EUR
Discuss EUR in this thread
For those who smoke, one of the hardest thing to do is to stop smoking while trading as the 2 can become so entwined it's almost a ritual (it was for me anyway but I know many other traders/smokers will recognise themselves in this sequence if they are honest with themselves):
1.you look at charts
2.you decide on your trade
3.you roll your ciggy and light it up
4.you enter the trade
lol
sorry to break the party about smoking on this EUR thread, but do you want me to create a new thread about "miscellaneous"? I do appreciate people suggesting tips to others--it's what makes a community. But i dont want others to start complaining to me saying the forum is turning to Help column.
Thanks

When I read your quick post, you sounded uncannily just like the 'me' of a few years ago ("been trying to quit for yrs but the best I can do is 6 rollups/day") down to the "thin ones with filters" (the filters split in 2 by any chance?).
Here is a suggestion that worked for me if you haven't tried it already: go down to your local Health shop (lol) Holland & Barrett or online http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/categories.asp?cid=313) and get a pack of this (the blue packet).
In a nutshell, it's a herbal mixture, that is tobacco-free and most importantly nicotine-free; as I'm sure you're aware, it's the nicotine that keeps you coming for more so getting rid of what creates the need for a 'hit' is the first step. Now, it doesn't taste nor smell like 'normal' Golden Virginia tobacco and some people won't even give it a go because of that which is fair enough.
But if you can get past that then you can start by maybe having 1 Honeyrose out of every 2/3 Golden Virginia and gradually increase the ratio until it's all Honeyrose (as a first step). Then as your body slowly learns how to live without nicotine (and you willpower increases), you will decrease the amount of rollups you have per day until you become a non-smoker.
It worked for me a few years ago and I still have a pack of Honeyrose at home for the times when I really feel like one (maybe 1 slim one once a month if that)!
Good luck.

but also consider this AL's statement..
"The reversal still has room to run as several pairs rebound from 500-600 pip declines in the past week.."
either way.. short lesson from today is to have tight stops in this type of market..

i can't help wonder what you have been smoking to come up with that lol
you can't smoke in pubs, restaurants, offices and enclosed public places like theatres (rightly so) but it's still fine everywhere else including the streets, outside pubs/clubs.....
