After putting my London breakout trade this morning, I went back to bed and went about my day. I get to work and low and behold my account was frozen. I was looking at a slight drop on G/U and losing pipage and could not get out using my mobile app. My good friend Joseph Rivera was giving me a play by play on what was happening. Low and behold I get an email from FXCM saying they’ve been hacked and my password was reset. A quick call to the trading desk closed out my position with 13.3 pips to spare. I have a feeling something is brewing. I’m ready for the big moves tomorrow.

RISK DISCLOSURE: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp difference between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot befully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
