But which is really, really, really scamming me. FXDD 10 PIP SPREAD WHA!!!! Gain 4 PIP Spread. bid/ask on both are completely different
what is scamming you is your experiences

lets see ... NO liquidity this time of day and even though eu moves about 600 pip in normal volume conditions , when spreads are low you have to be active in a none active market and then wonder why your brokers spreads are all over the place.

It is not your broker that is at fault here .. it is your trading habits.

LOL! It sure is entertaining to see the folks still shorting this thread. Some must have gotten in at the bottom. The price spike at the bottom of EUR is classic reversal pattern. Plus the 110B Bailout over the weekend. Are you guys smokin CRACK? Wake up! This biatch is gonna boil over and steam upward....

Its called Intrinsic Value.....grow some huevos...cut yer losses, go LLLOOONNGGG!
LOL, keep ur longs..if we get above 2940...then I'm out with +10 now..


I must also add that I lost 50 pips already though hanging on to a crappy short from eariler.

do you think they are that thick

do you think that the 800 pip down move last week was not used to theri advantage

and do you not think that the 1000 pip move off 1.2500 we will see back to 1.3500 is not used to their advantage

they hold the cards and play them ... we as retail traders just have to keep up with their moves by looking for their footprints in the charts

do not be surprised to see eu back at 1.3500 this week ... or down at 1.2000. I am favoring the up move to be honest but am way to busy with ES totrade anything else right...

you should stop posting, I hate to see things like this!!! when did it move 600 pips in the US session?

since nov.. what was the biggest retrace?
Yes - around 430 pips. But I'm cautious due to the media blitz. Shorts from above still running though.....

Yep, reversal is not as same as retracement. needs much more then 400 pip to call it a reversal

As a broker once told me flatly..."It doesn't matter what the prices are in the ret of the market, you are trading on our prices"..lol I just had cable margined out at 1.48831???
you see I have had this argument time and time again .

Most retail brokers open later than actual banks feeds

My high price printed on GU today has been 1.4892 on esignals 200 source gtis feed.

You must know your broker does not open till after the bank feeds start and therefore your risk is higher by having a weekend trade open .

To me a possible reversal signal is a 3 sessions high/low taken, and closing above that.
This would be 1.2996 for EURUSD.

Sticking with the trend is what makes money, and you'll need to take a small hit when it reverses, it's just a cost of doing business imho.

You'll have to take the loss on the trade that will invalidate the trend, because you can't know when the trend will reverse.

But it's just me...

Please dont judge my trading habits. It was a question. I dont usually go to different brokers. I have a reason for why I am with 2 different ones. Thanks for your attempt though. We all learn to trade through our experiences. So if you want to talk about how I trade, throw some of your pointers instead of having a negative tone about my trading. I have specific way's I trade. You do not know my trades, why I trade them and how i trade them so your understanding of me only understands what you see not what you don't know about me.

Hiya Malcolm.....I try to close all trades before the weekend,but sometimes it's unavoidable so a trade has to stay over the weekend. It's never really been an issue though. For instance, if I have (say) a long open and the PA gaps higher than my pre-set TP, the trade closes at my TP. So, really, for me, there isn't an issue with leaving trades open over the weekend, although I do try to not do that.....

you should stop posting, I hate to see things like this!!! when did it move 600 pips in the US session?
I trade same lot size to get same move
in other words 1 standard fx is $100 per pip . That is 2 contracts es at $100 per point , so I need 60 points of movement . Until last week the 21atr if es was about 15 ... or equated to way I am trading it 150 pip one way , including retraces about 20 points movement (200 pip)

since wed we have picked up to about 120 points of movement per day ...or 1200 pip

I like the way es moves in very predefined buy sell area , normally off the 00's

Fridays 5 min
down 40 , up 30 , down 10 up 25 , down 25 ...130 points

last wed day before odd action
up 27 up 20 down , 47 points

these are just the major moves , the actual moves were higher

can I keep posting now ?

ps i did not say i catch all these moves either. I look for 10 to 15 points a day is all.
