Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Happy new year forex traders, sorry Im a bit of a lurker but Im a bit shy in real life too

I only trade forex, gold and the dow as having a full time job I found when trading shares I don't have enough time for proper research. I have just been doing my year end trading totals and found that I have made money this year for the first year since I started active trading four years ago.

But it could have been so much better as my figures show that my forex winnings are 3k more than my dow losses which in real terms means that if I had left the dow alone I would have made more from trading than the gross salary for my day job. I don't think I need to explain what my new years resolution is.

Happy New Year to all

Waiting to see if Cable drops thro 1.90 before opening New year trading

Morning All and Happy New Year.

Tried a small long this morning myself and was out for -35. Not a good start to the new year. Back tomorrow AM hopefully for a win..

shorted cable at 1.9016, closed at 1.8998 like a muppet and watching it down at 1.8960 !

2 good shorts and 1 long on cable this morning. but how far back up is the USD/JPY going to pull (hopefully 103.9 ish)

Support at the last of support or more downside. If we get downside it could be more pronounced than the upside but the upside may be overdue?
I am sure that skiing in Canada over the last two weeks was easier than this.

:)

Took the Short myself.

yep, short for me at the moment as well.

Still not traded. looking to go long on cable below 8710. (If it happens before 12 when I am off to play golf)

Stopped out for +37 Been a Bearish week so far.

Got stopped out on that spike for +25 (x2).
Still holding one short open with a wider stop with the aim of closing friday

Morning all, anyone with a plan

Still looking for an opening trade. Think downside limited to 8710 area on cable but no coherent strategy has come to mind so will wait and see.

mng boys and girls i dont normaaly post on here,but normally you can find me on ftse 100/indexe thread,but started to dip me toe into fx again,
being and early bird and ex/ fx broker iam well aware of moves that happen around asia/europe handover ...bit early for some 5.30/6 am our time.
iam long usd yen 104.13 since ldn trade 470 seems to be good support.
iam quiet happy with that and ahve set a stop just below 70.

mg all, watching levels dlr yen 104.50 105
