At least you only have to dodge the knife, try a shotgun aimed at the computer screen.

Good thing I didn't end up taking that long trade on the pound on Oanda.
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

I placed a buy at 1.9619 for 1000 units.

hey mike w. , thanks for the clarification on fib. i will have to read that 100 times to understand, but i will figure it out. no, not a billionaire just yet, but if i can use all of this info i see here and put it into practice, i just might be. i was thinking out loud that if we all bought into the market retracement, would that not help the movement along?? i figure the more pressure either long or short should make movement, albeit little, but there could be influence and sucker a few big players to sclap a few more pips!! a dream, but some are good!!

fixme1too,

I have been looking at the dynamic displays for bloomberg and saxobank. I did not save any numbers. Perhaps if you get a demo from NorthFinance they would have charts. They apparently were reporting some of the large changes. A number of the pairs varied from the values on Oanda. I think that this happened after the Tokyo market closed this morning. It was the only major market open and after it closed this morning the reported values varied because of the very thin market. After Tokyo closed there was very little movement in the values on Oanda. As we again approach the opening of Tokyo the numbers from Bloomberg and Saxobank have come into line with the numbers at Oanda. I assume that the values at NorthFinance have done the same.

Very Good point

Which, go for more or for less pips?
As can be seen in some charts he has trailed bigger trades for weeks and pips are accordingly.

I would say his thread is more about the setups of PA than any money management advice. That's a bit more Fijis department

Personally I've found out that you don't want to continually close trades for the same size as your stops but let them go at least 2-3 times as long.
If they don't have the potential to go a multiple of the stop, then why did you enter the trade?

Looks like things are normal... I could trade now since I use Oanda... except spreads are still at 10 pips for all pairs.

Hm... isn't this a market gap and will the market not try to fill it?

This is very wierd stuff, guys, I was in a short on Oanda Friday and was flipping out because I caught the Bloomberg quote at some relatives' house on TV, then came home to find my trade still in the black. I don't know what's up with these quotes, everyone is all over town...

Right now Oanda shows 1.9591...

If there is or was a gap... then it has already filled in...

I don't think there really is such a thing as gaps really, cause Oanda is always right there... price starts moving at noon on Sundays... BUT where you guys always say there is a gap... YES, I see it almost always gets filled in...

You know what i saw that also. The bloomberg quotes were far different from the actual quotes. I thought that was a replay or something.
