I ended up doing my least favorite thing scalping the fed announcement because I had genuine excitement about the Race, great idea guys. Back to bed for me, I will post my statement later.

I, too, suffer regular migraines. I feel your pain and hope you feel well soon!

I have been having them since I was about 16-17 but they have been getting worse over the years my neurologist is pretty certain staring at monitors all day make them worse. But what are we going to do.

Sorry for the off-subject post.

That's great, Fxt, we're glad to have you join us, and I wish you good luck. I would like very much to see you pull One Million Dollars from the vaults of fxcm (via trading, of course, no dynamite and tunnels allowed!

Best Wishes,

Thales,

One small rule change request. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take my 3 year old to pre-school, and don't get to the office until say 9:15. After the greetings and such at the office, I am running very close to 9:30 by the time I get to my desk. I would believe that others may have a similar problem. Can you change it to 10:00, or allow for a little slippage. Thanks.

Office? You mean you work for a living?

Sure, we can allow for some slippage a couple days a week. I think we do want to maintain some degree of uniformity and hence credibility, so we should all try to post our statements by 9:30 AM whenever possible, and if not by then, at the earliest possible chance one gets.

Best Wishes,

Thales

Ha. I used to work for a living, then came the great housing collapse. Placing big bets in California and Nevada didn't pan out well. Now I just go there to get away from the house and take calls from all the banks that I owe. Thanks for the slippage.
