  5. This is what she accomplished last shift...

    8 trades, back-to-back with two losses from 1:28 till 4:56. These losses were taken correctly with cooresponding wins within a mouse click of each other...

    she made $285.38 on 107k, getting as high as 16:1 leverage.

  6. this market sucks a$$


    if you look away, blink, use the restroom, take lunch..

    you end up missing the 5 min computer trading program or the 30second Maria sound byte...

    WTF??

    market powers sideways until 30 seconds of news hits.. then back to power sideways

  7. My shift before hers (usually starts when we get back from the gym and after dinner at about 18:00 or 19:00 and lasts until 1:00am), gave 3 trades and 1 loss for $95.51.

    They were not exactly back-to-back trades, and this particular shift is the slowest time of Forex. I wish it were busier as this is my favorite time to trade (dinner and gym is done and its just me.. the trades.. and ET). I spend most of my time looking for the set-up during this particular shift. Wifey takes a nap in preparation for her London open, which she owns. Sometimes we trade 24 hours...first her for 4 hours then me....but I actually do not like the USA session in Retail Spot Forex...I gotta always look at the calendar to see what news is due. I do not trade news.

    It is my shift now and I turned off the platform. I don't have anything interest positive to carry into the next shift and I really do not like to carry anything into he next shift as our gym time is 16:00. Wifey unlike myself lives on the clock and makes me wear a watch. I also work my day job from home and very rarely trade during the daytime (mst)

    It's ok Electric. I took a nap and lost back half of the profits I made on Tuesday and Thursday. Slow days make me so sleepy.
