I signed up for an Oanda demo, but can't find where to access the charts for the life of me. When I sign in it just takes me to a page to edit my account info etc.

Yes that is where I am signing in, but it does not take me to charts, just to a page where I can edit info.

Tom,

Great webinar again. Many thanks.

Just getting squeezed on E/U trade. Macd divergence on H1.

Not bothered?

(Just checking if you would take this into consideration)

I'm sorry to say that you did! You should be able to hop onboard the next one!

Click on Wiz's name and read his posts first, if not already done.

Never too late to learn!

Welcome aboard, bro!

Now how about this gap in the EUR/USD?

:-)
Thanks man,

I've never traded a 'gap' before, only J16 stuff.

If I remember correctly, you're trading to fill the 'gap'. The gap being the jump between Friday close and Monday open?

Running a demo on the eurusd, short from 22:00GMT

Thanks Tomek

I was there today, and thought it was probably the most interesting webinar I have been in. Have been right through the thread. It would be wonderful if the first webinars had been archived...and the future ones for that matter!

Ah! Didn't see your name on the list!

In the previous webinar Wiz went into his reasons as to why he wasn't so keen on copying/archiving. I think if you are curious you had better ask him directly, perhaps at the next one.

Today's webinar was fascinating IMHO.

It was very informative but there are still a few questions I would have liked to have asked. Just dont wanna take over the webinar lol.

Do try and make notes. Ive done this with his older posts as well..I'd highly recommend it.

Heres mine:

Wiz webinar

If price sets support, it goes through a PPZ to form resistance.
If a level was support before, it works better as resistance.

Stops should be placed at last level to avoid stop hunting and squeeze

You can usually trade against gov interventions in markets
(JPY & CHF)

Level 2 and SR - does this aborrogate PA?

Best: set a scalp position to become a swing position
Better?: Set a swing position to a long-term position.

Fib retracements in commodities

NFP and news

Morning Guys

Great webinar again Tom - many thanks.

Couple of questions please guys:

Does the sell into support and buy into resistance stronger level apply only to the first time back to a level ? and -

Can you just remind me how many pips the gap should be minimum if you are going to trade a Sunday gap.

Thanks again

Just got filled on the EUR/USD as the gap has just closed. (+59 /0.84 R)

It actually got to within 6 pips of my stop at the high!

Closed. A nice handsome profit to start the week.

I hope this is what you meant? Even had a nice little PB at the top

Edit: Would you say that this strategy generally works across all currency pairs? Or am I making too big an assumption?

I see Wiz...I've been just a bit unlucky with this gap...

My feed opens 1 hour later...so my gap was a little different...and my stop was 80 pips....I've been stopped out by just 1.6 pips

It happens....it was a little 0.01 live trade...

Maybe I have to take in consideration 22:00 Uk time datas to place my stop...but in this case it was more than 2:1
