Default only scalping long

With the trend down, I am buying, on some retraces up I sell some and buy them back at the same price or lower. Some I hold until they hit their TP.
WHen the trend is up, I have longs all the way up if it is too a price we have been at BEFORE. I am always buying and selling for a profit however I can.
If I am sitting here, anything goes. If I am not, my orders have one target.
And I sit on them until we get there. OR if I am here, more often then not
many green orders get sold, and new orders are entered to replace them.
I generally do not buy long when it is going up. Now I have nothing to do but sit. I did get $1.11 interest for the day (forex only)

Not a whole lot between here and 202.60 - except a stop over around 204.40 - if a breach here holds.

Here's a question, Elijah: I know interest is an important component, but do only scalp long on small throwbacks as price generally trends downward, or do you scalp in and out with the trend until momentum begins to level off and then set up longs? I think I know and could cobble together an answer from the thread, but wanted to hear your take.

Default Margin useage goes from 0-100%

This represents the amount of your total capital that is at risk. If you have 100K account then 3% margin useage is 3K. Meaning Ideally you dont want to risk more than 1 to 3 percent of your total available margin (after having applied leverage). So when I am at 1-3% this is of my total money which actually includes the amount effectively borrowed from my broker since my leverage is 400:1 so I only have a .25% equity share in the total available margin.

Symmetrical triangle building off higher lows from 204.65 up; current top lower low trendline @ 205.35. Upside move looks to be the more probable with 205 sitting beneath, but I'll be maintaining my short until the market takes it out.

Default She is moving so fast north

She is slowing my computer down by bogging my charting software.

So much for those shorts.

Well I am out until it falls again. Sold both orders one at break even and the other at +50 pips. So far this is not turning out to be such a long term strategy at all for me. I can't seem to hold an order overnight (purchased 3 today). Who would when you have +50 pips screaming at you.

Now I see a potential short setting up on U/J. Too bad I have to go out and buy some chips and salsa...I'm afraid I'm going to miss all the fun.

G/J has a rep of providing fun while you are out and nightmares while you are in.

EDIT: Dohh... my bad, you said U/J. I scalped that short already for 5 pips

I am done for the night. Enjoy your chips and salsa.

Default Back Below 205

So I am the only one left here to watch this thing tank after running up to 205.6 . Darn...

I expect to be in the money by the morning though, I believe she is right now messing with us.

See you tomorrow...but I will be up most of the night.
