would you consider 88 for the 1st target ?
maybe as a spot to move my S/L down a bit (not to b/e, that's too close). I was considering 87.25 as a more important area. Also weekly PPZ's of 86.50, 85.40, and if I really caught a runner - 84.30

Oh Boy.

That was running into any and every possible obstruction you could think of.

9000 round number ppz

50 fib

150 ema

365 ema

you name it...

Now that you've made it through I hope it's already a free trade, you can't let those hurt you.

There was a nice daily pin on USDLTD around the 2.4 level and a break this morning, however haven't yet managed to take a profit on this given the 40 pip spread!!!

Anyone got any ideas how I should play these pairs, or should I stay clear of these altogether?


Stef
I don't mean to sound too direct or harsh, but why would you trade anything with a 40 pip spread? Unless you are playing monthly bars perhaps I wouldn't want to be in a position where 40 pips are needed (in my favor) just to break-even on a trade.

If you are demoing just for amusement have at it, but to me this is like rolling one die against an opponent with three dice and hoping you get the largest number. It could happen but you are at a heavy disadvantage.....

Play a scratch off lottery ticket instead.....ha ha

You've got a point. Although its looking like I'm going to get my 50 pips profit target, I experienced a drawdown (including spread) of around 80 ..... don't like the R:R on that!

I am not saying it is impossible to get pips or a profit, I am just stating over the long run with those odds it won't be pretty to your capital.

Honestly, I mean this in a positive way!

usually the spreads are in proportion to the volatility of the pair in which case spreads don't matter muc. (look at gold for example)

If that's not the case and as you say you see your target only 50 pips away then I agree with Dobe it's futile to trade that exotic.

Yeah it went very smooth. My last 6 trades have really made my account grow nicely. Even without my normal risk. Now let's see that Sterling move on down to 1.51!

I agree with you that this has more potential. I wanted to bank profits and see if I could get back in long at a better price later. This pair is so darn choppy. Best of luck to you!
