Interesting that SNB started selling CHF just one hour before BOJ started buying JPY. Everything was agreed between the two banks.

As soon as I have an answer I'll post it here. I'm not new to this, I have more than 10 years experience with various brokers and platforms. I have done my fair share of stupid mistakes but this wasn't one of them.

I closed it with a small loss, but that's not the point. I was ASLEEP at the time the order was placed. The order was a market order placed around 2:00 AM and I slept at midnight. My computer was shut down. I have MT4 installed in 3 other computers, ...

Very unsettling experience with FXpro today. I woke up to find an open order in Gold which happened when I was sleeping. Nobody else has access to my computers and accounts and I found absolutely no signs of any hacking or remote login. It was not a ...

I don't see anything particularly unusual. There wasn't even a spike in the opposite direction before the movement. For intraday traders who place small stop losses and try to catch rather big moves, this was actually very good. The reason for the ...

Why all the surprise? This is how price moves and has always moved. Periods of ranging, periods of trending, unexpected bursts and so on. An idiot's comments or a news release are nothing but triggers to a snowball effect, augmented by algorithmic ...

I wonder how much GBP will move if Barnier states what he had for breakfast or what movie he watched last night.

The interesting (and predictable) things about this are two: 1) The timing of this announcement that ensures BDI friends and personal friends of its president Dieter Kempf will have enough liquidity to ensure some healthy profits. 2) The completely ...

In my pre-previous post I already said that it is possible (although not probable at all) that one will gain something from even the worst trader/teacher in the world. In the post you quoted, I didn't comment on whether a bad trader may be able to ...

The thing is that with coaches you already know what kind of players they were. It's not like they keep their credentials secret. Now, how many trading teachers will tell you that they aren't making any money from trading or that they are making ...

First of all we have to define what a "successful trader" is. For some, it is an amazing feat to have 20 consecutive years of annual returns around 10%. Is this possible ? Absolutely. Is such a trader also probable to teach on the side ? Certainly, ...

The only people worth paying to teach you how to trade would be those who don't need your tuition fees. The only thing most successful trading teachers could teach someone, is how to teach and not how to trade. If someone hasn't been consistently ...

Ok, I admit I'm bored to regularly update this thread. Maybe if I post an explorer and challenge myself... But anyway, this event is worth mentioning: I just moved my SL to a place which guarantees that my (still open) GBPNOK trade will be my most ...

I may lose 200 pips in a trade and don't mind much. But in other trades I may lose a single pip and keep cussing until the next day, because it was SO stupid!. Like in that NZDCAD trade, I only lost 22 pips (plus the downward move that will follow, ...

The 3 trades I made today are up 500 pips and the 3 I made yesterday are up another 400 pips. The "oldie" USDCHF is up 250 pips. Almost makes me want to take profits now. Almost, but not quite.
