Actually, maybe you guys and gals can help me figure out how to calculate profits and losses. Shorted at 1.27343. T/P at 1.27277. Profit shows 66 points. That's 6 pips?
Yep.

2734 - 2727 basically.

Took Cable short on Micro break +9 points fast in and out,, exit just above the 50 fib there was a lot more in the tank but the spread is all over the place so a bit of a barn storm to be honest. L.O.L. all done for the day happy. {image}
That'll be right!

Chopped up in the false break ... looks really strange atm, like it is real and fast, then suddenly out of nowhere it turns around ... very hard to trade like that, hope it will get easier again ...
Fix up, trade sharp ...

{quote} I see, so basically from one support/resistance that has most demand or supply to another one. Need a hefty bank to capitalise on swaps for sure ...
Pretty much.

Software would identify high volume churn and that was a trigger we used alongside dark pool liquidity.

It was like jumping from stone-to-stone on a river crossing.

We would never trade negative swap pairs on long term contracts.

And another one chopped up on false EURUSD break ... looks like that's it with the max daily loss limit reached ... need to figure out what I can do better to still turn a profit in this craziness ...

Hi, I mean the break of 1.1445. Bought it and immediately looked like piker trade. As you said, market is in retest mode, not in break out mode, that was the problem ...

The break of the 08-00 15 minute bar was good,

BUT the 00-00 4 hour bar break was up and down.
I am glad this has happened as you will realise everything is not that easy.
ADR range at 11-00 is High 12872 and Low is 12613.

If i were trading i would be countering at - 21 each counter.

we still could of made points but i am primarily looking for the adr.

Doesn't look like it's going to get all the way back to the 50.

Cable. still less than a 70 daily range.....

Today is a day i was hoping for. we had a high break then a low and up again to break high.
It happens, just counter OR use a stop.
using a stop you would be minus 42 but having said that, some guys with decent stops would ok.

Maybe minus 42, but lots of pips would of been made already....

Had two losses on the breaks ... then recovery with the long from monthly open 1.2738. EURUSD long put me slightly in the green again ... but man, I had less stressful days trading, it certainly is pretty crazy atm ...

Claudia was right ... skip on Cable until Brexit craziness gets a bit lighter ... EURUSD saved my ass on high liquidity trading ...
