If you've found any shortcuts and they're working for you,
lemme know if you get this Quantitative Easing thing figured out.

That's the one I want to try out.

Got debts, no problem. Print some money and forget about it.

I dunno if I quite got it figured out yet, but it does seem like every disaster becomes an opportunity for dumping $$$. This week should speak volumes (no pun intended) about the trend for some time to come.

haha it wasn't an attack against him, I am just gobsmacked at how much people put on their graphs sometimes. If he's trading and making money then that's great!

My graph would bore you, it's a candle stick chart, it has volume on it and occasionally I draw a line on so I remember a price level. I suspect this makes me crazy in some people's eyes too, maybe we're all crazy and just haven't figured it out yet?
Not crazy at all. Price action at its finest. Keep it simple stupid

I guess this closes the myth that there is no Gapping through a Stop in Forex! Newbies please take note.
Spot Forex has gaps ... These gaps aren't price differentials of currency but the price difference from close of business Friday to the opening Sunday.

Spot Forex is a business, the business that runs it has hours of operation, the gap from from the hours of non-operation.

Let's said there's no such thing as gap .... But
usually if the market move over the weekend ...
it will get back to where it closed on Friday
usually within 24 hrs ....

I wouldn't said 100% but at least 75% it will do that ...
This could be an exception ... who know ....
but it doesn't matter ....

and stop calling people newbies ...

This is pretty common with all brokers, not just in FX.

I know one trade I had a few years ago that was a healthcare equity... terrible news over the weekend, had to wait until Monday to close the order out, after it had dropped 72%.

Stops were in place and in profit... so nice of them, huh.

Then stop posting your stupidity here making so many noobie mistakes and we will stop calling you that. Not being called a noobie must be earned and you are years away from that one.

Enjoy talking to Iggy.

How much sillier can a noobie be.

I have 3 datafeeds, none of them closed over the weekend. Just because you can't afford a proper broker does not mean what you are seeing is right, it is only right in your little world.

Another muppet added to the Iggy list. Gotten 12 of them so far this evening.

I love it when we see a solid 200 pip run, it does bring out the !d!ots in droves.

I only show up here when the market is either ranging, my trades are in profit or my setup has not quite materialised. I use this place to kill a bit of time and if I can help a few along the way, then all is well.
And that's why I like your posts, they never have a hint of 'I'm just writing this to make myself feel good about the ridiculous trade I just took' in them.

My apologies if I offend anyone with that term as I was once one (and in this room I am one). What is the PC for "some one new to Forex"?

hour. The rest are in the oven ready to turn green down the road. I'm holding off some more. I might be able to buy in at the 1.40's. Happy pipping.

WOW, Toshi!

Havent seen you for a long time, how you going?

Larseg,

I am glad to see you're still kicking.

Staying in the game is what it's all about.

I remain intact. The reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated.

Think about what you are doing, your broker is showing you a gap only because they do not reflect the real market. The proper market has been trading for hours before your broker opened. Now try to think how big your broker really is in the grand scheme of things and try to figure out how much money is looking at the gap that your tiny little retail broker is showing you that none of the interbank market sees. See now how futile your setup is? If you still can't see it, then by all means keep trading your little gap to your heart's content.

Retail...

I honesty never saw it like that... As i am writing this I'm probably either almost or already stopped out but anyway thank you for making me realizing the err in my ways.... So mad right now, never trading this gap again....
