You mean pyramiding? In which case the answer is both yes and no.

I've basically got 3 different strategies which employ different timescales. Recently, my lifestyle has changed a bit and I'm able to spend more time at the PC. Because of this I've started employing the faster charts (1-minute) which I've not really used that much previously. I'm obviously looking to spend less time in positions and the answer is an emphatic NO I don't add.

My slower strategy uses longer timescales and looks to capture much bigger moves of several hundred pips over days or even weeks. In those instances, YES I do add.

Psychologically, I've got an issue with being one side of a market short term whilst the other side of it longer term and am therefore tending not to use my slow strategy. There's nothing wrong with it though, and I think it's something that I need to address.

Daisy, 'lifestyle has changed', I know you are a bit long in the tooth so have you taken your pension at 60 like Choccie?

Hotei - 01 Nov 2007 12:55 - 8713 of 11056

The riposte, when it comes, is going to be savage ...

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 12:56 - 8714 of 11056

Hey, Choccie's a lot younger than me!

chocolat - 01 Nov 2007 12:56 - 8715 of 11056

I love you Hils :)

Please please say you'll have my babies.

MightyMicro - 01 Nov 2007 13:07 - 8716 of 11056

Keeping very quiet . . .

Seymour Clearly - 01 Nov 2007 13:09 - 8717 of 11056

And so you should....

:-)

chocolat - 01 Nov 2007 13:16 - 8718 of 11056

Eh up.
Flossie's here :P

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 13:16 - 8719 of 11056

Hey Chocopops, don't get carried away. I don't want any of that gay talk on here like there is on the other thread.

Anyway I've got two babies of my own and I don't want anymore. I keep threatening to leave them with Delboy but he hasn't taken the hint.

Btw, have you done something to the Yen?

johngtudor - 01 Nov 2007 13:18 - 8720 of 11056

Thank you Hils.

For myself I have a strategy of reducing my stake as the position moves in my favour, so was pleasantly interested in your approach. Clearly you need to be able to adopt two views at the same time which only certain people can handle.

Have you ever looked at using tick charts rather than mins? I have started trading Forex Futures, you can see the volume, spread is 1 pt, and the liquidity is growing, oh and importantly you get volume data! I think more Brokers are offsetting their positions in the Futures market, it's kind of interesting so I mention it, not that anyone should do what I am doing, it's just information for the thread.

Best, John

chocolat - 01 Nov 2007 13:19 - 8721 of 11056

Well I was going to ask you the same thing, ma cherry!

P'raps if we offload them mobhanded Dezza will be beside himself ;)

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 13:27 - 8722 of 11056

Good idea. If we leave it till next Summer he'll be able to give them some work experience. Wonder if he'll pass the Health and Safety checks?

Btw, you forgot the black.

chocolat - 01 Nov 2007 13:36 - 8723 of 11056

Pour toi

Bullshare - 01 Nov 2007 13:38 - 8724 of 11056

Hotei; seemed to have got away with that one, obviously must have been right! :-)

Hotei - 01 Nov 2007 13:42 - 8725 of 11056

too early to be counting your chickens Bullie ;-)

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 13:42 - 8726 of 11056

I don't know how you do it, Doris, but every time you post on this thread you make the Yen move like the clappers. You can say what you like about me and Chocopops if you do that every time. Even if it's not true.

:o)

Bullshare - 01 Nov 2007 13:44 - 8727 of 11056

It must be that sushi I had at lunch :-) I'll have a a burger tomorrow so Cable should shift a bit!

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 13:45 - 8728 of 11056

Aaaah. It'll be coming up in a minute then.

hilary - 01 Nov 2007 13:47 - 8729 of 11056

Blimey. I was only joking. How do you do that?

chocolat - 01 Nov 2007 13:53 - 8730 of 11056

Hope those are Rennies in your pocket, Mikey ;)
