    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

  3. hi Stephan. How's is your Gold swing trade? It seems the price falls back to the previous swing low.

    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

  5. 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

    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

    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

  10. Halo Stephan! Have a good day.

    Do you trade crossed pairs such as EURJPY, EURAUD, EURGBP, etc... or only focus on the main pairs?
