You show me yours and I'll show you mine:

I guess your talking about posting charts? Sorry I don't use charts. All I use is the DOM and an excel spreadsheet.

Euro fx futures below the pivotal 1.0000 level. I think it could trade 0.9800.

Held onto a losing trade way to long and lost some money. Try harder next time I guess.

The basics of what I know and/or believe today:
1)There is a 50% chance that the market will go up/down at any given moment (I know some of you will disagree).
2)I can save one tick by using a limit order instead of a market order to enter and exit a trade.
3)My trading will be focused on losses.
4)I will work to answer the question: How much pain(losses) am I willing to take on each trade?

There you go, those are my thoughts this weekend.

Today's focus:
1) Buying lows and selling highs
2)Learning how to deal with losses
