It is the same trade, day after day. Just trading the statistics.<br /><br />If trading FOREX, I'll trade one of the majors during the London and NY sessions and EURJPY during the Asian session.<br /><br />To me, trading is simple. But there is a vested interest in keeping traders thinking they need a bunch of SQUIGGLY LINES on their charts to make money. How else do they sell books, software and seminars?<br /><br />Keep speaking out. NEVER GIVE IN. NEVER BACK DOWN.

Ended with a snmall gain today (6 pts or so); I'm just I glad I managed to stay out of trouble.E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-29969963308945657322009-05-05T19:14:00.000-04:002009-05-05T19:14:00.000-04:00Hello Don,
