TORONTO (Dow Jones)--Oanda, one of the largest online currency trading platforms for retail investors, has some unusual advice for its customers: stay out of the market.

"We are encouraging our clients not to trade right now, but to watch the market carefully," said Michael Stumm, president and chief executive at Oanda, in an interview.

Oanda this week sent an email to its clients, advocating that they move to the sidelines and watch the markets tussle over each new headline out of Europe.

Oanda had over 29,000 U.S....

Its funny,

Same as telling people before they buy alcohol that its dangerous... Wouldn't get much reaction I reckon...

However, I dont look at these times as bad r:r or crappy times, in fact the more volatile the easier my job is...

From a non-trader prospective I reckon it looks very good though, as in; I would love to start trading with oanda cause they seem so honest good...

@fxjawn

I thought about your spastic rants yesterday and I think you would benefit greatly from pending orders, to build up some patience...

Just a simple dynamic back-test on last 6 whatever formation you would like to trade and go from there...

It will give you less screening time and less hassle...

only my 2 cents, take it as you want

typo its bullish up to 3453.. touching here is probably bearish... even if it touches is will probably bounce... but the bounce should not get higher then the current high. so look for weakness in the bounce. if it does bounce. its still bullish till 53 is touched. so a long near 55 is also a possibility.. 3354 would be the bear st target
target 3368 with mid at 3414.. a little higher then in the original post.

Yep was out at B/E and didn't expected to be stopped, but market is always full of little surprises for us...

The trade premise was a close at 00:00 GMT above 1.3495, that failed, trade idea is invalidated.

Now if the 1.3456 or 1.3495 levels acts as resistance we could see the euro dive to re-test the October low at 1.3145...

to break we may need a small hump.
we have a db in the smaller tf.. and now have gone back to the last b/o area. back to the new bottom will form a new smaller hump. a formation common before a big move b/o. sometimes it makes 2 humps. worth paying attention to.
