There was a better entry point at 14738 but I missed it.
Good morning everyone,

I was lucky enough to enter short at 31 (manually) when I saw the price moving. And lucky enough to see hesitation at 11 and close the trade. +20 to start the day. Come on Rafa!

Sure. If you pull up the SL, it has to be at least to BE in first instance, in my opinion. Otherwise, put it above/under the next FCR recognised, so you don't get caught in a hiccup.

Igindex only lets you get to 11 pips from the current price so I should have acted earlier to do just that - ragged trade in the end - no finesse at all. Living and learning...

Should GBP Halifax HPI m/m, due in 10 minutes, be considered an announcement to be wary of?

Hi John,

You should consider only those EUR or USD related anouncements....

Apart from that, many of these shouldn't make you change your mind about to get involve or not into a deal, only those very big ones....

Anyways, PA is gonna show you if it is affected or not by the news.....

Hope it helps you....

One of the reasons why I moved from Ig Index. The other one is spreads. I tried to send you a PM about this but apparently you have this feature switched off.

Trading — Order Types Order Types

Client terminal allows to prepare requests and request the broker for execution of trading operations. Moreover, terminal allows to control and manage open positions. For these purposes, several types of trading orders are used. Order is a client's commitment to brokerage company to perform a trade operation. The following orders are used in the terminal: Market order, Pending order, Stop Loss and Take Profit.

 

  1. Market Order
    Market order is a commitment to the brokerage company to buy or sell a security at the current price. Execution of this order results in opening of a trade position. Securities are bought at ASK price and sold at BID price. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders (described below) can be attached to a market order. Execution mode of market orders depends on security traded.
  2. Pending Order
    Pending order is the client's commitment to the brokerage company to buy or sell a security at a pre-defined price in the future. This type of orders is used for opening of a trade position provided the future quotes reach the pre-defined level. There are four types of pending orders available in the terminal:

     

    1. Buy Limit — buy provided the future "ASK" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is higher than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having fallen to a certain level, will increase;
    2. Buy Stop — buy provided the future "ASK" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is lower than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a certain level, will keep on increasing;
    3. Sell Limit — sell provided the future "BID" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is lower than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having increased to a certain level, will fall;
    4. Sell Stop — sell provided the future "BID" price is equal to the pre-defined value. The current price level is higher than the value of the placed order. Orders of this type are usually placed in anticipation of that the security price, having reached a certain level, will keep on falling.

There's a really good post on this thread about the difference between a Stop order and a Limit order and when they should be placed - I can't find it - anyone know the one I mean? Where is it?

do you mean this ?: I copied it on my PC

scenario :

1) If you want to buy and price is below the desired entry point then use Buy Stop
2) If you want to buy and price is above the desired entry point then use Buy Limit

Sell scenario :

3) If you want to sell and current price is above the desired entry point then use Sell Stop
4) If you want to sell and current price is below the desired entry point then use Sell Limit
