Good deal Dan....TYVM Coach ;)~ Cheers/eom
Here's the IHub bold fix Daiello & all....
Thx to Dan from IHub Admin.

Worked for me....runnin Windows XP
sorry...studies show that doesn't count....in addition...banking sleep ahead of time doesn't work either. Studies have shown that once you've lost sleep, it can not be recovored....once it's gone, it's gone fur good.
e/j short here @ 123.51 ...tryin ta catch the ever so ellusive top ;)~
Not ta harp on this 1 but.....here's 1 case example....well 2 incldg'g myself....
My dad was an early waker all his work life....up no later than 4:30 EVERY AM...& 5:30 on the wknds....he's been in retirement now for over 15 yrs & was never able to sleep in. In fact to this day & for his entire retirement yrs thus far, he wakes up beteeen 4 & 4:30....heads down to the club for a workout....& get this, they actually gave him the key to the place so he could open up & start a pot of coffee up...LMAO!!
Anyway...pt is, wake up ( & I ant even talkin about no sleep...lol) early your whole life & u get so used to it that it will be incredibly hard to reprogram your brain. & when u consistently dont get any sleep, I can only imagine what that will do to you. You do realize that sleep deprivation is a form of torture dont ya?
My 2nd example is me but I dont have time for that one right now (lucky board)....got the AM daddy-do's..today is kidless day for 90 mins or so....wooo-whoooo!!!
Back later.....
Risk Calc...
aint google da bomb
http://www.forexcalc.com/forex_risk_calculator/
I gotta think the CaT may have one over at his forexclub.us site
check it out.
yeah...all tho I'm under water right now by approx 25....workin on a e/j long @ 122.04...thinken 122.40 b4 121.40...
back in a flash........
I hear ya.....indeed....the normal progression Daiello.
OK..gotta run in a few 4 the 1st grader p/u.
Back in an hr or so....
hey...jus saw I made 5K on my cnbc e/j short today....3 lots worth...hehe
Man alive if I had a 100K beg 4x bank.
yeah....lookout for Nettles too...she'll be around ta help ya out some no doubt....but watchout for Ataglance & Jester....dem b 2 characters u need to be very careful with :0
Says my C buy from this AM is still pending....are we sure the execution is different this time...as in completed during mrkt hrs?
Still seems as if it's the same as the last go around....ie EOD execution...like a mutual.
Gotta say...when things settle down....I've yet to see anyone compete w/Oanda....& all the flexibility w/the leverage, lot size, being able to scale out, etc.
Gotta hand it to JRB there....I had to be convinced as I was so used to MG & the fixed pips.....which I suppose is good for no less than mini's & above. So being the low baller I be...Oanda fits me jus fine....lookin forward to the spreads gettin back to where they once were...seems we're close now....here's hopin this trend continues.
hehe....thx...had a gut feel....been actually playin this 1 a lot lately....works really well for the quick scalp & set the rest to b/e strat.....moves so damn fast it's hard to ignore eh.
'n speakin of Daiello.....
is it gonna continue 2 b a slow bleed to 7200? Then again 5 more days like this & we'll be there.....& if the vix spikes on any negative pressure...we'll be there in a day or 2.
Startin ta think some of the folks w/their fairly confident 6K calls may not be so off the mark...at least the mid-high 6 range seems quite possible....perhaps tho not b4 Obama puts his hand on the book & takes the reigns.
Me thinks you'll find 4x a breath of fresh air vs equities....I view it like the diff between elementary school & college ;)~
no bashing/pumping, ulterior motives, etc....just good ol economic fundi's & t/a...tho careful...as of late the fundi's sure have been a beach ta get a handle on as the world continues to undergoe some major financial handicapping.
So u r friend of Daiello's eh....say no more...especially if u r a dollar bull ;)~
All kidden aside...cheers Jav...happy ta have another 4x'er amongst our Motely lil Crew.
Well wadda ya know....looks like I fixed it w/out messin it all up ;)~
My 1st Ibox tweak.....hehe
CaT....the IBox.....
jus noticed the 4xclub.us is listed 2 x's...the 2nd listing has the wrong link....says .com....not .us at it should be.....guess bein a MOD I can go in there & try & fix it....never have messed w/the IBox b4....& sure as hell dont wanna mess all that awesome work up.
Jus wanted ta give ya a heads up on that 1.
Oh & yes....def trade the euro/us....or any pair that has very low spreads....high spreads will kill ya...especially @ fxcm as ya never really know what u r gonna be gettin...they are changing every second.
The Ibox should have all the info for ya....welcome to the board...I suspect this'll be occuring "a lot" (pun INtended) over the next several days as folks grab their fxcm/cnbc $$$.
Micro lots cost ya $2.50 & that gets ya .10 cents per pip.....if u r with fxcm then you can only be on 400-1 leverage..nothing less.
So 1 micro @ 2.50 will allow you 10 lots....careful tho....no more than 1 lot per trade...dont try & attempt any more than that....unless you're aware of all the correlations u r destined to hedge yourself...& if you dont happen to hedge yourself....you run the risk of losing your $$$ even faster if u get into a trade/positions that go against ya. Best to keep it simple & if ya find u r up .50 cents to $1 on any trade..take it & move on to the next opp.
try & build the acct up slowly so as to create a decent cushion...then over time u could consider taking larger risks...more pips, larger lots.
if ya dig hard enuff here u wull find lotza good info...but do take a gander @ the Ibox 1st.
GL & again, welcome!!
Cheers!!
e/j Daiello....
looks like it has indeed come back for ya...& me....121.80 now.....& never really ever got much closer to that 124. If ya haven't....bail now....isn't this w/in 5 of b/e or thereabouts for ya? It's now bouncin off a fib line here....I drew one from 120.30 to 123.21...so it's now bouncin off the 2nd retrace line here....not sure how e z it'll be for it break thru this one & go lower....might prove 2 b a tall order ta fill. In fact I think I'm going long here since its' fallin pretty hard & fast over the last coupla hrs....lookin for 20-30 the long way now.
I took approx 100 pips & closed it out.....hope ya waited it out.
Well there was the fairly significant spike around the 13th from approx 118.50 to 125.50....I happen to think it needs to go back & retest some of that....maybe not sub 119 so much....but at least the low 121's....my 2 cents.
woopsy...& that's my standing limit....well 121.80....I do think it'll see 122.50 b4 124 if that helps ya.
e/j is a mover....as u know....thus it'll typically roar back for ya...& usually quite fast. However if u r truly have a concern for this position (gettin a lil hand here agreed) I'd try & wait for a retrace closer to your b/e...maybe 15-20 south & bail....unless of course it looks like that retrace has more legs....always a tuff call 2 bail...especially w/this pr considering how it moves at the turn of a dime.
I've got a short goin (where I've already covered 1/2) @ 123.56...prolly should cover the rest here since it's now goin back the other way on me (which is good for your long) but gonna see if this is just a lil breather to the north...thinken it may be...thinken it's gonna try & at least make a retest here for ysdtrdy's open.
Also took a xau long from 736.62 to 746.27 this AM.
hey...@ this rate, you wont be needin a fancy hedge fund/finance job...y not continue to build upon your cushion & trade your own $$$...maybe pick up a few MA accts along the way....Daiello Capital....kinda rolls right off the tongue there eh ;))
bought Citi today.....dont even recall what the price was.....$9 sumtin I guess...lol
short e/j 3 units @ 123.48 on the 4x side.
gonna go see if they're allowin short etf's this time 'round.
Thinken about a lil Berkshire....heck, this is the only time I can even contemplate such a stock....unless I can find 20 folks that wanna split a class B with me....lol
if u r thinking about goin live w/their micro....make sure you 1st demo w/400-1 leverage...which I think may be impossible as fas as their demo side goes. I think they default ya to 5K w/their demo & u can't change your beg bank...not sure if they allow ya to change your leverage on this demo acct tho? Can't see y not but it wouldn't shock me either if they dint give ya many leverage options.
At Oanda....you can add, take out & switch your leverage all over the place....think it goes as low as 20-1 w/Oanda & as high as 2 or 400-1?
Anyway....I'm sure fxcm is fine if you plan to go live w/a mini or full acct. Personally tho, I feel their micro side is a rip (spreads changing every millisecond...I didn't mention that "lil" tidbit) & one could do better on a 70% payout slot machine in Reno ;)~
Well unless u r the CaT or Daiello...u dont....& unless you have a beg bank of at least 8-10K, it's pretty much gonna be fairly difficult ta build the acct over the long haul.
But this is exactly what I'm talkin about w/re to the fxcm $25 micro offer....forcing 400-1 on folks is only settin'em up ta lose....most will be lucky to stay in the game for a week...if that. Betcha we'll begin to start hearin more & more of these stories as the latest port challenge gets under way....is today day #1 I take it?
I sure hope tho I'm correct in reading tonz of sarcasim in your post....pretty sure of that....for which I won't mind sayin one huge LOL...otherwise of course it's not funny if u r truly losin 401K/retirement money....all the while on a penny buy & hold strat no less :0
Tho u should feel damn good only losing 6K over a 5 yr period on the pennies w/that kinda strat...that's far better than most who utilize that strat w/the pennies ;)~
Keep demoin tho w/tonz of different strats....do it for awhile til ya think you've somethin that works. But if you're jus lookin for a get rich quick kinda thing....keep dem walkin shoes on....4x will eat ya alive.
& it's a new low.....
Empire State Manufacturing Index Hits New Low
A key manufacturing gauge in New York state tumbled in November to yet another record low, the New York Federal Reserve said on Monday, as the credit crisis tightened its grip over the economy.
The New York Fed's "Empire State" general business conditions index fell to minus 25.43 from minus 24.62 in October. That was the lowest since the inception of the index in July 2001.
The New York Fed's survey of manufacturing plants in the state is one of the earliest monthly guideposts to U.S. factory conditions.

wait..aint the Beast gbp/jpy? If so....u r talkin a 30-40% haricut???
Sorry...I didn't turn my firewall off so the chart ya posted dont come up.
& Daiello....lost a card of mine (for the 1st time ever) last week...tho I didn't lose it....I didn't notice that it didn't come back w/the bill at a restaurant....was distracted w/yappin ta folks...was one of those school fund raisers where the establishment dontaes a portion of the bill back to the school so the Mrs' was intorducing me to parents/kids/teachers, etc.
Anyway...called the restuarant back that same night & they said they never found it....so I cxl'd the card right away & the cc Co tried hard sellin me one of those fraud protector deals....took approx 5 NO's for'em ta fianlly figure out I wasn't gonna be fear facotred into it....think they saw the balance we carry on that card (aprrox 1-1,500...lol) & figured they saw a big payday comin. I sure got the feeling the operators get a good commish for sellin these BS deals..the higher the revolving bal, the more the operator gets paid kinda thingy for hookin folks. Got the whole schpeil...."...oh it's completely free for the first 30 days & if ya dont like it u can cxl @ at anytime, etc."
I finally got pissey after the 3rd or 4th NO! & said how about I cxl the card all together? That sure got the ball rolling & the call ended approx 20 secs later w/a new card being sent...lol
OK...gettin yelled at here...now y on earth would I be procrastinating steam cleanin?
WOW.....just about EVERYTHING is down.....sounds like the G20 is gonna have 1 doozy of an affect on it all.
no time now ta really catch up w/it all....in the middle of doin a Jester....steam cleanin da carpets...lol I'll reply to a few of the posts (Cap) & roll up the 4x sleeves in a bit....just logged in real quick ta get the quotes....unreal.
Back after the Living & Dinning Rooms are done....may finally be the week ta take gold for the long ride.
2nd attempt w/this ?......
The following is a copy of my post (the 1 I'm replying to from ystrdy).
posts remaining in bold after being read......
for the last few days now I've noticed that when after reading a post it stays bold as if I've still yet to read it....even the "previous" & "next" icon on each post remains in bold as if I've yet to read a post for which I already have.
I dont recall changing anything myself...but who knows....is there a way I can change this back to the way it was previously?
TIA Gentz...Cheers!!
Here's a G20 diddy for ya's...
not much we didn't already know....especially since it came out on Fri...lol

Tryin ta get all caught up w/all the Gypsy trucker episodes but everyone else must be tryin ta do the same thing...takin forever ta get the clips ta load here. Rumor has it the series is up for an Emmy or 2.
Hey...as 4 moi...I pay at least 10 x's the minimum monthly...so at this pace we should oudda debt....never!!
If ya can't take it w/you...may as well allow Citi, Chase, etc ta pony up some for us ;)~
They love us...good payment history, never miss & always carrying a decent balance....they dont wanna pi$$ us off. We still have decent rates too....no card is over 12% (that's the Costco Amex @ 11.99% so we try ta keep that 1 under 2K) & the one I have in my wallet is a 6.99%. & get this....was checkin up on all our balances last week & one company actually raised our limit from 12-17K!! Was totally shocked they did this...they must really be achin for our biz.
On these terms ya can't afford to not charge up a storm :0
So much for absence makin the heart grow founder in the Jester Castle eh? ;)~
Good read...thx.....but w/re to
"Better have Worn hold off on the venti soy quad till the first of year"
NEVER....I'll go down swinging w/my loaded & registered Buxter card clutched ever so tightly...may even use it as an added weapon :0
Heard a lil on the G last night...emphasis on "a lil"...& albeit it was coverage from one of the da major cable networks...all that was really said was there's a big need for drastic action & fast.....pretty much what they said bush was yappin about. Sure he wants fast action...he wants ta screw as all one more time as only he knows how b4 Barrack & Michelle put up the new curtains.
We'll most likely hear more concrete news later on today...right about the time the mrkt opens or maybe just before...me thinks they'll be puttin in a 1/2 day today b4 they rap it all up. Should make for a very interesting pyps that's for sure.
No Green Festival for us today :(
Both kids were up last night...even had ta get the humidifyer out for the lil one....havin trouble breathen there for awhile....I think she's finally caught the coughin bug the 6 yo has had for the last few days. So home we're stayin....we'll have ta wait to save Mama earth til next yr.
I did watch the Addendum for the 2nd time last night....couldn't stop thinken about Generic's comments w/re to conspiracy theory...would love to watch this w/him sitting next to me so I could stop it at certain points & ask him why he feels govt is truly on our side?
There's simply way too many good arguments that can be made to the contrary....would love to hear/see someone put out some sorta rebuttal to the Zetigeist series....if so, it'd most likely be from some religious Zealot outfit. That was my experience on the Club Conspriacy thread...as amazing as I found it....I was thinken Zetigeist would be well rec'd on a forum such as this...nope, just the opposite it seems. The few who I did get a reply from (thinken actually it may've even been the same poster w/few aliases...at least it wouldn't surprise me) seemed quite threatened by it all calling it all paranoia....& when asked further & to cite a logicial argument or 2 in support of their opinion/beliefs, they couldn't...only were able to tell me what they felt w/no real beef to back any of it it up.
So Generic, if u r out there.....if you have yet to do so, I invite you to watch both episodes & then tell me why you feel there's no credibility to any of this....& if you could point me to a few concrete examples in support of your thoughts along these lines, better still.
Believe u me, I REALLY want to discredit all this info w/sound logic & proof....after all, I dont consider myself to be some gloom & doomer....not even close...I have 2 kids & wanna do all that I can to help improve things for'em. & u gotta admit, the road we've been on doesn't exactly give me much confidence or hope for the/their future. So if all this could be debunked via sound arguments, I wanna hear it. But until then, it's hard for me to not at least give some of these ideas some considerable acknowledgement...sadly.
I've found that more I have an unbiased open mind about it all & the will to learn as much as possible, as more & more evidence comes to the surface, it's hard to not give many of these arguments some credibility. Especially when we really never hear all that much (if anything at all) from the folks who would wish to debunk the Zetigeist argument.
OK....got the Sun rant oudda the way early...back to the venti soy quad.
Cheers!!
2 opposing thumbs down on the flick....& the IMax part....well lets just say I'm quite happy that we didn't have ta pay any more than we woulda've for a reg matinee....could hardly tell/see the effects.....other than a real clean/clear picture.
Went out & bought a coupla artichokes on the way home 'n boiled'em up....now it's a lil me time....finally....moms got'em in the tub & I'm all set for some serious Sat night couch time here in a few mins.
Green Festival in SF manana....hopefully...as long as the 6 yo has a 1/2 way decent night....dont wanna be dumpin a sick kid on granny 'n gramps.
The Bubble Man himself on PBS....sorry....now that's a real stretch for me....I recall all too vividly back in the day havin ta watch him every Sun night over @ my grandparents....I was the bubble boy tryin ta make everyone in the room feel as if they were there in the flesh...they always had a lil bottle of bubbles all ready for me...was about the only thing I looked forward to on those nights...& then it was 60 mins afterwards makin it all a weekly 2 hr adolscent nightmare. :0
Jester.....sounds like ya layed the Pinesol on a lil too thick.
Thx...went ahead of time & got the tix already....check this out....the Regal Theatre tix u can buy @ Costco (for $7.50 each....they come in 2 packs for $15) are also good for the IMax shows....no additional $$ needed either....saved a total of approx $15 off the regular price of 2 kiddy's & 1 adult IMax. So da homemade popcorn iza poppin & bein prep'd for da smuggle job.
Starts @ 1 so I gotta go get all cleaned up so I dont look like a ped. :0
Ck back later on...maybe by then the CaT will have completed his trip & be back at the bar for a few more rounds...speakin of which...now that the AM Buxter has been consumed, time ta break out the Monavie....I gotta admit, after only bein on this stuff for a few days now I swear I'm feelin it....potent chit indeed. I highly rec'd it for anyone whose lookin to improve upon their health...quite the detoxifier if I say so myself....then again, I gotz much 2 detoxify :0
Cheers!!
OK....same prob....haven't a clue as to y? & still no reply from anyone from IHub admin on the matter.
Off to go start our day.....
Cheers!!
both say web3.....gonna logout on pc 1 & 2 & then wait a few mins then try loggin in one more time on #1.
Then I'm headed out ta give mom a lil home alone time (so she can invite her viagra needin squeeze over for an hr or 2) w/the girls....off to go see Madagascar 2....hopin they'll take my Regal Costco passes for the IMAX & I can just pay the diff (like $4 more per)....if not, well have to settle for the regular screen. Saw Happy Feet a few yrs ago in IMAX.....that was really kewl...Happy Feet was a really good movie ta see in the IMax format....thinken Madagascar will be a similar IMax experience....gotta be some added attraction for me ta keep me in my seat.
Yeah....& like u, I'll simply be playin the currencies....much as I did last time.
Tho I should prolly create more than 2 ports. Last time I just had 2...I really wasn't all that serious about it being that they had a problem w/the fxcm side for the currencies....think it was down for at least the 1st week or 2.
Anyway, I did have a stock port that I pretty much bought & held....nodda real lotta movin in 'n out of stuff....think I had Freeport Macmoran, Coach, BNI & GS...at the time I was thinken GS was a screamin buy sub 200....LMAO!!!
Was also a lil mifffed that they didn't allow ya short or buy etf's as I recall. Or even stuff like the sds (short dow)...what's up w/that? & y on earth dont they allow folks to play any of that stuff? 1 would think it's all fair game....especially if they are also lettin ya do currencies.
Oh well...what ya gonna do?
& w/re to my logout & log back in idea.....didn't work.....really weird in that it all works fine on the other PC yet for some reason I'm havin this issue on PC #1.
& the fact that it's happening w/Daiello but not you....what's up w/that Daiello? Looks as if U 'n I got da same bug....grrrrrr!!!
