It happens. I had an existing long trade knocked out by that dip spike and cost me a lot of pips. You won't find me complaining about brokers, though. Without them we wouldn't be able to trade at all.

If you are sure they have made a mistake just send a polite email asking for an explanation. I'm sure they'll be ok.

Im a bit paranoid about them price manipulating to run in stops etc - I thought brokers made money via comission and spreads but Ive learnt the diffferent models they have of significantly increasing their profits my running stops and margin calls etc - I hope thre are some really decent honest ones though too - we cant do without them I agree.

This is quite a common complaint. It's happened to me a couple of times and I've known others who have had similar experiences. Now I don't programme in stop losses anymore (unless absolutely necessary like if I have trades open overnight) which has its drawbacks.

Little update.

My original short from 5150 was trailed to +50 and stopped during the mark-up in price going into london.

Here is a quick chart. Price broke 5150 but did not close above and produced a nice shooting star doji, yet another bearish candle from this level. 4-hr chart produced a nice candle as well. A trendline was broken as well.

I am looking at it going to 1.49 - 1.50 region conservatively. Then I'll probably take a long position and wait for it to try 1.53. Thoughts anyone?

Hmm. I know we are to expect dollar weakness but pound weakness is also pretty certain. Government bonds secured by fresh money off the printing press? Cable is showing a double top. Basically a rejection of the 1.5 area. My chart here http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...stcount=131424 shows my initial target. It could go much lower IMHO.

A retracement to 5070/80 is my plan to take a short. This is 38.2/50% of the current move plus in the region of resistance and a broken trendline.

If it breaks then we could probably see 4830/50.

I know what you mean. But sentiments are positive at the moment. The market is jumping on all the good news and equities are doing well still. I'll wait and see what the price action is like.

I very much respect your analysis but didn't we already retest the trendline? On the hourly? Thanks for your attention to this.
