Edit: Lone & Nettles...

Lone....have ya given Oanda a spin? Can demo there for as long as ya want & have several demo accts ta boot....can set up different leverages, add/remove demo funds @ anytime, reset your roi @ anytime, etc.....lotza options over there...way different from that of any of the demo side competition I've seen...& I also think they deal w/the low ball accts too when u feel u wanna give that side a try.

I like'em.....pretty fair floating spreads too...for the most part....ck'em out.

Nettles.....indeed..the long hold is a whole 'nudder animal.....different mental psyche fur'sur. Ya gotta be willing to be down huge at any given time (of course u still wanna try & nail the entry) & of course feel comfortable walking away. You really gotta work hard at allowing yourself ta sleep w/an open position...easier said than done when all you've known is scalp'n. Of course you also have to believe in your big picture call...I happen to feel the dollar is destined for a fall....& we're beg to see fairly clear evidence of this now....also beg ta hear more & more sentiment along this train of thot. I'm beg to read more calls now for a greenback fall. Really makin that usd/chf short in the 1.2177 neighborhood look sweeter 'n sweeter. :))

Demo w/that strat 1st tho...see what coulda been :0
