My trades by Dave

I have just wached fxstreet chart eur/usd move 10 pips and back again while FXCM chart and trade station price never moved. I guess they filter some movement to prevent scalping.
Thats why I am liking fxstreet charts more and more cause there not a broker and have no reason or need to manuplate price movement. Thus giving more accurate MA's.
Thats why the ma's are different from one chart to the next.
Again I suggest using fxstreet charts along with your brokers charts.

eventually I want to pay for a price feed directly from the sorce. Its not cheap either.

3rd dynamic trend line formed on USD/JPY

a break below line labeled 3 is a sell signal. I am in eur trade so cann't take this one but here is the chart on it. The last chart I posted(on previous page in thread) on JPY has 2 of the 3 dynamic trend lines.

So short USD/JPY @ 1.1782
s/l Ideal would be above the last high at 1.1840 so set s/l at maximum that your account size allows. Or what ever you want to risk.

Target:between 1.1750- 1.1737 low on Nov. 4th and hold position if it breaks that level and move s/l to break even. PT: on failer to break 1.1750(2nd dynamic trend line.)

Dave
ok 1.1810 s/l on USD/JPY trade above( just past 61.8 fibo on the move down from the 1.1837 high)

Funny, I had a similartrade without even reading your message.
I got in @ 1.1822, but had the same sl. (-32 pips)
I had better luck with USD/CHF today (+43)

Good job!

Yea I don't think the eur/usd is a good currancy pair to trade. The temptation to trade it is always there because I expect it to start trending but I just cann't get it right now.

I think the usd/jpy or eur/jpy or usd/chf are much better for now.

Even though the usd/jpy trend is up I can still predict and trade a down swing.
I like to trade down swings because of the potential of catching a trend reversal.
Trends are only relitive to the time frame your trading.

I will try to resist the eur/usd trades untill a change in atitude of that pair happens.

good job,

Nice to know some one is making money off eur/usd.

And I appoligise for the lack of trade posts lately. I have been working after hours on some side jobs. The trades I post will probly be few for the time being. The trading income hasn't eliminated the need for extra side work as of yet. Also I just want to observe the market for a couple of weeks and see what attitude it takes.

sorry bout your stop getting hit. I won't post and tell you if I think your trade is wrong direction because I wouldn't want any one to make me second guess myself.
If it were eur/usd based on past 2 weeks a trade against mine would be viable.

If the price don't make it past last low(1.7360 range) then a long might be good idea as close to the low as possible with s/l lower than my previous target(1.7330). And a target of my short entry(1.7420 range).

or possible long entry apon a rise above 1.7410/15, that will be a 7/10 crossover on 4 hr chart.

Congrats on your profit.

Actually I exited at 22:48 EST for a small 5 pip profit because I didn’t like the price action. I should’ve shorted instead.
What a wild price movement in the last several hours.

I'm hesitant about using trailing stops on fxcm platform (I think you’re using fxcm as well).
Used them twice and my stop wasn’t triggered. Instead my stop moved by itself in the wrong direction.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong (placing it to close); I did, argued with fxcm support rep. without any positive result. They said, they don't have any record of any stop being used.
Ever since I’m taking snapshots of every trade with trailing stops for a reference.

thats funny you should mention trailing stop seems to move on it own. I thought it was just me.
I have posted my suspitions of fxcm befor, stop hunting, and filtering price movement.
I origonally made trade w/o a trailing s/l but since the price didn't make the move when I woke up I figured I'd trail the s/l just in case.
One day I'll get away from fxcm.
If you can prove fxcm does crooked stuff I think you can bring action against them.
I haven't researched what the most reliable broker is.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the kind words Jim. Your opinion is well respected here.

Comments on tV is ok, he is on the enternet simply for our amusement....lol
We can all get a good laugh.
I am glad I left dailyfx even though my complaints seem to have brought a moderator there. I have a couple of friends I look in on from time to time there.

Thanks

Dave, you haven't posted a chart for some time. I know you specialize in fiber, but could you please post a 123 chart of cable, if it's not too much trouble.

Thanx
