Forex Day Trader's Thread

I actually put a buy stop at 1.4055. That was just a very quick scalp with a very tight stop (6 pips) because the last three times it hit resistance it took a few tries and small retracements to break through.

To illustrate the difference between an experienced trader and an inexperienced trader, Pipp and I both saw the same opportunity yesterday, both took the same trade, I made 8 pips, he made over 100. My problem was placing my stop way to high to guarantee a profit rather than accept a possible 15 pip loss in turn for over 100 pip gain.
 
this would be a good time to short USD .. what's going on with this bounce? Which ******** politician is talking now..
 
Very nice, good thing you've had a good day!

Bernanke isn't saying anything, just speaking at a commencement, so I don't think that has anything to do with the USD spike. Not sure what happened.
 
spreads are starting to get ridiculous.. I'm done for the week.. Did pretty good after another disastrous Monday.. See you guys Sunday afternoon!
