(The comparison with Lehman and Greece is very opposing since there is bail-out ready whiles the other got bankrupt.)
I have my doubts about the loan being approved unanimously.

Why would you throw money at any government which by cant get the situation in control in their country? The political situation is well...I am sure we keep track.

sky check out out the usdjpy...classis panic...
WTF??? WOW. Cannot watch all of them at ones today.. Even if I

watched

it's hard to get execution with all those "Off Quotes" BS messages,

as pairs constantly moving.. If I catch UJ below 88 I'd buy it definitely!

Will set Buy limit in case it drops again.. Gonna fish out those guys..

Also on CAD, Employment Data tomorrow 90 min before US, expected to

be good.. Would love to catch that top as well.. Too many plays out

there.. It's like 3 month worth of Pips dropped on the Market in 1 days.

I put a Limit order at 1.2532 from 1.2615 when it made the recent free fall but the platform freezed and didn't respected the number, it closes after 10 minutes 50 pips above. I had to call them and make a report. Let see if they answer promptly.

By the way 1.2532 because I took a look at Fontu's levels in the chart he posted. Thank you Fontu!!

Last months on the 28th I placed 2 live orders buy Eur/usd @ 1.3229 both set to Stop Loss at 1.3229 then I tried to close them at 1.3257 The platform disconnected for about an hour. When It came back it showed both my orders stopped out at 1.3229 but they are -23 pips profit deducted from my account. I asked them to look into this ten days ago and I've heard nothing. AVAFX And all transaction history since last deposit is missing from my account history? Now they might be in the process of sorting this out, but I am not happy. haven't even received...
Well, as traders we do what we can to protect ourselves and equity. So yeah, limit/stop orders does help when a platform dies and writing out your trades/positions should be like a bible and if you do it religiously can be used in court -- assuming it goes that far. Good brokers can have problems with their platform and will research and credit you any monies due, assuming it's their fault.

Now, when it comes to shady brokers like AVA (I've never heard anything good about that broker) all you really can do is to protect yourself as best as possible and at the first sign of trouble, may be time to bail out and look for another broker.

The EJ fell almost 1k pips TODAY (1,500 on the week) before bouncing... Naa, no problems in the good ol' Euro Zone. The Big money sees this situation as a MASSIVE threat.

Like you said some crazy traders in here were talking about what would happen when the Swissy stop losses got hit several weeks back... Now we know first hand, and it's not over.

I wonder if people are using that "oversold" indicator this week? *L*

We finally got our payday from all that propping up. Nice, I think the Swiss have actually helped to make the situation more drastic than if they would have just stayed out from the beginning.

Guess they never learned from the Soros example back in the Uk.

Mine was TS UK... back up now... That is a really bad feeling though... its the first time that ever happened to me!
it happened to me a few times with TS US, once when I had a standard account in 2008, then I had standard and mini in 2009 and at some point standard stopped working and mini still worked

after the 100:1 I stopped using them ... I'm not with MT4 and the only thing I miss about fxcm is a quick closing of your positions
