LOL. He's starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch. Now leave before I taunt you again, silly American person.
And the hits just keep on comin'... Wonder what would have happened to this guy's account had the market moved against him? Probably would be pissed @ IB for letting him stay in the trade.
The term for your style of trading is called "cannonballing". You are a ticking timebomb. You WILL blow out. I suspect you cleared IB because a major European futures clearing firm like Fimat, SG, EDFMann, M-P, DB, etc. would never let you pull that crap. Remember what happened to Griffin Trading and their rogue Korean trader Park trading Eurex Bunds? He was a cannonballer, same as you. Kept adding to his "winning" position, just like you.
On a political note, I have to say it is threads like these that remind me why most Americans distrust the French.
What's worse, is that this guy can't be a trader. I say this because every trader can admit when they were wrong. I can just imagine this guy knee deep into a trade that went south a long time ago, and he just won't bail because he won't admit that this thing is not going to go his way. mike-claire, Go away! This board is for traders, not cry babies.
