Hello folks.

I got my opinion but what are people's outlook on the daily and weekly trend?

On the grand scale of things, I believe this is a mini-rally. I'm holding on to my short (and my f@#king hat).

i set orders to reshort au @ 8375......closed trading station. I come back to find that the orders had just magically disappeared. So i entered manually....I hope an fxcm representative reads this post....after this happening, im moving my acct to dukascopy tomorrow.

FXCM screwed me so many times I had to change. I decided to go with FXDD a year ago and like them.

Is dukascopy really that great? I hear everywhere that is serious and stuff, I guess I'm so happy with Oanda that haven't had the need for looking for something else. But I wonder...
dukascopy is the best thing out there, aside from trading with an account with an investment bank like DB UBS JPM CS ABN BNP.......they have the largest liquidity known and can practically fill any order as long as liquidity is available in the market. If you had enough cash, they could literally fill a 200 million order. All their account have the same price feed whether your trading retail or instituional with them. You can see market depth as well and sizes of orders at specific prices....they have segregated accounts too, i think if you have 250k you have a numbered swiss account to go with ur trading account that allows daily netting of PL. They dont pull and bs like execution delays, orders not being filled, disappearing orders, platform freezes. theyre a legit broker and i think they are in the process of acquiring a swiss banking liscense.

setting double top entry and doing the deed.. later
same here, really wanted to wait until the 4hr 50ema closer up a'rd 2090ish was nudged, but that may be too late. shorting now at 2050 (psych level) with medium tight stop and will add on the way down if it goes that way. otherwise take the little hit now and heavy up later on when it gets there.

this trade feels a little hinky, but one can't have everything... this'll do for now

I've come to realize in this business it's not only you versus the market. It's you versus your broker too. Or you could argue that your broker is also part of the market.

You have to be on top of your orders. It's really not that hard if you're organized or have a recording system. Keep a log of any instant or pending order you make (time placed, lot size, entry price, exit price, exit time, pips won, profit/loss, new balance). The log can be on a spreadsheet on your computer or a physical log book. If you do so on your computer, make sure you back it up on another system (or extrenal drive, jump drive, etc.). Your log may not be enough proof so make sure you make a record or copy of everything... save your order history report to your computer. Save screenshots. Most important, keep track of your balance after each trade.

Also, call and ask if there ever is any doubt. At worse, they can mark you down as one who is on top of things. Perhaps that will prevent them from trying more funny stuff then they normally would since they know you track things.

You're doing the right thing in changing brokers after something like that. Let them know it too. And tell them you're going to tell everyone you know. F**k'em.

Gonna give it 15 more minutes to see if she gets up over the 2050. If not, I'll limp in also. I'm really hoping for 2090-2100 also though.

They probably are the best right now. But a company is only as good as the people who run them, so always keep tabs.
