further thoughts — Hi rtrs111 et al, Just for interest, my take on some of this. These conclusions are based on my backtests of various variations on Tony's two methods outlined in this thread. It is not science but is my overall view of ...

commission!!!! — When you figure out why the winners on the NY short were so thin on the ground you let me know. In the meantime enjoy the "free" brokers. I will pay the .6 of a pip and take Tony's Disco Balls.

140 pip win — From Yesterday's New York Open.
- Salient replied Dec 14, 2010
NY Open — Short and covered. Speaking of bad spreads. I was using the actual ask to calculate my long entries but the spread is often as low as .4 of a pip so I had to hard code it to 0.9 of a pip. I still have not seen any of this wide spread ...

Free lunch? — I use MB and I have not seen any large spreads in the EU over the last week. It costs me .6 of a pip round turn in commission. However that is not added to the trading price. When I land a 140 pip win that others don't because of ...

.... and you did try again by closing down MT4 first? See the previous post. If that does not help please tell me what broker and any messages in the experts tab.

LO - Long — I had the opening bid as 1.33356 and my entry is 1.33385. I have to say that missing a winner because of spread would not be a good thing. The whole point is to catch the odd winner after all.

LO - Long — No problem on MB, long and covered.
