The [EUR/YEN] is off the 118.04 high to the 117.30 level. Price actions at the peak are 118.04/03/00, and thus the territory above 118.00 looks heavy. 117.30 stops and 117.50 offers have been tripped and filled on the way up. Pension fund's Yen crosses buying has been noted in the AM session. The pair is partly above the hourly Ichimoku cloud top (117.68). 04:42 GMT - The [DLR/YEN] eases through 91.00 after hitting the high at 91.27 midday (91.20 stops tripped). A US investment bank has been a good seller initially, with exporters' sales constantly noted. Pension fund and models (especially for [STG/YEN]) are the reported buyer in the morning session. Also price actions at the peak are like 91.27/26/27 (for about half an hour), so good two way businesses went through.

Weak crude oil prices which fell below the $35 level and the other commodities with the exception of gold saw the Loonie reaching a three-week low against its US counterpart. The [USD/CAD] rose to a high of 1.2550 as soaring risk aversion on market uncertainty on whether the US financial rescue plan is going to work gave a lift to the Greenback. The Dow dropping close to 300 points was also a drag on the Loonie but its recovery to finish the session for a loss of just 6 points saw the Loonie bounced sending the pair to an o/n low of 1.2387 before opening this morning around the 1.2425 level. The pair is likely to trade in a tight range with only Canadian new motor vehicle sales and U of Michigan Confidence on tap. Buying orders at 1.2380 and selling orders at 1.2480 will keep the range this session.

Happened to me a few times, mainly on the Symbols window, it behaved like the window was open (i could press ESC to get out of it) but i never saw it...
The only solution I found was to uninstall and wipe any metatrader registry entry in the windows registry...

I've been using MT4 for some years now, but most intensivly these last 6 months, and I find that when I drag the window around more (between monitors, etc) more likely is that problem to arise...

I'm still clueless if there is any other solution besides this "radical" one.

if...
You gave me an idea that fixed it. I'm surprised I didn't think of it before. When the window is up but "Hidden", Hit Alt-Space. This works on any window and brings up a drop down menu. If the window is not maximized, then one of the options is Move. Hit M for Move . Then use the arrows to move the hidden window around until it is on screen. I recently upgraded to two new 22" monitors, so my indicator window was off to the right some where.

Of course Cobra can speak for himself, but I sincerely doubt his thread would allow or put up with the nonsense this one particular poster in question.
Right AK, let me write some words about Elg.

He was taught several times to visit babypips.com and make his homework.

He didn’t hear and risked money that wasn’t his, that is a violation of the rule number 1 of Forex trading: don’t risk funds that you can’t effort to lose.

For my opinion it was a kind of irresponsibility to himself to start up with a business that he didn’t study and intend.

I understand his panic to lose but not the constancy to mess up a thread.

Here and in all FF threads newbees are welcome as long as they follow the rules.

There are hundreds if not thousands of new traders that want to learn how to be successful in FX, and I would not allow anybody wasting our time reading the same question in the thread over and over again.

In my thread have not been a single question that hasn’t been answered, even if we need to repeat sometimes but reading almost 6000 posts is crude as well.

I feel sorry for him losing that hard but on the other side, any intelligent person start with study and Demo trading before risking real bucks.

A thread starter has some tools that he can use if he wants to avoid someone posting, this thread has no starter anymore and it gets out of control sometimes.

Have a basquet full of pips everybody

It worked also here!

I have two monitors on this laptop, the laptop one is 17", the external is 24". I had a previous setup where the 24" was to my right, but recently I changed it to my left and re-configured it.
Now, after you mentioned that, I immediately recalled the last time I used the symbols window was way back then, so I just did as you did, and blindly dragged the window back from the right side even without seeing it

Well, problem solved for both of us!

with this observation, in your opinion do you think shorting right now should be considered more carefully?
i dont just jump in much.... my entries are mostly out the box.... on the outer edges of trends or a pivot away from where it is now.. my entries are with the trend usually.. but i longed today coutertrend only because my down risk were limited to new lows..i will long eu again if it gets in the 1.27 something area again..i think the bull and bears are fighting and we are nearing a longterm pivot. I think it could go either way long term...i miss a lot of trades but this limits my loss cause my entry is usaully just a spike on the chart..then goes my direction..i only made 2 trades yesterday up 75 pips then lost 90 cause i screwed up with sl.. it hit my sl then 3 more pips then went my direction as i slept.. it was on the gbp that 90 pips cost me 300......oh well gotta sleep sometimes...

Exactly and on a public forum w/o controls, this mess is what you get sometimes. Look for something new next week that hopefully will address that issue in a beneficial way.

Thanks for your input, you and your team have raised the bar here at FF a notch. Or maybe two...

Hi Jay,

I am in Duai transit lounge, ten more minutes to catch my connecting flight. What is that 44 dead sad news?

On the other note, you analysis was 100% correct, eur/usd going down before it takes off. I will check the news. This message is to recongnize and appreciate your analytical abilities. I will go long if it crosses 1.3050. Also thanks to MackS10 for his analysis of last night. JDI was down by 190 point when I departed this morning from JFK but is now all set when I landed after a12.5 hour flight.

i do other things for instance after a large move figure 50% retrace or 62%..4 entry with sl not so tight with a fib or a horizon line + a few pips.. i use line charts and my horizon lines are on my charts.. i place the lines or at each bend or crick in the movment.. the longer term the chart the more you respect the line area..the bends, cricks or peaks on your charts are actual s/r lines.. they sometimes fibs but not always...pairs will respect these lines... the lines on the longer charts usually get bounced off many times.. a good place to scalp and play ping pong. if your near a long term horizon line it can be a great entry or a sl..+ or - a few pips

I'm not comfortable saying this being that you're about to catch a plane yourself. But since you asked. Plane crash in Buffalo, NY. 44 dead announced at the moment.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm out right now and will go in long if it hits 3130.

Have a good flight.
