So i take it no one else just had a spike up near 1.56?

Not a huge trade so i only lost a couple bucks but yeah....
O.o

1.56019 was my high just a couple minutes ago

I'd never really had any trouble with FXCM before now
Heard plenty of horror stories tho

MB metrader charts arent showing a huge spike like that
fxcm is one of the ones I use , no spike here, high of 1.5615 just after the mkt open but no spike to there since

Funny thing, I am really glad that I went with the short over the weekend.

It opened with a small gap up but almost immediately went down and by the time I came home it looked like my trade had boarded the express train. Stop is moved down to + so no matter what this is a good trade and the way it is looking, it will be an excellent trade.

We each follow our own systems and as long as they are profitable they are good. And the short I left open over the weekend on CHF/JPY is also doing fabulously.
There is a difference between speculating and gambling...do you know the difference?

So those always stand?

I mean I'm not going to go around the world for 20 bucks but still that's rather annoying when you're on the other side.

yea. sorry bout your trade. Some already claiming the move earlier to be stop hunts as their stops got triggered.
Could be, but I wouldn't know tbh, I just bought @38 earlier & it shot my way.

I usually avoid trading this time of night on Sunday so maybe that's the difference but I've never seen a spike that differed that much from the other platforms and I've been with FXCM for almost a year.

my nerves omg my a/u stop almost got taken now i swear prb was like 2pips away. i was almost starting to regret my g/u trade, can anyone tell me if my entry was justified?

I took the inside bar there but enterd at 1,5550 rather, by now everyone knows the trend and stuff of g/u so was taking the inside bar dumb or clever??

  • Aug 15, 2010 8:43pm Aug 15, 2010 8:43pm
wait it cant be clever or dumb haha, let me rephrase, was it abit to agressive or justified seeing the amount of support at tht level according to you guys.

enjoy your beauty sleep.

for anyone caught on the wrong side of that, you should talk with the broker. it looks like a feed problem so they should adjust the accounts later.
