When's that? Sounds like a good day to initiate a long idea ;-) Hehe

Ahhhh. Makes cents :-P . Thanks!

What's changed to result in so little rollover interest?

I'm showing only the AUDUSD paying interest on the buy...

Lucky for me, I had been playing on & off since I was a wee fifth grader. The job was actually a long shot, (no pun intended,) getting a sales gig infused with a longstanding passion seemed a bit far fetched to actually make a living from. Seemed like a step back at the time, until I posted some big numbers my first year.

Yadda yadda, it was fun while it lasted.

I've liked the Aussie as of late, with recovery bringing conviction back to the carry trade. It'd be nice to trade a position which pays while you hold it.

Although, with the indecision still looming, I've been trying to mix it with shorts of other 'risk' pairs to hedge against any surprise moves. Especially seeing as it IS that time of year...

Just an amateurs take.... Although, I like to quote one of my childhood buddies who now works @ DB in Russia when asked about smart.vs.dumb money, "It's hard to tell the difference nowadays..."

Thanks for the info. I think guitars themselves are currently having their own 'fifteen minutes of fame.' I got in on the bull run spurred by pop punk & mainstream metal, Jack Black, & Guitar Hero in '03, so to speak. You didn't hear it from me..... but I've recently become contrarian in my stance & I'm short, haha.

Thus, the devotion of my time to the FX market.

Is it just me, or did you also get sick of looking at hundreds of little 5m candles in a row and then three 75 pippers that happened while you were in the bathroom? I'm on the Daily's for strategy now, and leave the 5m charts up solely so I can see what's happening from across the room... I'll let the people with black boxes & crazy automated algorithms do the scalping...

Really? That sounds like a good idea. Is NDD becoming a frequent request? What's your thoughts on that, do you really think it makes a huge difference from your perspective? How long have you been trading yourself? Do a lot of employees trade their own accounts as well?

Same company, but I work at a store here in CT. Started on the sales floor & have dabbled with sales & asst. mgr positions as well since. I've been with GC for about the same amount of time you've been with FXCM. It's been fun working for a company on the cutting edge, as I'm sure you've found as well.

Recently pulled back my hours to concentrate on currencies (it's hard work!) and I've been having a blast.

I hear you on the JPY crosses as of late. I've kept my size small, so the losses have been negligible, but the psychological drawdown's been a bit frustrating. Nothing against FXCM, but I've been considering Oanda since they have the flexible 'nano' style lots. I'm thinking it may help me fine tune my position sizing, and allow me to be able to execute more ideas simultaneously. My style's quickly adapted away from the initial scalper I thought I was. Small stops just aren't practical for me, I've found.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a lot of fun. I know my company, Guitar Center, has a similar position which monitors online commentary. I used to see the updates all the time in our mgmt. emails.

Do you live in the city? How long have you been with the company?

Trading's been fun, as always, lately. Despite some frustration, the fact that I'm still able to show up & 'play' each day means I'm doing ok.

What's your position there?

do you work for FXCM?
