yep..management!!! that's why I kept my mouth shut, and yes, out of character by a long shot..
but once the oogling started from the guys (and most women)..I decided to take the stoic, unamused,
aloof tactic....obviously no gain:) next time going to 'cash' straight away and see if that works..:)

Yes Ashraf's ideas would be interesting considering the forum he runs. I suspect most here are much smaller players than you, yet Ashraf calls are mind bogglingly dangerous for smaller players with little or no trading experience. I think Subway might agree with this comment. MM and trade management are crucial to trading success.

On the more important observation you made "silence" would seem out of character :-)

Dave''of course newbees can take 1k and turn it into 2k and have great percentage..but as you know
in portfolio management 'flat tail occurs' and a more reasonable return emerges (or loss)..
would like to hear Ashraf's ideas abt trade size per account size'...

I was stunned into silence, thank goodness :)

Dave..there are no 'bigger bucks' public forums, some private ones with some cb's like the one I was tellin you abt
from Trinidad and around...I always have loved a public forum for more than just trading ideas..but the 'internationalism/culture also..its a good time...look at sub/digi...they enjoy a good banter also....
if one is making 3.5% month on their account, a viable target early on..then soon the account size demands higher size trades to keep pace and for full utilization of capital within the rules of thumb of fx
account growing.... optimizing available margin....'cash available for fx account' is also an allusive item, in that you might have a 50k account going but knowing you have 150k ready cash for all events, makes a diff in outlook....it's different in stocks where the leverage so low....
fwiw

Thx Ignore, sorry I got dragged off to last showing of "Da Kings Speech", very good low budget film !

That's big size you play for this little forum. Shame we don't have more structure in this platform. Yes Ashraf, that is a dig, a daveo dig, nothing to do with you misreading my post yesterday on the eurusd. If you take a look at that chart today you will see just what I meant for a silly short entry.

sub, I respect your view of the EURCHF chart, but FX trading is not just charts. Charts/Price reflect expectations. And expectations change. So here I am talking about a possible break above 2855 on a possible respite of risk-aversion as mentioned below. Same with gold.

shorts still favored for eur/chf as long as below 2855.... clear break above 2855 will likely see rise toward 2940/50 level...
still expecting to see 2700/20 level to be tested...

read my entry in goldoil thread. I am not ahead but at the curve.
Lybia is the reason for EUR up. In fact EZone inflation goes up for months and ppi is out of control. So the market bets on ECB hike, as well as on BoE hike as oil is supposed to raise further. However either is impossible.
EFSF needs to buy bonds then and only then ECB can hike. As long as liquidity strapped banks borrow directly from ECB , they cannot hike. Same goes for FED. But Dr.Ben clever man. Trichet not clever man.
