Great thing about forex is that it is scalable. You can piss away millions just as fast as you can piss away thousands.
Kill the ego, or it will kill the mission.

This was my view last Saturday. It pretty much played as described... I'll write my overall view for next week today or tomorrow.. Quick heads up, it seems to be pretty much done with this retrace.. but I need to look at it in a little more detail to figure out the levels..

Staring at the chart... Maybe I should be doing something else. Like getting a life...

Either way, it seems to me we reached a top, or an intermediate one at least. So I'll start giving shorts their time of day. It's not just going to drop from here. They spent a lot of money to bring us all the way up.

Point is, it will consolidate... I think somewhere between 3460-70 and 3400 for a couple of days. I will be paying attention if the ranges will start descending towards 3340-3320 but in the first phase they should stay above 3380-90.

3340-20...

had to close out my long position for a loss last night, so purely based on that i bet the fucker gaps up tomorrow, conversely had i held the position open over the weekend it would most definitely gap down..

seriously, there's still plenty of room in the bull channel for a further dip south, before long term pa turns my bias bearish...

6:18 PM To no one's surprise, Moody's is downgrading Greece's debt to C, sending it further into junk territory. The agency cites Greece's recent debt swap deal, which requires private bondholders to take a 70% haircut. Fitch downgraded Greece to C last week

read with me thanks to igor


1.) All ECN systems are "asynchronous" and require a certain amount of buffering, or "space/time" to avoid order collisions we refer to as "ships colliding in the night", where the cancel or handling of an SL/TP can result in a reject and fill at the same time an instant close is issued, resulting in double orders or an "out trade". The normal handling of this "space" in the process is conducted per Metaquotes on the Freeze / SL constant which the EA author can interrogate at any time to know the standard distance the server is configured for.



2) Historically brokers have handled this with "static" Freeze zones of between 3 and 6 Pips, plus "Invisible delays", meaning once the market was within that distance of the target side, the trade becomes committed to a "Point of no return" where the fill is considered "imminent", unless the market should turn back. The brokerage delays the order until the cancel SL/TP is completed, then fills the trader with slip from that delay, (possibly skimming the slip as well). More and more, ECN brokers have been adopting the infamous "magic dealer" plugin which radically whips the freeze and sl zones dynamically, (unfairly), without updating the related Freeze / SL constants, each time the market goes into volatility. This, we consider to be a violation of No Dealer STP commitment ATC refuses to impose on our system, most often used to "Skim" slippage to the broker, as well as avoiding the "ships colliding in the night".



3.) The nature of ECN trading exposes a dynamic spread. ECN trading existed well before the days of dealer buffered, fixed spread, retail operations. In recent years, FXCM developed a "Hit-and-miss" round robin process of requesting committed quotes with every order, then issuing to the best confirmed, but then receiving back "too late to fill", moving to next best bank, etc., etc. This creates a delay of fill for orders near the current market and for some banks can vacuum off available liquidity at that level. The delay means that a trader may "FEEL" or program his EA, to escape an SL by a couple of Pips, if time has gone by. Unfortunately, the traders SL / TP is a "Commitment", whereby the act to "revoke" that commitment just as it's likely to fill, can be compared to the broker using a dealer to make it look like volume is gone, when it is not. The broker prepares to convert the SL/TP to market based on "Timeliness" with their banks. When the spirit of a commitment to order becomes "plastic" then the trader is behaving the same way a broker would, engaged in "stop hunting", e.g. "I'm going to put a stop "here" to make you THINK that's my target, but then I'll close by market and "stick the broker" with the sl/tp fill after the fact". In essence, this is like a "Cheat" where we commit to an order, but then unfairly revoke it at the last minute. Market orders ARE a commitment to fill, (at whatever the price might end up AFTER delay to successfully cancel the SL/TP FIRST!!!! ) ATC also does not pull that stunt on traders. We simply tell you, 1 pip on all order setups, 2 pips on the sl/tp against a market close.



Can 2 pips be considered extreme? Not in forex. We've seen Freeze/SL zones as high as 12 Pips and time-in-market requirements as high as 15 minutes. We see two pip spread expansions dynamically in these networks all the time. Even if these come by way of the broker changing the mark-up on he spread at the last minute, he's entitled under law, to set his price for the apples he's selling on the street, so long as the bid and ask both changed the same amount. It is the nature of an unregulated system which falls under a certain amount of voluntary regulation per each country, such as the US now requiring 50:1, QUITE unfairly, in my opinion, literally risking to put the US back a full decade in our pursuits to catch up to European success in Forex.



I'm sorry this restriction is an imposition for some, however I will not impose invisible delays or pull a hidden dealer stunt on our traders, before honestly telling them, if you're going to play fake on SL/TP targets, widen your targets by two Pips and you'll have no problem.
