Well Archer, I got a response to my Friday's email this morning, they told me to exit the platform and clear my cache. I did this and both spikes disappeared, but I wonder if I have had an open trade and gotten SLed what would happen then.

it sounds like they are trying to sidestep your first question.....i would keep calling them and demand an explanation for the spikes....you need an explanation for what caused the spikes, not how to "make them disappear on your platform"....thats exactly what they want.

Im not really saying its a handicap, they are just a different breed than retail traders, and their methods are different. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
and like you said a bit earlier, "we just dont have the tools and information they have access to."

Their answer to both spikes was "problems with charts data". I just wrote another email asking "what if".

same thoughts ...

Did u ask them to clarify the above doubts ?

why did the spikes happen in the first place , when other platforms don't show such spikes ?

Their main advantage is timely information, we will get that information too, but after it affected the P.A. Who's buying, who's selling, etc.

Your right. Minutes, even seconds, can mean everything.

Being the end of the month, isn't it normal to see a little yen strength today when the Japanese companies buy yen to send their money "home"? I guess this could be a good spot to go long for tomorrow?

What do you guys think??

BTW...I love that this thread has become so active!!

yes , noted the low volume ... hence waiting for a breakout (if any ) of the pennant downwards with volume ... if it comes before i hit the sack ,say,in half an hour ... if not, close the laptop and go to sleep .

sigh .....

Not quite sure what you mean. 84.08 is the daily S1 for today

Good luck for your trade though.....I'm sitting out of this pair for the time being

yesterday was a nice drop. I have a pending buy at 83.82. What's your take on it?

I'm waiting for the FOMC Meeting Minutes to take the pair again. Right now I see it ranging 84.00-84-70.
