    you are an old friend and war hero so I forgive you:D
    being in a war front is something an ordinary person can never imagine what it is like.
    ET is close though

    I served but never during a war and a few places were not friendly.

    Also, a disussion forum can never be compared to military service...ET is just a social media site.

    Tweets, ie. Twitter, ie Trumpy Posting random shit and scaring the entire market.

    And always use a tight SL, Too many times I've watched unable to hit exit as the markets went 200pts against me, SL doesn't get you out clean, but better than me.

    I've seen the opposite too like today...traders that are Long and then tweets come out by the U.S. Pressident and news outlets about the possibility of delaying tariffs on autos.

    Volatility spike higher and the markets got cooking again. On the flip side...it sucks if someone is Short without using a stop.

    Simply, if traders think tweets are bad for the markets, I'm sure those on the other side are glad about the tweets.

    Day Trader, still in final training to going full time, this crazy market has huge potential, can we keep the crazy till I'm past 10K please.

    i do not have that problem....forex is dead.

    20 min and eurusd moves two ticks...

    in a bull market normally volatility is less because there is no fear....your stockmarkets must be in corrective mode

  7. I was lucky with that today, got in right before the pop. Which is nice because all of his tweets last week screwed me over.

    At least today things were already pointing up before the news. Last week everything was going short and he sent it back up.

    LOL, I hate beer, had 1 sip 30years ago, spat it out, never again.

    Cider and Baileys I can live with, just add extra sugar obviously.
