just for the session, will definitely close out before the weekend. If we just hang here for much longer I think I'll just close it out. re: skalpz, pretty much right on schedule, eh? The silence is defeaning, compared to what we had to listen to when things go his way
If you're positive, my recommendation is to close now. I doubt, highly, you'll see any movement before the weekend. It's afternoon on a Friday.
You're right, probably a good idea regardless if I'm up on it or not. All it takes is one short who needs to throw in the towel before week's end and things could get messy.
I fully expect to see Skalpz on here any minute talking about how his Eur longs are capturing every pip to the upside and how he just snap closed a 200 pip profit while his Eur shorts haven't lost any money because he hasn't closed the position. He has switched to DHT (deep-hole trading) on his shorts. It's really comical.

I never open a EUR/USD trade without being perpared to go to war. My goal is to walk out of this trade with a profit, having no losses, and positioning myself better at the end than when I first pulled the trigger. I don't suspect this will be an 8-month trade.
Yeah, and let me make something very clear here... That USD/JPY long trade IS sitting 259-pts down. Read on... It has LESS than 1.75% of the acct cap exposed to market (to margin). Is maintaining (currently) a cap drawdown of slightly more than 1.75% of the acct cap....... And..... brace yourself............ PULLS out over 45% of the cap exposed to market EVERY month. That's for doing NOTHING - simply $$$$$ free money $$$$$. *smirk* Take it lightly, FX 116.71 (long @ 118.71)
BTW, Ivvy....... On my EUR/USD short with 2-positions open 166-pts down.............? Brace yourself.......... If I make NO more profitable trades (trades opened/closed where I take profit)......... as it sits......... The trade will earn almost 90% on the money I have exposed to market. That, I'll get a check sent to me for the first day of next month. The acct cap drawdown......? LESS than .660%. *SMIRK* That's for doing nothing the rest of this month... except collecting more money. )) You know what they say... "laws of attraction." ;-) It's just a fluctuation, fx 1.2700 (short @ 1.2534)
