Cheers Billy. I think it depends on your broker/EA as well. For example when I use my EA, 100 points equals 10 pips.

Yes. On a 5 digit quoted broker 1 Point normally equals to 1/10 of a Pip. Same here. I believe "Pips" are unique to Forex while "Points" typical refer to trading a Stock or an Index like for example Tesla, Apple, the Dax, FTSE. To further complicate things the actual monetary value behind a "Pip" or "Point" can vary based on the individual broker's specification for the security traded.

I do often talk about "Points" here too when trading GBP/USD instead of "Pips" even if i mean the same thing (the change in price). I think Billy got me infected with it. Yet another thing we can blame him for . I see him switching language sometimes too between "points" and "pips" while he probably means the same.

More funny i think that you people from the UK speak of "spread betting". Is that to give it a more dangerous/speculative character than just calling it trading?

I had a soccer bet last night, Germany striked again. The quotes were bad but therefor quiet a sure thing. The last few minutes of the match were finger biting but they did the job. I never tried with the horses. I think I went to a horses race once with my ex and lost a 50 Euros but long time ago already. But watching all these strange and important looking people there was fun.

{quote} Hello MichaelG, regading Counter trades - this depends on your broker and the symbols "Margin hedge" & "Margin percentage" settings. {image} Based on this setting I will get my margin back - negativ P/L remains. Check your broker's settings :-) Mucky

Thanks for that Mucky.
The penny dropped when I read your post. I remember some years ago (before I was interested in hedging) reading something where my broker (Axitrader) was going to increase margin requirements on hedges.

They didn't Muck about Mucky
Cheers

Thanks Mr. B.

Michael - ia gave you the clues.

Talk to IG and ask if you are eligible for their Swiss branch. That would solve your issues.

I've been with IG for many years in the UK with few problems. They pay out to bank/card within a few days of request.

Worth a phone call/email.

Cable, 08-00 break.
High broke for +5%.
i actually got a couple more points off a retrace trade.
Did you notice how the high broke and then bounced down off the 00-00 4 hour low.
I almost didnt trade it lol.
I am finished, going out for a wander through the trees to the coast. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Nice one

Barely noticed it, was looking at something else... Would have normally shorted that, but missed it for now.

Enjoy your walk, nice day for it

In of the retrace/Z(ish)Line. Small lot, just for fun/experience

Edit: got out for a small loss. Though price never closed above the line, not liking this sideways movement. There will be another chance later
Edit 2: It shot up just after I posted this

Going nowhere fast. Need a break of yesterday's low (55 are) and preferably a break of the 50 for more down. A break of today's high needed for more up. Obvious stuff.

Either way there should be + 40 or so to be had. Just got to wait.

No horses for me today Lem - big day at Kempton tomorrow with Hollie, Adam and even Hayley. Say happy birthday to John Gosden who is 70 today wow !!! lol

Maybe but the range on the NTBB was too large for me. Have a look at FTSE on the NTBB that would have been good. Like you I forget about it - just stuck a yellow post-it thingy on monitor !

Yep. I see the 55 area as yesterday's low and the 50 as a round number. That all said it's going up. Another wait for NY day for direction for me.

Maybe hit the pivot at 88 then down ?

Ah sorry that makes more sense, I misread your post. You are talking about yesterdays low not todays. One would think I am not exactly sharp today Thank you
