-------------------------- If all I ever contributed was laughter & levity while detailing my lascivious adventures with the young 'meat'~~then I would be satisfied; more than satisfied. Traders need to break up their day and 'reframe' several times per day, it is healthy, it is necessary and it is what I have to give. Gratis, of course. Up @4am PST and looking to trade around durable goods and then some Crude before I have to get ready for one more day of dealing with the 'legal' for my dad; looking to get back to the lake on Thursday night. peace hedvig
------------ I have today as another 'nested' within another swing low. So I will be adding to my position near 7:30 am CST & then AFTER around 12:30pm CST 6/27/12 USA peace hedvig
Hey Stephan, My condolences. I did trading around the time when my father died (2002) and it was not a good idea, but that was the thing with systematic trading ... Your father was a buddhist so he might have liked this for the funeral: "Don't stand by my grave and weep, for I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond's glint on the snow, I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. Don't stand by my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die." -Unknown Native American
On an other note: I am curious about your eurusd view now. ARe you adding to your longs on these drops?
---------------- When I (me, not you--not others--but I) trade off of a monthly cycle bottom; that means the market has ALL month to establish a bottom. I have my core positions on from mid 1.23's and low 1.24's. Fundamentals are meaningless to me (again--for me; not for you, but maybe for other traders--I don't know, not my concern). I couldn't care less about a bunch of European's getting together and whipping their dicks out while that PIG of a woman older-broad Merkel tightens her big-black-strap on over the course of 2 days. If we blow through the lows; I will lose up to 3% of my initial risk (my initial risk)--if we move off these lows HIGHER~~I will be buying on confirmed breakouts higher w/profit-taking levels from 1.27/1.29/1.31 and higher (if reached). This is a SWING trade (a longer-term campaign trade for me). I am trading for my partners as well; we are in this bitch together. I enjoy swingtrading WAY more than daytrading; I sure as f*ck don't win 'em all though. I wrote before that it takes WORK to triangulate a low and/or high within 1 market day and then TRADE that scenario (June 1st cycle low--MONTHLY). It takes proper capitalization and brass balls to hold a trade off of a monthly cycle, the moves can be glacial compared to day trading or 1-3 day swingtrades. peace hedvig
-------------- Oh, I know that~~no worries. I think we will do a poll here on my thread after Independence Day & I'll do some good shorter-term swingtrades for those who want to join the flock. Specific trades to the tick in various asset classes. Entry, initial stop & exits. I'll do the poll on the 4th and set it up. Most traders are either not interested nor capitalized enough to do campaign trades. Shorter-term ones will provide more value here in my thread. peace hedvig
Halo Stephan! Have a good day. Do you trade crossed pairs such as EURJPY, EURAUD, EURGBP, etc... or only focus on the main pairs?
