I haven't tried calling them yet..i'll wait and see what happens here but if it doesn't go back down i will definitely call them. not sure why, have never had that happen before.

Wow your broker should make the adjustment. have you tried calling them? I think we may get another push to the downside, which may put you in profit again.
assume the position...whichever that may be

well if pa takes out the 0 level its no longer retracment and its a target so you need to put expansion on it for that

so now i know what im actually looking for, im looking for the target values.

my tools only have fibo retracement available.

wonder if i can modify myself adding in the targets to my existing fibo.

thats the problem im facing now, i watch video, it shows how much it retrace to example 61.8, so it should reverse and head to the 161.8 or -61.8.

i lack of the target.

thanks.

I'm with fxdd and I just saw that I my tp at 1.3920 was blown thru then all the way back up. I was short from 1.3977 to close the gap. It went all the way down to 1.3896 and then back up and never triggered my tp.. has this happened to anyone else? now i'm in a losing trade

Increased spread due to extreme volatility could be the reason, expecially this early in the trading session. What you see on the chart is bid prices while ask price could be much higher.

Just a heads-up for this BEARISH Gartley formation on the daily



I'd hate to duplicate things if someone else posted it, but haven't seen anything so oh well why not.

that is very likely, limit orders are just like that not guaranteed..you might have to use a major resistance price as your tp next time. a random price will not work all the time IMO.

Good Luck

could be but also then went up to 4 pips under my s/l... the spread would've had to be over 30 pips tho..that's huge. I've never seen a spread over 4 pips with fxdd on e/u

On my platform price went to 3895 so 25+ pips spread likely. Remember it was 80 pips in under one minute, I am certain spreads was very high, maybe 30-40 pips. You will never get normal spreads on a spike like that.

well I ended up closing out +2 pips..not the 50 i hoped for but at least not a loss. lesson learned

You must have done something wrong with a setting, as I have NEVER EVER had any problem with this broker.................and as posted earlier, had a TP of 50 set and got triggered.

They hardly ever change their spread, not even during NFP.

EURGBP has just entered a 4 hour bull trend, considering this, all thoughts of EURUSD shorting go out of my window for the time being.
