Regarding the rules, I dont mind about FIFO and FXDD hasnt changed their rules, at least that I have seen and others have a work-around just making a different classification of orders..
buck,
Did you gamble on those job numbers?
HUGE moves this morning, I did not partake.

I missed it Wall....wanted to take a short nap....i just woke up
Its all good though i got the TOOL show tonight so i needed some sleep....
Lucky i got in and out when i did AUD/JPY moved up 200 pips as well,i sold on the down cross at 4 am...reversed and had an up cross at 8am....
I had a good week hope you all did as well,i love trading early am....when i first found forex i was trading at 3am,id buy or sell depending on the close of that half hour block on the chart cause the 330 candle was almost always the same top to bottom...so if it closed on top of a candle id sell,if it closed on the bottom id buy
Look at CHF high at 3am 1.0655 low was 1.0638....i would have sold and set a limit for 15 pips or so and been out b4 430......i know it doesnt sound like a good idea but it worked and its what got me hooked on this stuff...
I dont know my sched for next week yet,only a few more weeks and the kids will be back in school so things will settle down here on the home front and ill be here everyday......heres to you guys have a good weekend see ya Sunday

Only got 64 of the drop...im back in on the other side..up 25+ pips....im going to bail on this soon i got to step out....FXinsider is saying they still favor USD over the other pairs except JPY
Did you get in on the run up Wall?

forgot to say that the avatar is WAY out there..lol
No..I have a decision to make and I have to commit more money to this than what I initially did so I dont get whipped around like I did a while ago..so I am holding onto what I have and will add to have a 25k balance in the near future.
I dont think you can succeed at the Forex with less than 25k, even with tight stops and a good strategy.

Wall,Topic thunder was a good movie,loved Toms character
If youre in a micro i think if you had 5k youd be ok...i mean at $1 per pip thats alot of wiggle room...i think 2k would be good to start with really,you just cant be loading up on lots...but the more $$$ you have the better off youll be for sure
I dont think forex.com has a cap on how much $$$ you can have in the micro accounts,i dont know about the others..you have to be ready to average down..i may end up averaging more than others but if you got the scratch and the stomach for this youll be fine.
I coulda held onto that CAD trade after the bottom fell out it ran back to almost 1.11..
Weve had a few guys in the threads that just didnt start with enough cash...i guess if youre better at chart reading you might find less trouble and maybe stops will work better for them,but i found alittle system that works for me and every so often you get these DATA explosions that are easy to clean up on
