Strange part was the bid dropped 20 pips, but the ask wouldn't move. Then the ask spiked up and took me out several pips beyond my SL for a loss. The SL was set for a small profit.
Stoploss means you get the next executable Price after yoür SL hit.

That could be 30 or a lot more Pips beyond your Stoploss in fast moving markets.

Those spikes are not an my charts. Lousy broker !

QE2 would boost the Euro and stomp the dollar, Dow and S&P would rally, etc....it would be 2009 all over again - but probably smaller due to diminishing returns....
absolutely. i agree 100 percent here PV. hope all is well with ya

WTF

If you lost money you should talk with your broker.

You should open a Demo at Oanda only to compare charts.

I had bad expierience with Alpari - similar spikes out of the sudden.

Most of these MT4 brokers are full of ...Probably they know your EA better than you if you run a system.

does ibfx have floating or fixed spread?

ibfx... big spikes, fxsolutions... nothing.

ibfx customer support says they are investigating if it was a bad tick in their feed or a legitimate price.

lowest on EU was 1.26582 BID and somewhere a'rd 1.2675x ASK.

The weird action lasted a'rd 3 minutes on my chart, with the ASK saying normal a'rd 1.2658x for the first 2 minutes and the bizarre maximum spread of nearly 40-43 pips lasting thru the final minute before things returned to normal.

My stop at 26840 was NOT hit (but not by much) and my 5 pip TP at 26450 was not hit either as the ASK stayed well above it.

Those are facts that I documented with screen shots. At this point, IBFX is investigating, and that's all they'll say for now...

I do know that if you have a live trade that got taken out negative by something like this and your first action is to get on the thread before taking screen shots and getting your facts together, then Doom on you...

This is the last place you come to, if at all. A couple of screen shots can make for a short phone call and accomplish far more...

On a conspiracy theory note... the last few times I've seen this with a IBFX and a couple other borkers, it often precipitated a significant move in the opposite direction a little while later. In this case I would anticpate it to be bullish, EXCEPT except for the fact that the ASK also took out stops above the median price. Curious...

Agreed! I am not out enough to be concerned (or go through the aggrivation) in this case. But the screen shot of the order window says it all. Once that scrolls out of sight, I don't think you can get it back, unless you know a way..

what affect do you think QE2 will have on the eur/usd? And what if it is announced, but can not be initiated until OCT?

thx

Friday will definetly set a direction for the markets......if fed announces QE2 to start immediately, it will certainly devalue the dollar. If they say they wont start it till sept/oct, markets will sell off till it starts. If they say they aren't implementing QE2 and they need to monitor markets more, markets will really sell off.....

ak4x,
I just tried to capture the order window (like you showed) using print, print screen, etc, but can't get it done. How did you do it.
Thanks.

Here is what it looked like on my live OANDA account, my charts are on mountain time 1 hour behind NY and mine never went below 1.653. You need a better broker.

Hey guys,

EURUSD very flat. The Doubt Persists. Price still Below TLDW Major, so we still in a Downtrend in medium and long term. But until we stay above 1,2615/20 we are in a Uptrend minor. The question still the same... UP or DOWN, i still prefer the DOWN and a journey into 1,25XX and than 1,24XX region... but BULLs are in the GAME

What you think ?!?

Blue trades to all

just saw this, i had a rough stretch from the end of may until mid july actually. I gave up quite a bit of my profits from the previous 6 months. lost a little confidence but have been doing better since, had to cut my order sizes down a lot though and it was tough to swallow. now that i'm back to smaller lot sizes it's actually easier for me though so I'm just back to building slowly and 3-4 pairs

Watching closely, further bad news from U.S. could resume the uptrend. IMHO. Tomorrow and Friday will decide.
