What I don't like as a retail trader: Huge spreads (e.g. GBP/USD: 1.5 pips vs. 0.7 pips for professionals (at least 1 lot trading)) Two days ago I had that situation: My Trading was: +$16 My Spread was: -$20 (1.8 Pips) So I had: -$4 When I would have been professional I would had have a gain of $5-8 Dollars instead of a loss. ------------------------ The 2nd thing I don't like is professionals can use volume gaps to push market up or down. We can't. What you see currently is they try to unwind (buy back) their short positions. And yes, they can...
Are you trading raw (with commissions) or standard (without commissions)? I also understand that there are better rates for more active traders.

First target reached: 1.2775 - you see how "chewy" (like a chewing gum) the market is... I think for none of us (even the professionals who pushed market down) it is a good day of profits. They try to buy back very slowly to avoid public to see and to reduce their still to big risk. Now US-Open. Now they can buy back more peaces without moving market up too much. You, as a retail trader who bought > 1.2784 will be still in a mess.

That's the unfair part in my view. Now almost 1.2780 as I'm writing... Expect a stop of moving up before news at arouind 1.2784. May be it will not be reached because they still take a small risk before news (hoping for strong datas so us-dollar pumps up and GBP/USD goes down). They like to do that if they have not earned enough money in the day. Could be the case today.

{quote} Hi The Wraith, AUD USD Thanks for your comment. I appreciate such a mature exchange in this thread, even though we're not trading in the same direction. I've attached a chart that shows how I'm looking at AU pairs after the High Impact Interest Rate ddata release earlier. As you can see, I'm expecting a short-term pullback before the pair continues its uptrend. I'm looking forward to more healthy exchanges in real time. I think it's important to be able to discuss our different trading ideas in a respectful and constructive way. Sincerely,...

I'm trading on Daily Chart, so these news shouldn't really hit my SL if it goes the other way. There are news, however like Interest Rates, CPI, NFP when I will not stay in the trade nor open a new one before they are out of the picture. This lower impact news shouldn't really matter too much for my trades.

All closed at 1.2789 (jump on news). Now market is free again for move up or down, they messed it up today, expect no more up now and now new low anymore today. I'm out. See you.
