Thanks,
Seemed to recollect that being explained to me a while back.
How do you place a long (days, weeks) trade.
Can it be done without incurring overnight charges and interest ?
Just getting into this and on the learning curve .
Good site and info thnks
Its quite a business I know in the UK and EU.collecting the stuff from restaraunts.
I know a guy who has built his own cat-cracker.
His son runs the business.
5 years ago he went around in a tanker taking everyones waste oil.
Now they pay him to take it away.
He then puts it through the cracker column and extracts by product.
I went into the process and business aspect because it seemed something which was needed more and more.
He just said 'dont even try the regulators will just kill it and you !
Death by paper - it kills too many initiatives and sensible ideas.
Thanks,
Was looking for a way to be a little bit more relaxed and get orfff the screen before I went blind ! LOL
Do you use trailing stops ?
finger on the trigger too catman !
Dont you mean 'underkiwi' ?
Yep sure if its moving and when you have a building full of Kiwi's trading .....
NZ is totally export driven and has to keep its currency down.
Its a National mandate.
So I guess there is a reason if its attacked .
Sorry didnt mean anything other than as you can see from my handle its a sore subject with me.
The lecture wasnt specifically addressed to you just a general comment.

Thats interesting I am kinda tending the same way pull back the rubber band get in and go.
I have spent hours looking at applying TA and its questionable and quite contraditory in different time frames.
(Now I will get jumped by the TA guys)
I have noticed the 'shake out the stops' drops which appear every hour or so.
Noticable that they require us to set stops and limits too.
Still we can change um LOL
Any trailing stops in Forex ?
Problem is Griff they dilute the interests of retail investors in more ways than one.
And they can and have bankrupted companies.
Thus ripping off valid shareholders, shaking confidence and ruining good companies.
If you have ever read Gullivers Travels and realised that it is a political protest of the day you may remember the very civilized horses.
Gulliver asks what they did with murderers.
Answer we re habilitate them.
What do you do with fraudster ?
Oh we hang them !
(The reasoning was that fraudsters injure many more people than murderers)
Black Beauty by the way was an anti slavery treatise.
And thats totaly off topic Frank
Have a good evening all.
The Russians are buying ........ for the entrance fee
Will check that out in the morning.
Must become really active between sometime between Tokio and London ?
How many pips are you aiming for up and down ?
Tell me do you see a diurnal pattern in certain pairs ?
ie falls @ 11.00 daily .......
Isnt the NZD an 'exotic' ?
Reason its paired at all I would think is because of the Auckland NZ exchange.
Anyone else play it ?
The attempt to keep traders without any sleep at all and bridge the timezone ........
Thats kinda the style I am trying.
A pair with lots of volume in London hours and of course chances off opposite divergence.
I havent tried this yet but will tomorrow, just on the demo A/C but something like a 'straddle'.
Is that a known trading tactic in Forex.
Trying to get an idea of entry is the difficulty.
But going with the trend is the no brainer.
(Spotting the trend change is not LOL)
Down $400 today because I couldn't find the right button to exit LOL
Had to use FXCM, I couldn't get set up on GFT for the moment.
Can I come and live near you with gas @ 1 75 gall ? LOL
Looks like your last few nice days with the Yen may be over though ?
evening,
What are you thinking of playing in the morning ?
Been paper trading the EUR/USD from this morning.
Can see why you do this early morning.
Pretty boring after 11.00 am
By the way I think those remarks from Chalabi and Iran re oil capacity are a bit of a smokescreen.
I fear OPEC is going to make oil hurt for us I am afraid.
That was interesting,
Did a bit of digging. Theres a pic of it here
http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ncs/newsarch/2006/Feb06/microreactors.htm
What are in at the moment Elder ?
Playing a little on USD/EUR.
Humm do we become insomniacs with FOREX ?
I got the same impression BB.
It was nice for shareholders who have stood by through all the Corny crap for a year + now , to be recognised.
Guess he sure knows who his friends and who his enemies are now .
Oh yee of little faith !
Nice PR guys..........
I am guessing that the longer your target is the longer the indexes used should be.
ie your short term trendtrading short term ?
So indexes would be set @ minutes, hours, days ?
I think I need to spend a bit of time bringing myself up to date on the board messages and thanks again for the lead to a practise site.
Sounds like your having a goods day .
Thanks,
I was just looking at
www.fxcm.com
But will take your advice and give it a try.
I saw you found around 3.00 am a good time for EUD/JPY
Someone told me that was a good time for GBP/USD also.
Guess thats around opening of the London market ?
Thanks,
I take it you are purely day trading ?
Think I will set up a dummy account for a week or so and see how it goes.
What do you use as the most useful indicators BTW ?
Been lurking here for a while ataglance,
Seems you (as me) are bullish on the Euro.
I am not sure if I am not just plain bearish about the USD against just about all others unfortunately.
Would be interested in your overall long term views for this year.
One of the concerns is the potential for a Euro Barrel.
I see signs of dollar divestment generally amongst the oil producers.
This in turn can be seen by reshuffling of 'national' currency mixes as in the oil buyers particularly China
I see the Euro @ around 1.30 by the end of year.
Anyway appreciate your take on where things are going.

PS Love those penguins BTW !!
I am not optomistic design.
Its a lucrative and easy game which has netted the perps millions nay billions
They will probably bury themselves a little deeper into offshore entities and continue with another twist in the scheme.
Until the SEC take some effective punitive action against those lending out the shares or failing to account then another way will be found to trade on.
They have stood by knowing and probably even themselves enjoying some benefit from this illegal practice for years now.
They are now too afraid off the effect on the market if the practise is curtailed.
Congrats and thanks for stepping into Mide's shoes by the way justfrank.(and grapes)
One of the more positive things which has come from GTE shareholding is learning about the tech necessary to pull this 'paradigm' shift in communications off.
It maybe that the biggest hurdle is seen as getting a platform up there, keeping it there for prolonged periods but the hardest will be keeping it on station in 3 dimensions.
Even then the tech would have to be proved on the comms side.
If you think this is a given then look at some of the papers from a dept set up to research just this subject at York Univ, UK.
Just a for instance. Rain at lower levels of the atmoshere is a severe impediment to good comms on the intended wavelengths and power allowed.
But the recent good news is that they have succesfully tested communications on designated bandfrequencies in Sweden at altitude.
This is all a part of the EU HAAPS Comms project in its second year now.
Japan has a similar project.
Anyway heres the EU Capanina Project website. You may find it interesting to see where the competition is and where it intends to go.

Low,
You know I am a subscriber to the 'M' theory (He that shall not be mentioned LOL)
Your last analysis actually reinforces the logicfor me. It had a couple of tests to the theory which I couldn't discount or argue with.
(eg Why have the hedge funds got GTE in their X hairs?)
I am trying to work with the other element which may come into play, (if it ever does = pure speculation but sound business), shortly.
Certainly the pps is within striking distance of it happening now.
You remember I put forward the idea of a method of 'self financing' the Russian deal by the JV partner?
Bushwacker took it a stage further, shorting the price down to (say) $1.55 odd and then covering and buying.
Then announcing finalization of the deal.
Wouldn't that take 'M' out of the game I wonder as GTE soared off into Institutional credibility ?
You put your finger on it with the ad hominem attacks by the way.
Thanks for the correction. Typo or Alzeimers !!
Yep NY Post Murdoch's rag which rubbished GTE a while ago.
LOL
Apologies Wolfrun. Unintentional
Well almost - it did cross my mind at the time ......
It will come right in the end
GLTA
Talking off hack journalists.
I see one on the NY Times has just been caught attempting to extort $200K from someone in order not to print about him and ruin his life !
But your right, explaining the unique tech would help some and spin of reviews/articles in the glossy's.
But IMO if the Institutions are selling (or not buying more)now its mainly with the loss of cred. caused by announcments of events which then do not transpire.
They owe some duty of care and you can only cry Wolf a few times.
Good plan though maybe too late ?
Thats a bit hard on Design Pit.
I can see $3.50 with a nice pic of the Strat of its leash ....
Poor girl has stuck in with a lot of faith above and beyond.
Didnt I read someone earlier saying $10 !! LOL
Appears the Board has nailed its CEO down.
Told him to put his money where his mouth is and stop making fanciful and over optomistic targets which aren't achieved.
Notable for what it didnt mention which is Russia. IMO
The 'metropolitan' contender would most likely be Monterey, the 'trial' for which has been announced as successful.
The 'record altitude' attempt for the Strat has been put back and no longer goes for a record.
GLTA
Morning all
Aroons setting up nicely and + d looks as if it wants to cross ADX line again .......
Good on you Starboy,
I thought I recognized KG's template.
Whatever happened to Techbears chart in the IBOX ?
Whatever happened to Techbear ? Where are you Tech ?
Maybe Starboy/Kg's chart should replace in the IBOX ? Hint hint Frank !
Rocky Road for now though holding up suprisingly well.
The 37K seem to be a support factor to weigh into TA........
Yes it will happen again in our lifetimes in most other places in the world.
Only in the US do they (illogically) put the month before the day. Driven me crazy for years LOL
It will happen for the US military and the rest of the world on the 4th of May .....
They recognize day/month/year !!
So you can celebrate twice !!
Whoa..
Thats a suprise Midi, though not entirely unexpected maybe.
Are you out of here completely or becoming a lurker too ? LOL
Thanks for your time, logic, sense and transparency and constant delving for the facts - mysterious Mac too.
Cheers mate
and
Congrats Frank !
Low
Some useful stuff this morning on Wize's board on scanning for those 5, 10 20 crosses BTW. from Willsimon and Dead!
Have a good day
LOL good one !
Steady there Mate that used to be my wife.
She was just mutton dressed as lamb though .........
Agreed Low,
Finger on the trigger ..

Thanks for the link to Edgar IPO's Low.
It was the concept of forming a trading 'real estate' market that is interesting. Its trading now L 2 quotes an all !!
In and now out for the day IRXI. Nice 20% aint that often.
Sure its a gamble but so has our friend GTE been lately too LOL
Beats GTE at the moment anyway ........
Still waiting for a new entry there .
