weird, oanda also had that - price was at 75 stalled and then went back up to 18 -> I thought GREAT so i bought a pretty big size when it showed 75, only to have it execute at 18. Fishy stuff if more than one broker show that.
Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability.

Time to explore a new broker?

Not sure if it's jforex - if so, they say refreshing might fix it. If it's MT4, it's one bad tick more than likely - or a API/bridge issue - which means the broker is suspect as far as I'm concerned. I'm with Citibank, and in 2+ years, I've never had a bad tick. Have also checked FxPro, and certainly futures don't have it. Given it seems to have occured in the last bar of the 5pm close - when liquidity is incredibly low, and banks are going offline: it still points to some sort of a broker-to-bank(s) bridge issue IMHO. I would not have this as my broker. Regardless, it would suck to get wiped out of a SL or even worse a margin hit, due to a 100+ pip broker error.

700+.....first greece Eu scenario
700 pip gap? Is that what you're saying?

If so, it is not true. Apparently, this is how urban myths start - through misinformation and false facts.

As an example, 9/11 caused a 500 pip drop (obviously not through a weekend) if I'm not mistaken, but the far more minor events of Greece never caused such a drop.

Just going from trading memory - at least 2+ years back - I do not recall a gap of more than 150 pips.

wow that has to hurt if that happens
do stops work over weekend even if your broker is closed or you just basicaly come to an empty acc on Sunday opening?
Stops won't work over the weekend, because the bank your broker is tied to is not online, nor is your broker. But, the minute they come online Sunday night and your broker goes live, your stops will be tripped, or, you will hit your leverage ceiling and automatically be liquidated (in MT4).

Should you be in a position where it gaps in your favour and you have TPs set, it should give you the then actual bid price, even if it is in your favour. (ie., a more profitable TP than you asked for)

Hi all,
can I get some opinions please from our longer timeframe friends on FF. i'm trying to learn to take more longer term positions which is new to me so id appreciate some feedback on my daily chart analysis to see if i am either potentially on the money or off the mark.......per my attached daily chart EU is at a rather interesting crossroads. it is touching a down trend line and there is a potential positive divergence on the slow stochastic. if the pa closes above this downwards trendline and the stoch confirms the divergence could we be...

If you can ignore sto why not a smart tobo....left shoulder and head is ok now right shoulder...may be

At times it is strong up & next strong down . market playing fishy games very well & successfully . Yesterday daily close over 4230 is also a strong bullish sign to me , broke all channels watching before but still within the wedge up & H1 close level of 4326 & limit up 4345 intact. gold start bulling at the same time , no intervention yet this time but can't ignore at all.anything can happen to try divert soon .

lets see if the next week for restore all anarchies in the past & resume peace & prosperity .

This and similar posts give me shiver. Been there many times.

Trapped in such a big draw down, puts one in brain freeze. You never know what to do. It is almost certain that the moment you close the trade or take opposite postion, it starts retrieving and keeps making lower lows. But if you don't close the trade it keeps on going against your position.

1. Generally Pa doesn't change its direction after a strong move. Some rest, some retrace, then again moves on.

2. One prevetion is to keep position sizes small so that trader scalps him/herself out from this situation on seeing right opportunity. But that too has its own risk.

I don't know if it is advisable in your case, but if it was me would have taken the loss.

the 1m 5m 15m 30m 45m 60m 180m 240m 480m, day, week, all bullish with daily b/o
but, there is a damn red box on my chart. some asshole put it there. it all looks bullish.. im curious if we gap down below the upper mofu 4314.3, what will happen. i got the close at 4317.5.. just above.. it has crossed with the close. if the red box flexes then we may range.. there is another red box a little higher. i will adapt if need be.. these fricken mofus in a close cluster can be a bitch.. we never crossed the usdx one (with a close above).. we were rejected at upper, just like the place the eu is currently at. (the upper one)

I'm short from 1.2176 sl: 1.2265. I took the position Friday

My major concern for the past few days is that we came down without touching 1.5000. The pa did the same probably two years ago and then went back up.
