Budget was great, short term Gilts down FTSE up 48135 was a very easy one to call and trade. I called 4785 an hour ago and 48135 shortly thereafter, a lovely 90 pip trade. I am flat cable now eyes on 4837.
Hmm... ok thanks... guess it pays to listen to the news sometimes...

Just for fun, I predict another -wacked out- movement +/- 5 minutes of the hourly bar. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, or read about 5 pages here where it has been discussed ad nauseum. Some of us here actually make quite a bit of effort in adding to the discussion with pertinent and valid posts. It would do you no harm reading a few back pages when you get on here and not post immediately "why are we going up". Put a little effort in your trading research and you may actually survive in the shark pond.

Dollar should go up then. This may keep us from 4837

Touched lower TL after budget was released... Current H1 candle moving down after Home sales worse than consensus estimates..

Keeping my short open.

Notice you use DBFX Tradestation, be mindful that it is actually run by FXCM TS and DBFX adds a haircut to the trades, you are probably better of getting an account with FXCM directly and save yourself a bit on each trade, also less latency.

I trade with DBFX, among others, but will not use their trade station platform and FXCM TS feed, and my spreads are a lot less then yours. Ping their server and you will end up at FXCM, my FXCM AT account gives me 0.9 right now on Cable, so no matter how you spin it you are being ripped off.

I've noticed those who have been on the board more than a couple of years to give excellent advice.

Don't believe me, do your research. And if you don't mind paying 1 pip more for each time you open and close a trade by trading on DBFX TS, I don't care it is your money you are pissing away not mine, I refuse to pay more then 1 pip spread for Cable and 0.4 for Fibre.

That is right but I think it is some sort of Licensing arrangement and the haircut is not "big" considering other factors !

Cloggie,

FXCM's website states their typical spread for G/U is 3 and for E/U it is 2.3. How do you get such low spreads?
