Mr. Hatch, does your Ducascopy demo platform show you the book in realtime? If so, do you observe the following in the last hour or so: fairly good offer size builds within a half of market, against light bids. Then, big bids suddenly take it in an uptick, moving the offer center a tick or more up. Bids disappear, and the same thing repeats. If Dy's ECN has the same pattern, that bid dance is coming from somewhere outside the brokers' clients.

i can't tell you, for i don't use it anymore.
but i will take a look at alpari.
for whats it's worth... damn, you're good at observation.
Wish I could flatter myself, but it's software. Even if I did have something to do with the programming.
Anyway, same bid patterning as last night, slow, but steady, eating the offers as they appear.

you just gave me another tool, as i usually don't look at the tick chart, but what you have pointed out is very telling, when price doesn't actually move candle-wise. oanda didn't even budge a single pip in the meantime, while they were "eating away".
i was pretty close to close that long-trade and book it.
This seems to be playing out exactly as the previous two nights with a 180 to 200 pip move from trough to peak. Looking for this one to be capped around 3508, if not then re-test the highs. Anybody see a catalyst for this to keep charging ahead like this or are shorts around the corner?
Im short and its not looking good.
