Upon reviewing my trades I have noticed that there are particular underlyings that seem to be my nemesis when I trade them.

GOOG being one of them. Seems to take off everytime I play neutral. Tried reverse psychology, but then GOOG stays put. :banghead:

WYNN is another. The scores for this tennis match remain at Deuce.

Do ASF'ers have similar experiences?

I haven't traded it for a helluva long time, but I will always regard News Corp with fear and loathing. :eek:

Whenever I touch AUD/USD, it's almost guaranteed that I'll lose money. Sometimes, I think that it might be better if I just go to the casino and place it all on black. I might actually make something that way, or, at the very least, the pain is a lot shorter. Just as well that my indicies trades are almost the other way around, but my current trading system/method isn't realising the gains very well.

However, something that's really cursed for me is betting on cricket matches. This isn't trading, but I'm currently on 34 consecutive losses, with an overall life time win rate of approx 2%. :banghead:
