a
didnt see no dance leander.
Me neither. I think today has to have been the dullest day of my (trading) life!!! And to make matters worse: I donât see it changing anytime before 2 January 2010 (and Iâm not even sure if the markets are going to be open given that 1 January 2011 is on a Sunday)!!! Thereâs been slight movement, so far as I can tell, in the FOREX markets but nothing to âwrite home aboutâ and CERTAINLY not enough reason to have sat here all day watching whatâs going on. What happened to our âSanta Claus Rallyâ??? From a bit of information gleaned on the subject (from the Internet and Bloomberg TV): NO âSanta Claus Rallyâ normally doesnât bode well for the markets for the coming year.
So right now: Iâm sticking with my (Wilderâs) âAdam Theory of Marketsâ (shorting EUR/USD to almost parity with the USD or better)!!! LOL!!! Itâs sure âstress freeâ that I can tell you!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Edit:
Market opens at 09h00 GMT+2 on Monday (according to my beloved broker anyway).

Hehe, when I said âit will be boring until Jan2â, in an earlier post, you replied 'Nono, there will be action before that, youâll see:
And I love the way youâre juggling years in that quote, lol ⌠using 2010 and 2011, when both times, you meant 2012.
Looks like Captain Morgan still has you in his evil claws, lol.
Cheers,
O.
Cool, does that mean if I mess up three times, and open positions against the trend, my broker will reimburse me and buy me a burger, too?
YAY!!!
See, Iâve always known brokers were nice, generous and charitable people!
O.
Youâre not joking. The âjugglingâ I didnât even notice until now!!! Thatâs my problem. I donât drink often but when I do itâs âbal*s to the wallâ and then it take me at least three days to feel human. I promise you Iâm not STILL âat itâ!!! LOL!!! Me: Iâm going for another âfive week of abstinenceâ stunt!!! Itâs just not worth it anymore really.
But Iâll tell you this: Iâve had many a discussion about this subject. Yes: I know that age (getting older) must play a part in this BUT Iâm not convinced that the TYPE of alcolhol used in, say, beer (which UNFORTUANTELY I donât drink i.e. after two beers I feel âbloatedâ) is the same as it was a few years ago. I know one or two people who drink beer like I drink Red Bull (well: the âcheaper versionsâ of Red Bull since I started trading for a living) and even THEY have said that theyâve noticed that the beer either doesnât taste the same or definitely has a more âchemicalâ smell to it than it used to have. What Iâm saying is that given the AMOUNT of beer they drink I can only assume that theyâre âexperts in the fieldâ and thatâs what Iâve heard noted in the past few years. I donât know if thereâs any truth to this but I do know that the hangovers I get NOWADAYS are NOTHING like they used to be given the same amout of alcohol (theyâre WAY worse). Could there be something to this??? Or have I just âfried my brainâ over the past few years and that, coupled with a BIT of ageing, is the problem??? But Iâve noticed too: âexperts in the drinking fieldâ also seem to get âtotalledâ a LOT quicker nowadays (not only me).
Anyway: Iâll probably still be writing or typing â2011â until around June [B]2012[/B]!!! LOL!!!
Regards,
Dale.
Yeah, same for me ⌠a night of fun just isnât worth the 3-4 days it takes to feel human again. Thatâs why I hardly drink any alcohol nowadays, and if I do, Iâm really careful about the amount.
I think itâs the metabolism ⌠just works slower than that of a 20-yr-old kid, so it takes longer to flush the crap outta the system. Itâs like wear & tear, I guess. Notice how your 5-yr-old car wonât accelerate as it did when it was brand new, hehe.
Hehe, yah, always takes some time getting used to it.
In any case, I wonât even bother to open a demo account with my newly chosen broker until Jan2 or Jan3.
Iâll just enjoy the holiday season and make use of the time by reading up on trading-related stuff.
Cheers,
O.
What was your favorite BEER Dale? I imagine your capacity now its like 1 bottle BEER share with 4 friends.
Hahah ⌠you know everyone have same feelings doctors says they are not human engineers says they are not human âŚ
Who is the âhumanâ then ???
Are you serious?
I did this type of referral marketing before Google launch in 1997, are you making money in e-gold now?
bhuahahaâŚ
Hehe, I think the âVery helpful discussionâ is slightly sarcastic, seeing as how talking about hangovers and beer isnât really forex related.
I hope the link was posted in the same spirit. âYouâll make so many pips your friends will think youâve robbed a bankâ?
O.
Yep thatâs what I was thinking, but you never know if someone is a scammer or not.
I mean, even though he may be joking, he is still directing traffic.
I think its weird when people do that. They are lurking, much like I do , then all of a suddenâŚboomâŚ
I mean if Dale did that, I would understand, because I know he has a sense of humour, even though I have never met him, never seen his face.
But from reading all his posts, I can almost hear the laughter in his voice (not singling you out Dale, just making an example).
But who is this âFreâ, this man/woman who goes by three letters only. Does he really have a sense of humour, or is he selling something.
You never know.
So show yourself FreâŚFree yourself. Come on, put one more letter in there, you know you want to.
In any case if this is a tongue in cheek retort, or whatever, then you know what, I like that this is not a really serious thread. I appreciate the wisdom some folks offer on babypips, but you have to see some of the other âseriousâ discussions that go onâŚa bit tiring. Iâm too old to be intellectual.
Having said that, I come here because the folks who rant on here are pretty intelligent, and I learn a lot from them. Even if I have to hold my nose because of all the alcohol
fumes.
wowâŚmy longest postâŚand i said basically nothing.
Hehe, and Fre removed his post ⌠or maybe a Mod did.
I had a look at that video; it starts off: âAre you still reacting to every (crappy) forex mail coming into your inbox, or do you want to be serious about itâ. Something along these lines.
lol, as if the invitation to go to that site hadnât arrived in inboxes unsolicitedly as well.
Another useless âGet-Rich-with-Forex-by-only-Paying-Me-800-Bucksâ crappy video.
Secret systems ⌠yeah, right.
O.
Probably a mod did it.
Well at least I wasnât the only sucker to click on the link lol.
But those are the sort of scams that made me suspicious about forex for a long time. I never truly believed it was possible
until I discovered babypips and ICT. I thought the only people making money from it are the banks and âŚthe scammers
NY is going to open within 30 min, there is small spikes started ⌠remember this is year end., somebody is going to make buy/sell decisions right now.
Yesterday around this time there was a spark as wellâŚthen it sizzled, then it died. No real liquidity.
Good luck out there.
Hehe, I always watch these videos, because they are hilarious.
This guy spent five minutes putting EAs and Signals down, calling them scams ⌠then proceeded by trying to sell a âfoolproof softwareâ to work under MT4 ⌠and give Signals, lmao. Very entertaining.
I think youâre right: probably a Mod checked out that video and decided to delete the post. Links like that are dangerous to newbies.
BabyPips has superior Mods, compared to most forums (forex-related or other) ⌠most Forum Mods just donât bother to check too carefully, while, from what Iâve seen so far, BP Mods really seem to have a look at [B]every[/B] single post.
This not only keeps the useless-products-links down to a minimum but also goes a long way in ensuring that members donât get rude or insulting in their posts.
O.
Yeah, most people just stopped trading before Christmas, to start again after New Year ⌠taking a nice break.
I wager liquidity isnât even 30% of the normal action ⌠maybe a âmeasly trillionâ a day.
O.
