Sometimes I think this is criminally easy and sometimes I think it's criminally difficult.. Yesterday, I was actually watching a movie and I heard "Your deal is confirmed" 5 times within a few seconds.. I thought what the hell is going on?? So I come into my office room and my buy stops were all picked up simultaneously.. I picked up $400,000 and rode it an average of 200 pips in less than a minute. I was clicking SELL 40 lots like a maniac and couldn't get the broker to execute the order because the rates were jumping around too much. I finally got my order executed and made more than $8,000 in less than 2 minutes!
Then I stayed up really late and waited for the Japanese session to end.. EUR/USD found a stable bottom and I put 100 lots long and grabbed 110 pips risking 35.. Another $11,000! Had I let it ride I would have made another $28,000.
Talk about criminally easy! Oh but then there's the days when you get stopped out long and short and you're spitting and cursing and losing money hand over fist because your style isn't working.. and then there's somebody on this site talking about how easy it was to make money that day and you just want to go get a job at Burger King where things make sense.
I may have to learn equities or commodities because governments are getting tired of the "Big Casino" because Forex volatility makes their lives miserable..
