I'm feeling extremely confident Europe will send it up.. The Geithner comments about the recession being over plus this NZD action in early Asia are setting the stage..

im long 1.4808.... small size, no stop in for now... see what it wants to do

 

[Pippy5000]

My stop is uncharacteristically large .. -55 pips .. I'm looking to 1.489 and I'll t/p and reverse short there.

 

[bbc1183]

pretty ridiculous... cant believe its taken back that whole move already even if it was only 40 pips

I suddenly feel too old for trading.

 

[Pippy5000]

I think my broker was right stop runs generally reverse .. very irritating.. BUT .. don't worry about it and stick with the overnight plan.. it's going up!

 

[Pippy5000]

how old are you Masquerade?

 

[Pippy5000]

awesome .. catching some fresh bids at 1.48... we'll be ok..

 

[Masquerade]

how old are you Masquerade?

24

 

[Pippy5000]

why dont you trade some more exotic things seeing your always up for asian pippy, like sing dollar vs yen or somin

 

[Pippy5000]

I made $38,000 per year at NASA when I was 24.. believe me, you're not too old

On chf/jpy, had a few pips profit and it moved within about 10 pip range for the last 4 hrs or so, then it just dumped 50 pips or so in the space of a minute. Not a good feeling...

I was tempted to enter before the sudden move, but didn't. Hold no position now, just looking around

 

[Pippy5000]

Actually I have been tempted to trade NZD but I it would just be gambling .. I'm not familiar with it

 

[bbc1183]

i bought... 1.4808.... feel ok about it.

Is that job still going? I'm prepared to talk BS to get through it.

because the guy has passion for asian girls

 

[Pippy5000]

no, I worked there for a few years, made a ton of money doing marketing for eBay, wasted it on a nightclub that tanked, got my old job back (for less money as punishment for quitting), discovered trading and quit again with no possibility of returning.. If you have a degree in computer science and enjoy 12 hour work days for less than the national average then NASA has a ****ty job for you too!

I could be tempted if they want to get me a green card. I don't suppose you could put in a good word for me with your past with them
