I have done it before... when I was starting out. Not a months income but definately a week or two. I blew up a couple times until I realized it wasnt worth it. Thats why I am so adamant about risk management and position sizing. Every once in awhile its ok to shoot for the moon when everything lines up.. like it did for my short today. I was ok with suffering the consequences if I was wrong. Its easy to say I would never do that... etc but when your in the heat of the battle its a lot easier then you would think... especially on the russel.
just an update on the euro... it touched the first resistance zone to the tick at 1.8460 and fell back immediately. This is a good sign that there is some supply at new highs. There is still some support below the market so I am not going short yet. I am just starting to transfer some money back into the the US dollar.. nothing big yet.
