#55 Posted: 12/11/2009 2:51:20 PM I'm out of my USD/JPY trade... gut feeling says that rally is over now... made away with a nice profit.. got in at 8873, sold at 8916
Net gain, 43 pips.... I'll take it... hope I didn't cut myself short, but analyzing the charts, I think a downtrend here is inevetable.
Sticking out with my USD/CAD pair.. it looks good.. I'm trying for 1064 here |

#56 Posted: 12/11/2009 2:59:10 PM  Have you done this? Anyone here an expert in silver and gold? Sounds interesting, and it's done right in the trading platform (just have to add the pairing) |

What happened with your other US.Yen trade, the one at 89.60?
Did you average down and get out?

#59 Posted: 12/11/2009 9:48:14 PM Whats up guys...i passed out after my last post just b4 1pm...
Ice new rules make you keep more margin for each lot...all the new rules can be avoided by opening an account through forex.com UK branch
Wall i got my average down to 8920s and got out with a total of 48 pips...its on page 2 i think?Had another good week....i will be going for more pips when i can watch the trades...every trade i posted was good for several times my limit...

I was hoping it would spike down again an give me a sot to average lower but no such luck[i was gone when it hit the 60s just b4 10am ] i got it down to 8824 limit now at 8836....im going to hit the hay ill check it when i wake up

I am wondering the same thing. Also, how much is a good starting point for opening a mini account? |

Setting sell stops is the quickest way to get cashed out..tough principal but most positively true.
