The US is in much worse shape than people want to acknowledge, including our President Obama. His Bamanomics is failing and spinning out of control. I'm just sorry that I live here at the moment.
Hey Mate if you ever want to trade the UK session at a decent hour I have a spare room, I even have spre rooms for your kids we could trade in the morning and hit the golf course in the afternoon.

Here is a thought

All i have heard on CNBC today are talking heads calling for another stimulis package! I think the stock market guys are scared to death it is going to take a dive.

What do they say...."it is better to trade against the heard!"

I jumped on the up-town bus with u guys!
Welcome aboard! Now, let's just hope this is the right seat.

I'll be leaving in 10m and won't look at this position again til around 8pm EST when my next h4 closes. Either TP's hit or SL.

I'm in total amazement and shock that the American people have been so hoodwinked by this moron in the white house. He's taken this country from capitalism to fascism in only 6 months. It's a total catastrophe!

The really sad part is, I don't see anyone that's capable of beating him in the next election because the public has no clue what's really going on.

Hi everyone, just a quick query, don`t know if any of you can help. Am in discussion with IG Index at moment as I set an order to open at 161.50 this morning before leaving for work, with a TP of 162.15. Thanks for the hint in your post last night EO! I am unable to access IG from work but can keep an eye on charts and prices and according to all those I`ve seen the price dropped to 161.44 at 09.30 to 09.45 British Summertime this morning. Even taking into account their spread I feel that my trade should have opened but cannot confirm this as I could not access their site. The order did kick in eventually at about 3pm and when I got home I was lucky enough to be able to close at 161.77 for 27 pips but feel a bit aggrieved that the earlier more profitable trade didnt occur. They say their price didnt get to 16150 at that time. anyone assist with their prices from that time?, think I may just have to take one up the derriere from them here! Keep up the good advice and banter everyone, my best read of the day, every day

My platform didn't hit 6150 during London either. I had a TP set there and it missed it by 3 pips.

The first stimulus package was a total failure. We spent 800 billion that we didn't have. Now we're calling for another stimulus bill.

It didn't work the first time, so let's try it again. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

At the Tools on your IG platform, open Real-time Charts (you need java for this). With this chart you are going to add 1.5 pip for buy and minus 1.5 pip at the low value for sell, that would get you the actual price at whatever time on the candle that you are going to look at. If your candle's low plus 1.5 pip do not reach 16150 (16149.5 + 1.5 = 16151) then your trigger is never been pulled. It happened to me before sometimes ago, when the other charting software shows my trigger has been pull, but the data feed IG used was a pip away.

Hope this can help you tracing it up.
Many happy pips returned ...

I did have a look at IG's feed, on the chart it shows 16149.5, if you need to sell it means the lowest value was at 16151, it was 1 pip away from your TP what a pity.
