Hehe nice one bro Keep it up!

Gonna work on porting my stuff over to JForex over the weekend now... always resisted over the years since well the pricefeed is very good but JForex charts themselves... no comment... Since i work with market orders this metatrader lag is just annoying as hell since the candles open/close way too late... market has already moved on in most cases...
Heymate. I think I missed a couple posts where you had questions about JForex. Can you point me to them...or ask again? I'll have some time this evening to take a look at them, and offer any help or advice that I can.

Yeah...the charts are dreadful. Some nice features, but I just don't fancy them. I don't really like Java based apps, period. I now try and stay away from JForex as much as possible...no charts open...just orders being filled. Just trying to use as little processing power as possible. I do get fantastic execution with them, though...SO much faster than MT4. Rock solid fills!

Hola...

Went to sleep at 7am...took the day off. Closed out some remaining trades a while ago that filled on the run up this morning. Top three orders filled and hit their TP1- 10pips, TP2- 15pips, TP3- 20pips...aka...my "not-in-front-of-screens, partial close" method. Bottom two did not hit any of those, but were of course smaller in size. Final positions closed at these values...

Yeah in deed. At 1 mio+ lotsize the execution is very good for a "retail" broker. I also like to look at the 30sec from time to time and while MT5 does give you the "in between" timeframes its still based on >= 1min...

The questions are JForex programming related but it seems you are not using it for that kinda stuff.

Didn't recognize you with the new avi!

I'll throw something together tonight. I already have something, but I update it each week. Pretty tired today...going to have a quiet night, so it'll be a perfect time to do it.

Enjoy mate.

Yeah...java isn't my strongest language. I've messed around with a few indicators, though...and a couple of strategies. But, you're right...I'm not doing anything heavy in JForex. All I ask of it is to "listen" out for my orders.

If you're stuck on something, though...shoot. I may be able to help...or send you in the right direction to get help. I know a few JF whizzes.

Cheers mate...good luck with it.

# == Number

"4277 is a big number to me"

"Number 1...Number 2"

Excellent, maybe we can spark a discussion about some more unconventional ways of trading.

BIG moves are a comin on all USD pairs.....could start next week. Global interest rate expectations have fallen significantly in the last two weeks. FWIW, this week I've talked to a couple big money manager traders on the east coast(guys that trade $300-$500mm accounts), and they tell me everyone is dumping risky instruments and is accumulating highly liquid assets.

Something tells me i should hold it over the weekend and save another 20pips then close it. I dont know if its good idea, never hold loss position over the weekend, however looking on the chart i believe its gonna drop. Im still novice trying different things, but moved to real account as last results on demo were very promising.

thanks
Doing this - you are on a great way to blowing your account. You let profits run, not losses. I'm late to tell you to close, but mark my words, doing what you are doing (you say you have 7% account drawdown on this position) - I'd close it.

Your money, your choice.

I had a 0.1 lot 1.4460 and a 0.1 lot 1.4440 short two days ago and it went down to 1.4280 yesterday, i was thinkging about to close both of them to get good profits. but then i closed the 1.4440 order to get 160 profits. And then i moved my 1.4460 s/l to 1.4425, as well as set a 0.2 lots sell limit at 1.4350 with s/l 1.4425, was hoping to see they hit my sell limit then drop to below 1.4250 and have a down trend the entire next week. But unfortunately, it went up today and i lost 2*75-25=125 profit so almost give back the profit earned yesterday.
Too...
Good that you only traded pocket change. If it isn't going down it will go up, thats a fact. Consider adding positions when positive going towards TP, not when it's retracing. And check out the technical levels and price action.

If you do set a sell limit, then set the SL that if hit it breaks you even from you previous profits still open, i.e. that would mean a SL about 1,4380 (2x30 loss, 1x 80 win) on your position.

Also I dont know what your broker enables you to do with minilots, but I am guessing it is most probably the minimum position size. It's always good to have positions that you may partially close. At least that works for me. Of course take that into consideration for you trading capital and risk amounts.
