Just in case anyone thinks it's all daisys and unicorns, I'm dealing with my own version of the Alamo at the moment .
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

update since my hedge all hedges still open but equity is now at 12.6% so since I hedged I've gained 1%ish if I closed everything right now but as im gaining profit on the one side the chances of price returning to my original non hedged direction increase so when it turns ill just bank back on that side. this is the gist of how I trade you can do this manually aswell its pretty simple im just terrible at following my own rules so had to employ some algo help but this is doable manually 100% {image} {image} {image}

Without despair & distraught, focus on Patience to FRESH MOTiVES.

These positions are great for the conspiracy theorists, evidence indeed it's all rigged against us , personally I believe it's what daily, weekly and monthly charts are designed for (get out of jail), and why I'm generally positive swap (at least until I get margin called).
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Yep, it definitely feels like it somehow predicts my plans over and over again. I think it is rigged to a certain extent so maybe I am one of the conspiracy theorists

I'm in with you, built up the position this time rather than all in at the Div drop, glad I did given what it just did in the first hour.

My Oanda UK100 chart (1 min) looks like this at 4.30pm UK (assuming I've got the timings right). Seems odd/sinister they can invent candles which don't exist on other's charts but I may not have my facts right on this? Suppose I could trade long regardless at 4.31pm.

{quote} Gap not filled yet
Managed to get in at the bottom pure fluke just so happen price was there just I got some internet, +30 at the moment will wait for gap to be filled before closing, if folks aren't making easy money with these DIVI trades then they need to seriously look at their MM or their patience...

Yes, I learnt an expensive lesson with CAC the other week. I was a foolish greedy sack of shite who should know better! I fired myself and replaced me with the normal Fagin again
