Ghous,

On the touch play of the EURUSD at 1.2700 (I think the low on my broker it got down to 1.2690), where did you set your stop loss?
Intial stop loss was at 1.267, and moved immediately at BE as the trade went +25 pips in my favor. I think the quick move of SL to BE is one of the fundamental of prinicples of this trading technique, atleast this is what I've been noticing in the short number of trades that i've taken. Lot's of BE's ofcaorse but given the rigor aggressivness of the strategy switching to a free trade as soon as possible IMO is extremely important.

Regards,
Ghous.

This is why there is some confusion if you do not post the "Post #" of the post you are referring to.

Fx Genius,
u are showing 40 posts per page(like mine), that's why. on default, (your) page 563 is actually page 1500.

About to open up a real account, can anyone suggest a good broker? I don't really care about the platform, I just want some place that gives cheap spreads, and is reliable and trustworthy. Any suggestions? thanks

Oanda is who I am with.Pretty good spreads.You can use pretty much any lot size also...good for small accounts.Charting sucks,but I use MT4 for that.

- Soon to have trailing stops, now in demo program.

I would try their "Game" (Demo) program to get familiar with it before opening an account. Esp if you have been using MT4 so far.

I can suggest you Alpari US. I am using Alpari UK for some time now and didn't have any problems. No fill delays ,spread change on news time and almost no down times. MT4 , 2 pips spread on e/u , min deposit 200 USD and microlots ...however i didnt have ocassion to withdraw my funds yet so cant comment on that.

Thanks guys, there really aren't better spreads then that though? (from a legitimate broker of course). I'm looking hard, not finding much better either, have to imagine there is something though! hmmm might come back to Oanda

Hmm ty, will check out Alprai too (got to love that deposit bonus also).

Anyone tried fxclub by chance? Their claim:
Pay just 40 cents / 1,000 currency units traded
Of course there is a fee per trade that depends on your trading volume. The fee is 40 cents for each 1,000 currency units traded. This is so marginal that we make other brokers look marginal. And, again, if you don't profit, you don't pay the fee.
^ scratch that, this platform is just to painful
Hmm

Just as you would expect a ranging market to behave...

In times like these it is best to be as conservative as possible, take the break and on several occasions just like this one you get to save a handful of $$. Hope it did'nt break on your Feed either Ady.

Ghous.
conservative is my middle name... lol
didn't trigger in... although touched 1.6550 and jumped 100 pips as expected. didn't get that either . no PA.
