Hello. I would like to say that I'm a "traitor." I have been betting against the US Dollar and have been doing ok. I'm also considering "betraying" the YM and moving to Forex. Forex is open 24 hrs, and it is more flexible to control how much you want to risk. But with YM, for a small time beginner trader like me, it is too expensive, even with 1 contract, and very volatile. And now there is a $55 a month charge for the YM data at TS.

So I find it fitting to change my avatar to Benedict Arnold. He is recognized as a traitor, and phonetically that is like trader.

Well Abe,

You seem to be taking smart steps on your road to becoming a trader.

That is, you are discovering what your risk tolerances are and what kind of markets fit your personality and situations.


Good luck
