Sho,

Picture I posted was from demo account. I waited for retrace to .7194, which was in region of 50% pullback. Reduced SL by 6 pips.

This similar setup ocurred in EU and other pairs, but Keltners wern't indicating down trend as strongly as NU.

Is this a trade set up you would take.

Regards

Martin

Hi, all:

For three days, I only had one trade won with +13 pips with real account. keep losing.

I just switched to the demo account, I got +144.5 pips with few trades by shorting EU and GU.

I never played against the trend during last few days. Always short GU and EU, but got stopped out all the time.

I think the only different is that
1. both pairs moving fast now.
2. And I moved the stop loss 20 to 30 pips away while I am playing Demo account.
3. My timing for exit is just perfect while playing demo account.

So, for me:
When to trade/entry + where to place stop loss = Win or lost.

[quote=trade price;3697936]morning guys.
problem with my firefox.trying to post from last few minutes.

to DAVE(sutts).

if u read ROB'S post you will get the idea.why it did not worked.
eventhough resistant above i would have taken the first entry(aggresive play ).in the second one u can see insiude bar break from resistant level so thats a definately short.and u can see break out retested as well to validate .


Thanks for confirming Sho, I should have seen that inside bar.

Sho,

Try and retry, fix and remove the KC from time to time. I think I ready have question on this and would like your suggestion.

See GU M15 today, the pin bar just breaks the support zone (and double top) and the momentum is downward, but the price is far away from the KC even the outer band, should we still go for short by next bar?

I still struggling on whether to put the KC on, without it, I trust I would go for short coz after DB, we would set the TP about same width downward distance.

Your suggestion please.

Hi Tang,

For sharing,

You feel more comfort while trying the demo as there is no presure. But real money is a kind of emotional stuff.

BTW, we always have accept orders from demo but re-quote quite many times in real a/c. I think you should also take these into consideration.

Cheers mate

Yes Sho, I was not focused enough to move to BE.

Still a lot of wok to do.

A newbie question, what does "re-quote many time in real a/c" refers to?

Now, I decide to stop using Demo account unless trying new method or new platform. I will open an real account with Gomarket. Gomarket has micro account which is $0.1/pip. Hardly lose anything with this kind of account.

I have a chat with Go Market about this:

You are now chatting with 'Go Markets'
Go Markets: How may I help you today?
you: I would like to ask about L-plate account
you: Are they real account?
you: with the same real data feed with Regular lot?
Go Markets: yes, correct
you: Do you re-quote my order?
Go Markets: No, no requotes
you: Typically, how fast do you execute a market order?
Go Markets: within a second
you: If I make A$100, does it mean you will lose A$100?
Go Markets: No. We dont take the opposite side to your trades
you: Very good
you: Who is another side?
Go Markets: We simply pass your trades to a hedging partner. You are not trading directly against someone
you: What is typical spread for EU?
Go Markets: 1-pip is around the typical during the liquid times
you: Even with L-plate account?
Go Markets: yes

A Requote is basically when the price of the underlying pair you want to trade is no longer the price when you submitted your trade ticket. Mostly occurs for market orders but can happen with limits and stops. Most systems allow you to specify a range (+/- couple of pips) which authorize execution of trade from original market order price.

In the context of forex brokers, more specifically brokers that are dealing desk/market makers, you are requoted as a means to slow down your trading which gives them a chance to offset your trade. When you trade thru these type of brokers, they take the other side of all your trades; they take an offsetting position in the interbank to cover that trade. Even with computers, sometimes this can take a few seconds, and in this market, that could mean thousands. If your broker feels your trading style does not give him the opportunity to offset, he will put you on requote as a means to slow you down and discourage your type of trading.

Edit: Rob has given you the proper answer when I was typing out this one..... haha, tks Rob (Priceaction)

Hi Tang,

Sorry for my bad english.

My experience with real a/c is that:

- I used to place market order rather than pending order; whatever open and close;

- Especially when the price is moving quick, sometime I really cant get the desired price to sell / buy / close, the broker simply re-quote another nearby price to me (must be worst off compare to what you placed the order, otherwise the broker simply accepts your order); so all I can do is to accpet the re-quoted price or cancel the order and wait for another moment that I find the price is comfortable

- May be it is not the case for all the brokers, but my 2 (under MT4 platform) do the same thing to me. Sometime really annory

- One more thing on demo a/c, since it is for your practice only, no real money involved, so almost all your orders would be accepted coz the machine just assumpts there is another counter part would take your order / or the borker who also palys the role of counter part.

Hope you understand my explanation.

Cheers
City
