I would say in defence of the bucket shops that you guys play in thin markets to a surprising extent ... and are then surprised by the results. You really shouldn't be.

BR, I would be surprised if they ran individuals stops ... but given that everyone's stops sit on their computer ... the programming to extend the spread at critical points would be easy to write

11508 - 11547 looks like a nice level to watch out for.
Watched PA closely as momentum was strong price reversed off a 4hr level in the middle of my range that I was largely ignoring.

Correlated well with BRV's 13127 EURUSD which has turned out to be a better trade but I am +25 with a stop at b/e so I'm happy and safe.

JPM qtr results just announced will boost stock futures and these positions hopefully.

Appreaciate your thoughts there. Funny you mention brokers stop hunting, I went short the eurchf yesterday at 1.5115 and placed an oco stop at 1.5130 and limit at 1.4985. I left my computer for a minute and when I came back price had dropped in my direction but I was stopped out. Price had got nowhere near my stop.

The first chart shows the bid price. The second shows the offer at that time quoted through my broker.

I am currently looking for a new broker, as this is obvious stop hunting. The broker was CMC Markets (Australia).

Now at one of three support levels where it could stall so best take some money off the table now.

Would like to see 11449 or even 11423 at full extension in this channel.

Yeah bid/ask manipulation can be a whole 'nother story, and unfortuntely most of these guys say right in their disclaimers that they reserve the right to do as they please in terms of this....but who knows; could have just been bad luck. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in my book, unless they look like clear cut crap garbage right off the bat . More and more investment banks are offering retail services, like Deutsche, Citi, etc, and there are some good ECN's out there. Would always recommend those.
Hi
I keep a DEMO with the same broker and trade the same trade on the DEMO just to see what does price on both charts.
in this case you can see if you get targeted!
just an idea.

Anyone know how to get metatrader to show lines at the 00 big figures and to seperate the days 00:00 GMT? The grid setting is just plain nasty, can it be customised?

The Euro has been nice today. We should get together at the start of every session and outline the no brainer S&R lines together. For example 3226 & 3126 today as there were obvious enough and would of paid had one traded them.

I did post up BillyRays Twitter of 13127.

In general that has been the principle of this thread but it has had a lack of support in recent months from experienced regulars.

Try F8 - common - period seperators...
Assuming your Broker is GMT.

Excellent thread here, I passed over it a few times between Jacko and James16 (great threads also), thought it was a signal type thread. Now ive had a good look at the 1st post, strategy blog and pdf and think this is the way I want to trade. I have a week off work next week and would be willing to try and get through a big chunk of this thread. Is it a good idea to do that or is the pdf and post #1 enough? Thanks to Billy for sharing this.

There is a indicator galled Grid v1 that draws h-lines and v-lines based on your parameters, its on FF somewhere.

There's some good info throughout the thread, plus of course great examples and charts, but I think the blog and pdf do a good job summing everything up. Of course if you have the time, there are a lot of good conversations and discussions throughout the thread, so it wouldn't hurt to skim through it.
