Will check out that thread this weekend after a few beer...

Have a great weekend.
Here is the complete version on why I am bearish on EG. The reason was price breakout the weekly wedge.. and I shorted at this area is because the engulf candles at about the 38% fibo levels on daily.

BOJ intervention or any bad news of JPY effect only Yen crosses not Gu,EU or AU usually when Uj goes up GU and EU goes down coz dollar is getting stronger in Interventions..

Be careful with this advice as it's not necessarily true.

Firstly, USD/JPY generally moves in the opposite direction of GBP/USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD, etc. during normal market conditions. That's obvious.

However, BoJ intervening in the currency market is not normal market conditions. When this happens, you'll generally see no reaction by USD denominated pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc) and they'll continue doing whatever they were doing before the intervention. So basically, just because USD/JPY is headed higher on intervention, GBP/USD will not necessarily be inversely correlated at this time.

Furthermore (and what we saw last week), GBP/USD, EUR/USD, etc may go up during/after the initial BoJ intervention.

Why?

Well, our good ol' friends in Japan need to buy a bunch of USD in order to weaken their Yen. This means they accumulate a bunch of USD and perhaps they don't want all that USD. What do they do? They buy EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc in order to diversify some of those USD holdings into Euros and Pounds, etc.

So, in summary... expect GBP/USD to be unaffected by BoJ intervention and if anything, it may get a bid tone as Japan diversifies their USD purchases to other currencies.

Hope that helps.

Cloggs, reckon I should contact FXCM just to find out?

Been with fxcm for a couple of years. Call it what you want but they can move their spread up and down like a wild rabbit. If your stop or limit was triggered within a pip or two it was probably a move in the spread that caused the quick spike. They know where the stops are and I have experienced your problems in the past.

FXCM's been perfect for me recently not 1 issue, not 1 SL hit which shouldn't be.

BUT a few more profitable trades in the account and all of a sudden, FXCM starts to conspire against you ( could be coincidence ), so can't rule it out.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

I would trade forex with a bookie I find on the streets before I traded with FXCM. I've interviewed and been offered a position there in the past. I don't consider myself a religious person, but I have morals.

When they start playing up again once I've ruled out coincidences then I'll be looking for someone else to, shame I like there software.

Hi Nav

I have been busy on shares and stuff for ages and dumped my old broker oanda

Going to get a new one that doesn't take 3 weeks to send checks (cheques) through the mail

cable setting off for 1.70+ by year end I reckons...might do some long term stuff and keep the gearing small

share dealing is mega cheap in the US with no stamp duty, but I wish I had my UK spreadbetting facility which is illegal here

The more often you trade with fxcm, the more the spreads widen, stop hunting goes on. If you use fxcm, its best to have a second broker where you can switch off trading between the two.

nice hearing from u buddy..
Yup i figured that too..1.70 is actually my target..if it breaks 1.60 with some substance..that should hold to take into a range where we see 1.68..thats my third part of the plan assuming we get keep rising

thanks for the heads up hope u keeping well

Outside can still still 1:200, but they are stopping all accounts for US Citizens out of the country, so your stuck at 1:50 with no real way out of it.

They tried to do 1:10 so be slightly happy.
