I changed accounts. I also have accounts in my wifes name that I have trading authorization on. So I always have an account that is empty.
my forexcom account is empty. I gotta get $1000 in there before they cut off my esignal feed. I have been playing forex so long I have accounts all over. SOme of them I guess got closed when I withdrew all the money.
But most places like forex.com won't close your account because you remove all your deposits and profits and zero your account. The account I am trading now is my wifes and had $40 left in it from when I got wiped out on 3/16/08 a few pips up from 192.60 where it bottomed. That was very sad.
Because if I lasted through that down I would have made a small fortune on the way back up. I have a loss leader at 205.oo now. I bought it when price hit 205 then it went down lol. I made a few hundred pips today while I Was doing service calls. fxsol lets you change to micro on your own from the account settings I learned. SO I vcould have been playing 5k lots which may be the ideal size. I just don't have enough funds to have 50K consitantly sitting in forex. I have mad mortgage payments (DRAWDOWN UGH!).

rrram2, how are you flat? Did you open a new account? I have not been able to play this move up at all as every time I put in a trade it rejects it with "Not Enough Money"...how sad!!!
I couldn't switch to micro midstream like you could.
Thanks too for the very nice note about "burning desire" being the cause behind effect....focused intention is indeed the path to manifest desire. Thanks for the words....
Best...Todd
