Indeed....good pts about how much one is willing to stomach being down @ any given time.....long usd/yen was my biggest loser at a given time...had 2 positions there open at the same time & 1 of those was a 4 unit call @ the lows they were down a combined 3K+.....but I held on long enuff to weather the strom & those trades turned out 2 b one of my biggest biggest winners. But I hear ya on all counts....of course one has gotta have a decent bankroll to weather the storms...dont think I'd ever consider opening an acct w/less than 10K & @ that start off very conservatively w/the goal of slowly pacin myself to build the acct up to at least 20K+ before tryin do anything more than 2 unit trades.....mostly 1 unit.

I'm usin pretty much the same strat now w/the demo acct....treatin it as serious as I would w/a live acct. Wanna go at least another coupla weeks before I really tryout any other strats.

Jus opened up a short aus/usd @ 8399 w/a 8385 exit...this time I'll do my best ta hang w/it til 8385....fighten the urge now to close it out w/a 3-4 pt gain....but like a rookie....I opened up the position right before the day closed soo now I got a 1 day rollover so far & I've only had the position 15-20 mins....lol

Was sorry 2 have had ta miss all the news that came out this am.....really wanted to follow along r/t to see how all the charts reacted...guess I'll have to go take a gander @ that later on after I go get some rest.....da epidural on the low back went fine (as per usual) this am....4 shots total.....2 on the left side & 2 on the right....L4 & L5....so hoefully I'll be all good 2 go now for another 6 mos or thereabouts. Tho I wont be able ta sit for all that long 4 at least another day or 2...maybe 15-20 mins max....so I gotta make it fast here as I'm already feelin sore & fatiqued from just typin this post out....Thx again for all the support & advice...it's truly appreciated...I better go now b4 the drugs really take hold here & I start gettin all gushy-sentimental on u all :0

Last look here @ the short aus/usd....holdin it's own up 1 pt....minus that freakin 15 min rollover....lol.

Cheers!!
