Hi, I currently have an account with FXDD. They do not shut down trading and they do not widen spreads from my experience. However, it's almost impossible to get filled on a move immediately after an announcement. If you trade on MetaTrader with ...

I'm personally sensing that there's not going to be much movement tonight due to E-12 holiday. The market may just be in a range. If the news this morning coming out of the US is unexpected, it should help to move the market in one direction or ...

The 50% fibo is just above the 162% of the Bearish Gartley/Butterfly pattern. See attached image. So this also supports shorting at the 50% fibo. With the Bearish Gartley (as I understand it): (C-D) = (B-C) * 1.27 to 1.62. B = 1.2325 C = 1.1826 C-D ...

My order was filled and I got stopped out at -30 pips. Price went all the way up to 1.2500 and above as Dave said. The price went up after Unemployment claims in the US were reported at higher than expected numbers: 315K vs 305k. And on top of it ...

Dave, I'm thinking of shorting Eur/USD at a limit order of 1.2484. I'm seeing a butterfly forming on the daily chart...what do you think? You probably already know what a butterfly is, but just in case, here's some more info: ...

Good question, I'm not sure. Any hints?
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 25, 2006
Dave, Where do you think the Euro/USD is headed now?
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 22, 2006
Dave, what were the bad feelings that you had about fxdd? I was also thinking of going with them. I'm not sure about GFT...are you sure that you trust them to give you an automated direct to interbank execution?
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 19, 2006
Dave, Any news on Interbank? Also, do you plan to continue posting your trades in the near future, or are you taking a break for now?

I'm not sure about GBP/JPY...I am long on EUR/GBP at 0.6911, with a target of 0.6972. I've posted the chart. Any thoughts on this anyone?? (BTW, since I am long on EUR/GBP, I do indeed hope that GBP/JPY goes down)

Dave, when and what was the reason that you changed your stop loss to 70 pips above your trade? I kept my stop loss at 1.2130 and got stopped out. (-30 pips for me) I'm just wondering how do you know to change your stop loss? And, at what point do ...
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 13, 2006
Dave, Are you still short on the trade, or are you thinking of stopping out?

Has anyone heard of this broker? http://www.fxtrader.net ...it looks like they are in South Africa, but they have low pip spread and high leverage at 500:1. I'm going to try to find out more...

Thanks Dave, I saw that swiss bank in an earlier post. I tried to contact them, but they did not respond. I am a US citizen so it won't work for me anyway. I'm still keeping my eyes out for other brokers though. Yes, I saw those two account ...
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 11, 2006
Thanks for the advice Dave. I am not faint at heart, so I am planning to do the same with leverage - 400:1 - in fact if I could find a broker that would do even more leverage I would do that. I want to first have consistent 10 pip wins on smaller ...
- hugobossv8 replied Apr 11, 2006
Nice job Dave! I thought I would experiment with a trailing stop since I've never used them before. I set it for 17 pips when the price reached 1.2117. It went up to 1.2140 and stopped me out at 1.2123 when the price came back down. So I made +28 ...

Dave, Any idea on a target yet?

Dave, what are you using to calculate the daily pivot?
