Ryan,

I trade with Oanda but use ODL for my charts... do you trade solely with Oanda's platform (3hr)... if yes... tell me how you like it.

Thanks

I have been happy with them, I used to trade just DBFX due to having a broker account but now Oanda is pretty good even if you are doing 6 million units I dont have problems getting filled. One thing is after leaving it up for a few days it seems to lock up and you have to log back in but thats no biggie unless you are doing the 5min deal then it's more of a problem. Also DBFX is good but I really like the Oanda interface the best.
Keep taking CT trades, I need more money

Ryan,

Yes, I have also been trading with them for a few years and have not encountered many problems...yes it will lock if left unattended for long periods... So do you trade the 3hr pin instead of the 4hr... I have been considering doing just that to keep things even simpler.

hi Ryan, 6 mil units! thats over 400 eu a pip!.. i dont know if i have that much sweat! lol i hate it when it locks up also as it always seems to act a lttle strange when i unlock it. now i just close the platform and reopen it when im back. i like the TSL also but it is about time they had some more order types if you ask me!
Ryan/Moneda(got any spare?? venga hombre! lol) have you ever used the box option??

im not him but i have had success trading the 3h bars.you can sometimes get a better entry than the 4h setups or sometimes get a trigger bar which you dont get on the 4h chart.
jon

their daily close is 12am est. i like using fxpro for charting, their daily close is 5pm est., plus you get indices & crude.

I do the 4hr and use FxPro for now, I just had the 3hr up because they dont have a 4hr or at least I dont know how to see it

Afternoon supreme-chaos,

Could you please confirm my PPZ levels are accurate for my EURCAD post below.

I have been working extra hard of late to pick up PPZ and s/r levels
(enough of buying in resistence and selling into support!!!)

Id like an outside opinion, if you wouldn't mind.

thanks
richard

Hi,

My chart below shows a 4 hour pin that developed at the 8575 daily PPZ. The subsequent bar has gone almost (short by 1 pip) to the high of the pin. Is this a valid pin once the price has retraced so far? My understanding is that ideally the right eye high will not exceed the left high eye.

Any clarification would be much appreciated.

Matt

Not trying to be a ass here but I see lots of charts of just crap, if you are new to this just stick with GOOD PB's. Don't try to force some crap trade. Find a good PB with divergence and at a swing high/low and enjoy the cash.

Also to you guys trying to trade like Razor or Jaroo and have not traded before DON'T, it seems like most of the people trying to play these trades have no idea what is going on and are just going to blow up, I have been doing this for a while and I just do the PB's because it's easy and the money is good and it works so why change it? Can you trade like them, sure in time but learn the basics 1st.

Hi Matt,

Ryan made a mighty good post on this.

As a newbie you should just stick to the A+ ones. The ones that will clearly jump out at you, the really long ones at swing highs and lows just as Ryan mentioned.

What you took was not an invalid pin bar but was far far away from the ones you should be taking. Leave the advanced stuff (mastering less than A+ setups) for the right time, and that time will come...believe me it will...

Regards,
Ghous.

Not sure where you are coming from Ryan - I am just trying to clarify a point that I can't see covered elsewhere.

Thanks Ghous. I didn't take the bar as it has not broken the low of the pin but I was just trying to clarify a point that I was uncertain about.

I guess that I will learn from my own experience and not bother the forum with questions in the future.

Thanks for your help Ghous
