Mercy,

Yep, no gaps whatsoever on oanda. there will be times of course where they do maintenance on the platform or whatever and then you can't trade(but this has happened once or twice in I'd say the last 6 months) and it was after hours and they sent an email letting you know it was gonna happen.

It is to your advantage though to know that the gap may close/is closing before a lot of people even see it's there..
nope, check yesterday night messages, yesterday there was some issue for half of hour aprox. no trades could be executed. twice per month they have issues with server. any way, they are ok, work with them since 2004.
No crystal ball. I read the cards.

FXCM is screwing me bigtime.. If I ever get enough money to matter I will be taking it out if that account.. Getting screwed about 5 pips with every trade .. watching spreads like a hawk during exectution.. those guys suck..
They suck big time.. Ones I wait like 20 minutes to execute the trade..

How they stay in the Biz.? Don't know.. I leave them while ago.

Holla - danke für die Trade Idea No.3 - okay - let's see if market will give us something like 2944 or even higher later.

It does not look so to me at the moment. But - why not. I fear - we have seen it's best already - when market stalled near 1.31 zone.

Ohhh boy.. well.. the good news is you went from 2k to 28k.. that's huge..

might be huge, but overall still down. only thing is i don't use mm thats why i blew so much money. now gonna risk only 20 to 50% at any 1 time.

lol, i gotta laugh man. it's funny to just see someone jump in and say they're risking what we all wanna risk but don't. i stick to 1-2 percent but there have been times i was "so sure" lol and the money "just ain't worth it unless it's X amount"

really? It's web based...that's weird. as long as my internet works, oanda comes up on every computer I use...

Do you use the shortcut or go to the website everytime?

edit: i should have gone short on GU

both. web or FX DESKTOP java that is faster and also no restriction on hedge when you can open a sub-account

Yep.. I didn't notice a change in my trading until I started really managing money and not being greedy.. actually.. the greed part is still holding me down.. in a big way.. I'm getting there though.. Over all a better trader every month..

If you value your account, you don't want to risk more than 5%.. I don't value mine that much.. so I risk about 10-15%...

i believe u, really i do. but my broker only offer a full lot or mini which is 10% of a lot. so 1k can't even trade with 2-5% mm

Let me get this straight.....you're willing to risk 50% of your account on a single trade?

i got in on last week, was abit stupit i admit. now have to rebuild my account. this is the (lost count) time i blew a account. only thing is i'm still in the trade with 1 lot. so at least there is something left.

btw, anyone using AVA? used it before, but keep blowing up any amount i put in, seems ill fated to me. IBFX also blew some account. now using a local broker, but its system sucks, price is slower then market when there's action and hard to place order when price move fast
Try Dukascopy. www.dukascopy.com
The spread is decent and minimum to open is USD 1K.

And I agree with you, the local brokers suck, so dont use them.

p.s. I hope you are not Marcus? I know someone with around the same equity as you and using a local broker.

Haven't posted much latley. I have been trading longer term. Closed most of my UJ and EU shorts on the big drop. Still have 2 lots EU short. It is hard to see much sentiment for a big rise in Euro right now... but that is usually when things turn around. Holding last 2 lots for a potential big breakdown towards the 1.20-1.22 level over the comming weeks. Same scenario for UJ trade. All remaining trades have stops moved to BE. Good luck and good trades to all.....

Regards,

ja ja eigene selber schuld heheh was the same for me had a very good weekend and a little to hungover to trade Sunday night. You cant do it all party like an animal and trade straight away after. Anyway you know my style I take a little every day and I am happy with this.
I hope that Asia doesnt take the fun away again as I prever to sleep at night, there are a lot of news from China so it could happen.
ooh keep 2810 on your radar should this break we go easy down to 2770 (gap closed then).
This gap rubbish on saxo you only have the gap on a 5min and lower tf's

Last week was really bad in regards to FXCM they really upset a lot of clients and not sure why but it aint be good for them. Saxo is still gr8 but I always want to have 2 brokers (redundancy) etc. opened a demo account with dukascopy and looks good. I prefer to keep my monies in Europe hahahhaa and the swiss are normally trustworthy.
Anway will take it easy now have alarms in place cya
