{quote} Read the thread. Think I made 1k trading the 'not the billy bar'. Difficult to lose today. Target hit for the week with a good sell off NY.
I just posted a chart. You are right. Looks like any selling since the NY open has been good.

I did first came to my screen just about an hour ago. I took a short at @1.37800, TP 10, so @1.37700. SL was only -10 (yay, i am getting better at risk to reward, only 1:1 hehehe). Worked out, took profit @1.3600. I started doing these trades as an alternative to the BillyBar with a daily goal of making 10 Pips with a fixed SL of -10 at max. Trading the "breaks" of the these round numbers (10,20,30,40,50,...) after the H1 opens for 08-15 GMT and GBP/USD only.

Works quiet good so far, i am only doing this for a 2 weeks now and only took a handful of trade. I havenīt run through any larger drawdown periods. I had one stop out for -10 after 14 trades and a few where i jumped out earlier moving my stop from +5 to 1 where it then retraced against me.

But this is only to "fix" for the fails i have with trading the BillyBar. Not looking to make more pips at all. The main goal is still to come out at +5 at least by the end of a week considering in the fails too.

Hi Guy's and Gal's. The new and restrictive changes to margin and leverage requirements set by ASIC came into force today. Quite a change that (probably) means that GU trades will not be on my agenda at all now. Essentially.... Prior to the changes....and remembering my account is funded in AUD... Example....A 0.10 lot size would have required a margin of about $180.......therefore a $360 requirement if you had a counter on. NOW....the same lot size requires $602 .....therefore $1204 if on a counter. They are making it harder to make a quid......even...
But don't you know it's for your own good, buddy?

Hi M, these damn margin rules are terrible.
It means it will take slightly longer for a person to lose their money.
It costs me thousands to place a trade, luckily the margin is quite safe.
Trade well and welcome to the margin club.

Hello MichaelG,

regading Counter trades - this depends on your broker and the symbols "Margin hedge" & "Margin percentage" settings.

Based on this setting I will get my margin back - negativ P/L remains.
Check your broker's settings :-)
