Yep there has been some incredible opportunities today.

I made 62 pips in Gold and 31 pips in the Bund.

I was particularly pleased with the Bund. Pin bar on the 1hr off of 61 fib and S/R level. Price went sideways for a few hours and then fell like a stone.

Thanks to Jim's zones, I managed to close out just 2 ticks off the low of the day, too!

Hi Wiz,
Itook swissy long, and eur short. Tiki sold me on Jims idea of taking two positions, and taking profit on one at 30 pips and letting the other run, so I got 30 on both and then eur was knocked out at b/e. Im still in swissy with sl at b/e. I kind of like the idea of getting some profit and moving on... I also took a cable short on a 4hr pin, I saw raczekfx´s charts on friday night and got psyched...I hr is still too crazy for me, I know it works for you but I dont want to be watching all day...so a pretty good week !!! take care all, Raz
And JIm
Never say never.

Well, as is normal for me, I could not be patient... Was trading short on USD/CAD down the right shoulder of the H & S... thought I saw it turning back up this morning so I bailed out... of coarse it went ahead and came down and touched the neckline... more pips I could have had... not that I did not get any... just my habit of getting out early... and once again have to kick myself in the...

Oh yeah! LOL forgive me, I'm not with it today.

I'm long Gold now from a break of this key resistance at $675...I hope that's not a fake out too...
I was gonna say well even if you're not with it today, I'm still with you, but I just read you already left Gold again

I'm still long from 665$, 666$ and 674$, stops at b/e, 670$ and aiming for 700$+++ since I believe that if 681.5$ s/r and 685$ TL goes, there's a really good shot at 700$.

Also the amount in real money I am trading are only "for fun", so it's more a question of "how far can we go" rather than "oh no, I am so heavily long I need to take profit or get a heart attack now" levels

Very good for seeing how trades can grow and develop =)

Also I want the NUMBER!

Would be nice to stay above the 672$-675$ area even if pushed back by that TL. I had originally thought there was a HNS on weekly, but so far we've almost taken outthe right shoulder and I think we got a good shot at making a (possibly minor) new high for 2007 before another dip back sets in.


This is just wild guessing on my behalf, not something to trade from, obviously. I'm just speculating on some scenarios. Things can and will change on a daily basis.


Some really nice setups across the board today, close is in 1h.

Let's see some Asian Aviation!

just for kicks was watching 5 min chart of EUR/USD after hours. Here is a good illustration of how brokers make their money. Same currency, same time, 2 different brokers.

zzz - this is not an example of how brokers make money it's simply an error in their data feed.

If you spreadbet you can often make large amounts of money trading these spikes. I have made several thousand doing this and I was allowed to keep most of it although lately it's been getting harder as the brokers become more aware.

Hi Seeking,

I closed at $682 because I wasn't convinced that $680 was going to hold.

I think we may well have a go at $688 but I expect a return to $675 first.

Hi Wizard,

The feeds are often wildy out - I am not sure why. One reason that was offered (when the S&P was quoted a full 700 points from the underlying) is that the prices are derived from the average of the best bid and offer, plus the spread - if one of the sides (bid or offer) were missing due to a data error, it could lead to a quote of 1/2 the underlying.

I don't trade direct market so I am not sure if it would work with a broker but I have tried with the feed from a SB company and made money doing this. Often when you make a few thousand in seconds they notice but mostly hundreds and certainly tens of pounds of profits doing this go under the radar. I've made a couple of decent sized stakes doing this although its not a way to make a living - a bonus at most!

Hi guys,
Just for arguments sake I would add that a lot of people do call it stop hunting, on the premise that forex is an unregulated market, and most brokers only make money when they are filling orders...so basically they can call their own prices. Most of the time prices are pretty close across the board, but you get these odd moments when OOPS it spikes up or down 30 40 or more pips...the most likely scenario is that you are in a trade and the spike knocks you out, funny, I havent heard of getting spiked to your limit hmmm I wonder why that never happens, hmmm not sure there... but this is just a personal opinion, and Im not going to get into the ifs and buts, just I dont think I would like to trade with a broker that was spiking hundreds of pips under or above current prices I wouldnt feel very safe personally...hope youre all making loads of pippos, Raz
