Mr Ben

thanks fine frog.Everything pointed to the aud going up.The stars aligned.I bet and when it went my way I pressed hard and bet bigger.I honestly thought it would go to parity.I was accussed of being reckless but I considered the chance of downside so small that it was worth a big go.
Its not a bad way to make big money from trading.If you win keep all upping and when you have a huge profit bail and do nothing untill there is an reaction in the opposite direction.Go again and if your wrong just stop and take a break.I spent most of my trading life scalping a few hundred here a few thousand there.Never have I pressed that hard before.The 170k profit for me has meant that I have given up work, maybe for the time being ,maybe forever{I hope}.I paid my mortgage off and life is pretty cruizy now.
I was thinking to put 300k into a trading acount and scalp for a few thousand at a time.I've decided against that and have reduced my account to 20k of which I will risk maybe 5k at a time.If I'm wrong Ill just stop.If I'm right I will all up and pyramid untill I get over 100k and then stop.My living costs with no mortgage are about 25k a year so 100k will allow a great lifestyle and travel. I hope that in 2010 contributors to the forum make their own life changing trades. All the best.

well done mrben

bump

ahh the memories

29dec 2009 I thought 170k profit was huge. How times change.

The only thing worse than fiat money is imaginary money.

Interesting.

So, any ideas what Fine as frog hair's old username was?

Nope.

It was Youlittlebotty

Was it in fact ?

What's the difference, Youlittlebotty or FineasDogsHair?

You can't hide ignorance no matter what the moniker is. That's his problem.

I suppose you wouldn't be able to hide any true characteristic come to that, if that was the intent ever of someone changing his chat name.
But have I really changed mine ?
Would I really be that ignorant ?
On second thoughts, maybe I don't want or need an answer to that last question .
But it's out there now.
Self inflicted pain.
Don't you all just love it ?.

I have a perhaps more relevant question.
Should Menelaus be encouraged to change his chat name to the more appropriate one " You little potty mouth " ?
But I suppose it wouldn't hide his arrogance in his case ?.

mmmmmm I dont think froggy is the old botty.

botty was quite arrogant.As I remember he told us he was "riding off into the sunset"
