this story took place in November 2001. The economy was bull at the time. Hoot, if you lost a second, chances are you'ld hit a Nelson before a Jimenez could say "currency exchange uk" back then. So anyway,
my man and i were playing at FXDD and the trade derailed. Some online mag had a tip about the fact the marine equipment exports are predicted to plummet and affect the THB rates. It promised me that the scheme of a big sell at that time is the real deal! Given what data that i was routinely exposed to, i loaded up 100 mini lots. I waited for a long wait, as the stop loss line slowly caved in, untill lacklustre variance began to turned perceived. 5 minutes later the base currency took off through the roof! The account unloaded at a loss of 79 percent! I was turning kinda vexed. I was sure THB rate will be affected by the drop-off in the car companies, and accordingly is going to fall. I had chucked 100 Valeries no matter how you cut it. But then i sold at a profit of 114 pips per unit. Now that was a real surprise! So i had gone down all the way from a bankroll of give or take five thou to 4906 lots. At least i still got my shirt on;)
