With the new makeup of the House, Dodd-Frank 2.0 does worry me.

Be careful with IB. I had a limit order with a stop loss on ZB set up as a OSO order overnight before I went to bed. The order executed in the middle of the night and when I got up the next morning I was still long, even though it had gone through ...

Last I heard, we only had 3 choices here in the US.

I'm pretty sure I did my reads on Saturday from myfx. That probably accounts for the difference. Thanks for the help.

I thought it was 70%, but my numbers were apparently different on those 3 I mentioned, even at the 70%, not the 80% that you used. The 3000 volume. Is that from the Myfxbook? The number that are long, since we are taking the short side? I hadn't ...

I didn't have EURCHF(49% long) or AUDUSD(69% long) but did have NZDCHF(91% long)?

I tend to look at autochartist.com for the daily price movement range(DPMR). I'm not sure how it correlates to the ATR? You gotta give 'em room to breath! I'll take smaller positions to allow for normal movements to set my stop. I will move stops up ...

Just to clarify, I was trading stock options, then commodities. Never traded any currencies. In answer to your question, not a clue!

I have found that the Sunday open triggers some stop losses, sometimes to my tick, and reverses back to where it closed Friday.

Indeed it does. Coming from stocks/options/commodities, this is new to me. I'm really glad you helped me BEFORE a live account.

Speaking of managing risk, I wonder if someone can explain to a newbie..... I'm on Oanda's paper account till I fully understand the Forex markets. I was taken out on a stop overnight at a price that never hit. I looked on the three charting ...

For what it's worth from a first post and those that think Elliot Wave and Fib has some validity. The guy I follow, on a daily chart, has 1.3417 as the .618 retracement and labeled "typical W.2 or B target". On the 240', he has below the 24Nov low ...
