So does that mean it's not good 2 b hold'n 858 units of xau over the long holiday wknd? :0
941.55 = 695 &
942.20 = 163
Pretty much @ b/e - the spread....thinken we'll be seein 975+ come months end....most likely sooner than later.....JRB....what say u Mr. Gold Bug?
LMAO.....
I kinda recovered some from that Oanda debacle....if I close it all out now I'll be back to 50%....lol
Still 50% from where I was....should be north of 100% today.....grrrrr.
guess I shouldn't risk holdin that 50% over the holiday wknd & take what I've made back 'n run...was hopin to make it all back today but I suppose datz a tad unrealistic....I'm still cryin FOUL tho.
Where u @ now?......
go figure....1 mo'day 'n I woulda most likely been neck 'n neck whichya's...tphhfftt!!
Sounds like me....if I were to walk away & forget about it I'd most likely see more pips.
& Nettles....go find another rock...this 1's taken :0
u r kidden me....after a quick glance of all the posts I hadn't read (50+) u mean 2 tell me there's been no talk of an Oanda demo outage/bug?
I'm taken my ball & goin home...recess over :0
I have a MAJOR Oanda complaint ta lodge.....
1st off.....haven't been able ta log in (demo) since early last night w/the exception of this AM for a few mins.
2nd) can't log on now...have tried several times all throughout the day w/no luck.....gettin the server is busy prompt.
3rd) last night before loggin off I went to go place some sl's on my gbp/jpy postions (cuz I know better w/that Beach b4 callin it a night & loggin off) & altho it said my sl's were placed & said they were all set....they never did place the red line there & it dint show that a sl was listed. So I tired gettin creative & circumvent the system by putting some sells in there (I was long) & same thing as w/the sl's....said they were placed but it dint appear on the acct page....tphhhfffttt!!!
So I was left w/no other choice than to roll da dice & pray that come AM all would be good....Grrrrrrrr!!!!
So after loggin on this AM of course I come ta find that all 3 positions got margined out taking not only ALL of my profits but approx 2-3K on top of that leaving me w/just under the beg bank of 50K. Dint have the time to beach about it this AM (both girls had school, etc) so I had ta wait til now. Man alive if this were on the live side....sure does give me my 1st bad taste w/Oanda. Compared to the rest, their demo track record is pretty good (not as good as MG tho who are still 100% w/me) but it looks as if whatever bugs they're dealin with has cost me 2nd. If I woulda been able to put my stops in I would lost approx 12K knockin me down to the 65-70% mark from that last count of 88+%....still a nice pad to work with while goin after JRB. Now I have no clue where I'm at & can't even do a thing about it if I wanted. I did take 2 positinos this AM when I was able to log in for a few mins....maxed out the acct w/gold & another pair....forget which one....maybe even gbp/jpy again w/the hopes of makin it all back on 2 positions...lol.
Unfortunately my only hope now is that others have experienced a similar fate...misery loves company.
So Worn's not a happy Oanda camper this eve....I'm throwin out the red flag here & askin for a Booth reveiw....& not only that....also callin a Personal FOUL!!! :0
Anyway....kinda sucks in that I dont have a whole lotta time these days & all that I had invested in this is all wiped out....wouldn't mind 1 bit if it were my fault of course (or if the plays woulda at least kept me in the game...lol)....but to get the margin where if I woulda been able to do what I wanted I woulda only lost a few K as opposed to approx 45+K....that's simply WRONG!!! A major tphhhfffttt!!!!
So Jester....if the Oanda bug hasn't gotten you....ya jus got your handicap as I'm right back down to your neck o'da woods ;)~
OK....gotta run....dinner time.....boilen up some artiCHOKES!!! HEAVY MAYO pls!!!!
fitting....bein Westminister's been on the last few days.....

(gotta be efficient now & make'em all count w/just 4 more to go after this 1)
Zav....good stuff on the Gartmen Letter....I've always thot that I know "I've arrived" when I'm able ta pony up for such a luxury. & on that note, anytime ya wanna copy & paste stuff & give us all a lil taste (wink wink) that'd be just fine w/me
;)~
Sherri....she's fairly cool.....tho still gives me a razz'n should I ever get caught w/the eyes in da cookie jar...which has been known to occur on 'occasion'. & indeed...if it were ever the hands or anything else along those lines....we'll lets just say my free ride stay at home Mr. Mom gig would come 2 a very abrupt end....2 say the least. :0
& Jester..... 96,194 & countin....haven a good (OK...GREAT!) day play'n da ranges if I say so meself.....forget already where I began the day but I'm thinken I've banked around 5K minimum over the last 5+ hrs.....10% on the day....fine by me.

Thx.....short xau here @ 941.49....
jus tryin to merely take what d'mrkt is offerin
Well last I heard he was goin tummy up.....
hey...could ya pls post the hyperlink to tfxh...TIA!!
so the carrot is still 30+ out in front of me....I take it we're the top 2 unless we have a snake in da grass amongst us....ya never 'round this part of da jungle I suppose.
Kewl....GL....anyone whose hiring these days has gotta have their act togeter :0
Lovin the long aud/us here @ 6509...think it's good for at least 30.....b4 it goes south much further.
Some of my usual suspects are linen up nice right now....doin some window shoppin lick'n me chops here....feel like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store ;)~
woke up to both postions closed out hitten their respective tp's.....long gold closed @ 920.84 (sure missed much of that run as it turned out) for a $3 & change payday.....& the short us/chf closed out at 1.1533 for a 30-40 pip'r.
Acct bal now @ 91,615+.....goin for the double by Fri's close....JRB.....u comin back my way or still headed north keepin that 30+K lead on me?
I say volitility will continue to be King & w/re to trying to figure out which genl direction the greenback will go is silly....just take what the chart happens to be given you at the time.....no need to overthink it....easier said than done tho I know.
We've never been down this road b4 so it's gonna be hard to say which way it'll move.....if ya ask me I say indeed it'll be the dollar that the fed will also sacrifice.....BUT, as per usual, if this is the case it wouldn't surprise me ta see them prop it up awhile longer (actually move it further north) before taking it all down. This way when/if it does finally bottom out, the bottom wont seem quite as bad.
But as stated, this is nothin more than currency fodder as we've never been down this road b4....just take what the charts are settin up 4 ya & leave the drivin to da Feds...who are of course asleep at the wheel ;)~
Zav...u subscribe?
Aint that one of'dem pricey pieces....like a coupla hundred/mos?
That's like subscribing to one of those sports handicapping rags.....then again....Gartman knows his chit.
or an excuse 4 laziness ;)~
among other things......
then again diarrhea mouth ala yours truly speaks to other not so 'bragable' traits :0
guess u can skin d'cat anyway ya like....as for me....even if it were 60 pages Sherri u r still good in my book.
OK....at present workin on
xau long @ 917.69.....lookin like a real dooufus of an entry there I know....jus thinken big pic here...not so much short term....lookin for a 920 'n change exit....&
long usd/chf @ 1.1580...lookin for a .1661 +/- exit
Other than that...all's quiet on the Worn front w/the acct restin @ 88,902 'n coin....patiently awaiten da JRB meltdown :0
hey CaT.....been awfully quiet....u r either lurkin low in the grass along w/the snakes ready ta pounce or licken your wounds tryin ta scratch 'n crawl your way back ;)~
Wonderin if u r makin da absolute most oudda your xau rope? lol
& damn if that wasn't the fastest reply ever.....lol
Was gonna edit & add....but it's still a good idea to study at least 3 pr's....a slow mover (e/u) & a moderate mover (aus/usd) & the fast movers like your g/j....maybe even dare I say gold.
I like to leave a few options open pending current mrkt activity/flow.
As for me....leanin towards aus/usd, e/u & e/j....a gold for good measure.
Tho g/j sure is tempting...just dont think I could stomach that one....then again if I can stomach gold I suppose g/j aint all that....lol
Edit: WOW.....your reply was all of 13 secs....LMAO!!!
u could study for yrs & finally think 1 day u got'er down & she'll throw a 180 @ ya faster than a Hussein Bolt oudda da blocks :0
we can always can't on D ta whip out an "I tol'ya so post" or two ;)~
Sure wish I had da'kidz 'stuff' back in da day.....I'd be sitten awful pretty right about now. Not that I got it bad now....but oh how it could be sooo much better if I woulda simply invested all my spare X in learnin 4x as opposed to all those wasted equity yrs....tphhffftt!!!
Edit: I'm thinken the ever changing situations (especially as of late) forces 1 ta focus even more so on the task at hand. Hard ta keep up w/it all as of late....but agreed in that it could easily be veiwed in the light for which you're thinken.
& Jester.....dontcha forget about da fairly significant draught we are now in....might be wise to flush every other (or every 3rd) x these dayze :0
Hey....ADHD is a Pre-Req for doin 4x imo :0
If ya dont have it....u wont be any good at this...lol

in the meantime....dont get the wrong idea w/that carrot....dont want it too far out in front of me now....30K in front of me is about right....as long as there's no one else close ta me...funny how not many others are mentioung their bals. Seems we continue ta have a few ghosts amongst us.....eh CaT? ;)~
OK.....still gots me work cut out 4 me.....keep that carrot well out there in front me of me Bud....I need the motivation.
OK....guess I need ta pay closer attn....those were right coast times....as per usual....grrrrrr.

Is JRB still north of 100K by any chance?
I'm around til right about Geithner time...assumin your eta's are on the left coast dial....gotta run out around 10:50 for the pre-school p/up.
Guess I'll sit & watch from the sidelines from now til then....or maybe dabble a bit w/a tight stop...maybe hit a grand slam if I'm lucky & hit the double mark @ 100K.
go ahead...play w/loaded dice if u dare....lol
been under water for a day + now w/my long xau & e/j.....makin the long climb back now into the green....still a bit under water but at least I can see the rim of the bowl now thru that blue tinted toilet water :0

+53 on my 3rd e/j long.....talk about missen an entry....sheesh!!

Seriosuley...last I heard Arny & Obama were on good terms....especially on the enviornment end.....as far as finances go...Obama will take care of Cali. but what really pi$$es me off is that the State Legislature hasn't been able to work together & ink the new budget....& I blame it all on Arny....wadda joke he's been...."let's all work together to make a better call-ee-4-ni-ahh" blah blah blah....if it weren't for all his posturing we woulda at least had an inked budget by now. This is by far the longest the not so golden state has ever been w/out a budget....Arny should be ashamed of himself. Go back to Halliewood.....learn ta pronounce for once....ya'd think that after all these years of liven in the US (not to mention all those years of "acting") he woulda learned to pick up a Yankee accent....tphhhfffttt!!
OK.....no more rants.....time ta go eat my Cauliflowernia & be the good lil broke ass golden stater Arny wants me 2 b :0
Not ta mention how they were also leveraged @ an ave of 30-1 between the banks....what were they (aheem Paulson) thinken? At least the Clinton admin had the brains ta turn down Paulson w/his 1st request to increase leverage when he was w/Goldman. So he simply waited for bush to come....made the 2nd request & in & voila....his wish was granted. & the irony of it all is....his excuse was that we needed to stay competitive w/the Europeans & up the ante.....& now look what it's done....pretty much knocked us down closer to their levels...& some would say below.
OK.....there's your Mon AM rant
Thx for the heads up cep.....was removed by me for spamming.....is there a way to remove the alias?....if so I'll be happy to....guess I'll wait to see if he continues tho.
