Wow, you're such a meanie! Why must you rain on my parade?
If you look over my older posts (there's really not that many), I fessed up to keeping my shorts when everyone else abandoned them, and to hedging. I follow Iris (and Phillip) because I like them, but I don't take their calls blindly - I use them to confirm my own. And when a trade goes wrong, I don't use a stop loss, I hedge. It might be wrong, it might not work in the long run, it might not make sense, but it works
for me, and it makes sense
to me.
If I knew how, I'd post my history for you - not that I really care about anyone thinking I'm trading to the left of the chart, but because I'm damn proud I waited it out - took nerves of steel to keep shorts 500-600 pips in the red and wait it out, you know?
Actually, no, I wouldn't post my history because it'd probably give any real trader a heart attack and make me seem like a total mad woman... but hey, I more than trippled my teeny $2k account, and all on micro lots (and a few minis), so I'm not complaining
Now, would you please play nice and let those of us who are happy enjoy it? Or at least contribute something useful to the thread, instead of this never-ending negativity. Seriously, I'd follow your calls if you made them - I'm an equal opportunity follower
