sure thing kokopelli.... FX Primus....so far no problems with them except this 100 pips requirement on their limit orders in ECN...
I concur with Ljin - Either resolve that with them or move to someone else. You can't trade with that kind of restriction.

I hope your analysis is correct because i am in a long carried over the weekend, looking much better ATM, we'll play it out. Damn, i hate these carryovers but i hate to take a loss even worse. We'll hang in there.
Oop's just hit TP on eur/cad as i was typing, +20.

Good Luck
same here. but to be honest, i kinda regret to enter at an aggressive point(1.3194). h4 shows that it still resist at ema 200. should have wait the price goes past that line. what did you think?

hi ljin,

again, i have no problem with the pips nor with pipettes, much more with spread...in fact no problem with the broker, except that, they require a distance of 100 pips on limit orders which is not reasonable, hence, i am trying to get the wisdom behind that requirement from seasoned traders and traders who have experienced the same and knows the reason why....

hope this clear things up...
It's the first time I hear about a minimum of 100 pips. That's absurd if it's true, I would check with my broker or get rid of them asap.

True, and on H1 you have a resistance level around the 1.3215 area. Like i said i am in and will play it out, hopefully the bulls come out at NY session.

the attached is the order execution window....
awin - you are mis-reading the order window. put in a limit order, and you will see that '100 pips' equates to 10.0 pips...

(look at your eurusd order window - that's showing at least 20 pips for a limit order, right? - meaning at least 2.0 pips).

try a test - if you set your limit order about 40.0 pips from current market price, you will have time to delete the test order before market price gets too close...

my friend, thank you for that thought.... i did that before actually posting..it is 100 pips not 100 pipettes...

i hope this clears about the issue on pips and pipettes...

sorry for that my friend. but it is quite crazy to have 100 pips. and you should ask your broker , and not us. probably better if you contact support of that broker instead of posting here in strategy thread.

hello. could you post your weekly pivot indi?
and regarding your issue. i am beginner as well. but from the chart, i can see that the time you open (new candle) , the tdi is flat and when the price keep going up , the tdi become like this (\/) . as per rule. you are not suppose to enter when tdi flat. thats your exit rule .

ljin, not because you find some topic irrelevant means that you will not learn from it...

who knows someday you will encounter the same problem, at least now you know that some brokers do that...

this thread had become a full grown community, and in a community every concern counts...if you ever want to belong to a community, try not to dismiss any "out-of-topic" concerns of any member of the community as irrelevant and out-of-topic...

i'm responding not for you, but to preserve the kind of openness and camaraderie imbibed by X-Man, that great conqueror who started this thread....

IMO, X-Man is the only who has the right to say, "hey man, your topic is out-of-whack, stop posting and stop asking!"

i hope ljin this is clear to you...

I might just switch from the 15min chart to the 4hr chart and hang on to this and ride it, turning it from a profitable intraday trade into a profitable swing trade if PA continues to go my way.
???
Hi,

I really like what you say you would do.... converting an intraday trade to a swing trade. Something I do all the time.

Once you are in the market, you follow the price movement and get into the rythm of things. You know the trader in you and know how to manage the trader in you. You sure know how to trade and make money in this market.

You have to play around with the display settings. In the sonicR thread there are rules etc on this indi.

It was a wrong trade. i take it that you didnt look at a higher TF to see the overall picture.
If you go to the daily or 4H TF and draw a trendline you will see that PA is just bouncing off that line.
If you draw a fibb on the daily you will see that PA is at the 61.8% retracement level.
All these are pointing long. You will also see the bullish divergance if you zoom out.

sounds good. but emma, when you did convert from intra to swing trade. are you thinking about swap?

*p.s : i think the market already show some bullish momentum, at last we will probably break free from boring LO

x-man. i also see those divergence . and on my h4 i saw it just bounce from fib 61.8 . but the trend was downward on daily. so my analysis says that, the price will go long just for a retracement probably until it reach 38 fib. then continue its downtrend .
how do you think about it? is it good analysis or ?
