GM my friend,
just got up , where we going ?
Asia will probably take out weak short stops above 4035 to 4060. I'll be selling into those if lack of strength is there.

Dont get caught with your pants down on UJ either, if BOJ wants to bring the Yen down a bit today would be the perfect day.

Hi all

This is my 1st post here, am seeking advice on slippage issues
I went long eurusd at 0400 NY time 6 Sep at 1.4118, then at 0402-0403, the SNB decision about eurchf rate came out, price of eurusd shot up 100+ pips, basically the pip count went past my initial tgts by a lot. I tried to close my trades as market orders, and got slipped abt 30+ pips (my p/l statement showed only X amt as profit, but according to the mkt price that I closed at, it shd be X + Y amt)

I contacted my broker (a big company with U.S. and Canada Offices) and...
slippage normal for market order, if it middle of intervention specially yesterday intervention/peg slippage of 500+ (on euchf ) too normal , but if you had limit order they can only fulfill slippage in your favor (on your tp or extra pip )

SL is market order , tp is limit order

Thanks for the quick reply!!

As per your reply, does it mean that it is normal that during news release, if the price moves against me, my stoploss might be rendered useless as there might be huge slippage, and that I might lose up to 100+ pips more than what I expected to lose as per my stoploss?

I dont want to be with retail traders where majority loose their deposits. SMA5 bearish, m5 bearish, PA bearish. M15 bearish, why do you want to go long at this situation? Just made another lower high, lower low. H1 / h4/ daily still in downtrend... why do you want to go against the trend and "teach that market a lesson" ?

22 pips lower since penetration claimed to go long for asian session...
I am right there with ya my friend. I like to follow the giants not he mice. I've been short since around 1.45 closed out today @ 1.4004.

Yeeper, 30 pips is not all that bad really when the markets moving fast. Most brokers and there liquidators cant fill all demands to the tee.

I have got may ass kick by slippage and by widing spreads (sucked into a buy order with a huge spread blew thru my SL to go 200 pips south). Luckily I got my cash back, I was trading for a group 'a institution' and they went to bat for me. Now as a individual retailer, we have not to much pull.

Spikes happen, slippage happens, stop hunting...Stick to your guns always

Indeed and the big question is can Germany say No !!

So money to be made on the theatre as we approach the decision and the market attempts to price in the risk according to rumout, inside info and the reading of many chicken bones......

.....and then once the news comes out, there could well be a big move, especially if its no (1.375 is my guess). The upside may be less muted and to some extent already in (and will be negated should Italy or Greece fail to hit pre-requisite austerity measures).

Ripple up, ripple down, then basically think 'whatever' and get back to doing what it was going to do anyway.
