ukcool you use oanda?

spread 4 is not bad I use that on smaller accounts eric but larger one it's 2.5 all the wayyy! Rocks, when other brokers are stopping me out at BE and oanda holds on then goes to 50 I want to kiss them
Sim,

Oanda offers 2.5 for GJ?? If so, I must re-consider again by mid-Aug, the new house may serve me a better internet connection!!

PS - any stop hunting suspected? You know I'm playing really short term trade, stop hunting means important to me!!

Cheers mate

I'm off today

Top pretty good resistance (the little pink on top, almost cant see), + slow down at r/n, give it a try. Entry at last red top, seems good, another one, still good, the third one. Set all TP around MA10. Then dont know why there was a sudden drop on all EJ / GU / EU / GJ. Then all TP are hitted.

Purely luck on these 3.

Pip26,

These are the chart on the post you send me.

Just a quick observation.

Your charts look good but IMHO you may be making a big mistake. You are confusing timeframes in that chart. Those lines are connecting unrelated swings. Swings of daily with 240M with 60M and even with a weekly swing. This is a very common mistake I see in most charts here.

If you are going to use channels (I dont) you need to plot for example daily swings in a 240m to have a proper channel. If you want to refine your entry you can plot for example a new chart with 240m swing in a 60 min chart so you can zoom in and define better entries... If you don't know how to draw channels you will end up in a conflicting net of lines, expending more time drawing after the fact lines than trading those levels.

In any case that's only my opinion and I hope the charts help. 240M with daily channels and 60M with 240M channels

sisse

PS: BuildCity Sorry to flood your journal

Here are my H4 charts for EU, EJ, GU......

EU broke below the upper channel but then able to get back in the channel again now is near 1.2900 Resistance break above that level can open the track for 1.3000 again... or rejection of 1.2900 can pull price back to test 1.2750-60 area.

EJ is trying to cross the resistance area holding above that area can support the price to touch 113.00 again which is a strong resistance. Rejection of current level can throw the price back to test 110.70 and maybe new low at 109.50 as price is making lower lows support...

I told you the spread aaaages ago when you said about java probs

Yeah they are 2.5 with no commission! Rocks... no stop hunting lol don't worry about that, just be careful of news etc infact they are better than DUKAS IMO because I often get stopped on dukas due to their crazy variable spread cleaning my stops when oanda doesn't

Hehehe,, well I'm used to a real tight stop with oanda etc, many times it goes to 0.1 pips then goes into profit lol! With a variable spread broker you really gotta give it even more space IMO as whatever side you are on bid or ask, it will keep inflating to catch a higher/lower price.

But yes i do want it clean!!

Another 8 from GJ, but the spread (+comission) to broker did eat my profit!!

Anyway, 34p from 3 trades did meet my daily target, bonus portion thereafter. Times up, back to work.

Hehe, what a thief can do is to catch small profit one by one.

For thr GJ, actually I'm still not familiar with this pair, so cant get much from this, watch it a bit longer could be better
