If this was a normal market, I’d be trying out that strategy (buy in fall, sell in early spring for maximum return), but I don’t want to have much money in the market for months.

At this period of turmoils, i trade options only, the options on indexes.

With the state of SKF in limbo, I don’t really plan to do anymore of the “dangerous scalping”. Just regular scalping 🙂

Do you trade stocks at all, or just options?

yes, of course it’s scalping, exactly, but bad scalping… like bad loans 🙂

Hi again 🙂

Btw, I don’t know what ‘pipsing’ is either! (sounds dirty) I searched it on the internet, and there’s not much. I see that some people use it in Forex but it wasn’t clear what it means.

I think it means “scalping” but not sure. Confirm?

Oh my twist of the tongue!
But it was deep and wicked blow 🙂

I know what both of these are but have never seen anyone abbreviate them like that 🙂

This month I’m using QuestraderWEB.

And I don’t “set and forget” the sell orders. I usually have targets in mind, but sometimes they aren’t reached by just a few pennies, so I generally prefer to watch the action and then sell at a price that I’m OK with.
