An apt quote from someone on the above thread.

So true.

I only traded on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The conditions were not right on Thursday and Friday; I could have traded but there was more chance of losing money (as in the risk felt higher). Tuesday and Wednesday were extremely good for me, anyway: made about 60-100 points (normally average 20 a day).

Wow. Could have made a relaxing 50points today (am trying this system using paper trading).




Anyone want to buy some scrap paper with a few scribbles on?




ps Did you notice his comment about how much he "borrows" due to leverage? It sounds like he's putting $1000 per pip. That's $50,000 just this afternoon, then. I thought about that. The idea of winning that sort of money in an afternoon's trading for myself is just head-spinning.
