Oanda - Saved Profiles

Probably an easy question that I have:

Are the chart settings that I save as a Profile stored server-side and viewable by Oanda?

Thanks!
Brent

yes

Ah! Good to know. Thanks, Johto.

A follow-up question if I may:

As long as I don't store the Profile they can't see my setup, right?

Dunno. Why would you be "paranoid" them seeing your profile? Seeing your default stop loss and take profit? I have never even think about it that way. Would make me way too paranoid to even trade. If they "really" wanted to know your settings(hunting stop loss of a single trader) they would not need to even read your "profile". Dont be so paranoid

stop hunting the little retail trader is a myth. Why would they want to move their whole market only to kill the $200 stoploss of Joe Sixpack and nobody else? What is with all the takeprofits and pending limit entries of all the other lucky traders that would be filled during this stop-hunt?

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Okay, I'll relax and trust the brokers (not).

Hey Surfer...

what are you trying to hide there?

(Just as soon as I have something that's really worth hiding you guys will be the first to know!)

Hey Surfer...

on the other thread you wrote ...

"For the most part, I don't draw them (or anything else) at all.
Just monitor the trading activity around large Evens for S/R."

do you wanna give us more information?

just curious, what time frame are you using ?

Thanks.

Hello FSV!

There's not much to say I guess. Larger prices (i.e. less fractional) are where there is larger interest from a wider range of market participants and potential for more substantial activity. They make for better starting and ending points for trades. As for TF's since there are no indies or even hand-drawn lines - and therefore no fixed "period" parameters - zooming in or out with the chart doesn't really matter much. Just depends on how closely you feel like trying to time your entry, hold the trade and time your exit. You're just looking for the presence and absence of buying and selling at different prices so defining the time element precisely, like you need to with indicator based trading, isn't really a big thing.

That's about it. My own trading is still very spotty and will take much time, in all likelihood, to be consistently profitable - so I don't really want to rant on like I know much of anything. Actually, without trying to sound too self-effacing, I wish that I didn't have any wisdom vouches - really completely meaningless, those things. Really bad when you're trying to rid yourself of ego-based trading issues.

That's really all from me!

Best regards to you,
Brent

Thanks Surfer !
