BIS attempting fightback, predictable but pathetic tbf. Want to see the market allowed to find the correct level for this pair, which is a fair bit south from here! Only manipulation has kept the price around 1.3, no solid basis for it whatsoever

ThankU for the quick reply bro,one more thing i wanted to know,is OANDA a good forex broker? i am seriously thinking about changing my current broker i.e. ETORO,so like shud i opt for OANDA? Thank u
I have accounts with both eToro and Oanda. In my opinion both brokers are good, honest, and straight forward. However each has their own quirks which you have to live with. eToro has slightly wide spreads charging three pips on EUR/USD. However they are fixed even at news releases. Oanda has variable spreads which can be as low as under one pip. However at news releases they can increase to ten pips sometimes more. The platform is open 24/7 including weekends. However the spreads are often ten pips or more. The real thing in favor of eToro is that it does not charge a daily roll. Oanda does charge a roll by the second. I have been short EUR/USD for a while now and am being charged about a third of a pip each day on the position. It is amazing how quickly it adds up. However eToro does charge a fee of 2 pips to hold a position over the weekend and requires a minimum margin level. There is a problem with Oanda widening spreads at news releases as they can often get the stop. Nevertheless this can be worked around as a known feature.

In summary, I like them both and know their little foibles. Both are reasonable transparent with their charging structure and are genuinely customer focused. Personally I would recommend that you have an account with both of them.

Come on hda why the surprise ? Dollar not a reserve currency anymore , central banks buy euro as another alternative. A sure lots of other reasons for the flows too.

I don't even bother with this highly emotional pair anymore.

Hollande wants to renegotiate fiscal pact with Germany and the french (as did Sarkosy) have a different approach to intervention/austerity. Sarkosy took it up the bot bot from Merkel for the greater good, Hollande has touted he will change things for France and all Germany. Although many suspect this is rhetoric and although the icing may be changed, the cake will remain the same.

Of greater concern is Greece, where the 2 main parties making up the coalition that agreed the terms for the most recent bailout/measures have taken a pounding...anti austerity parties are close to taking 60% of the vote, leaving the main two with just under 40% and to make things harder, the far right (kill the immigrants party) and the far left (lets be North Korea party) have both susbstantially increased their votes to 7% and 10% respectfully.

With US recovery resembling a dead cat bounce and the election spin machine ready to gear up, the Euro back in the mixes, its a race to the bottom in the USD/EUR special olympics race

You are absolutely right, Motion.

Retail brokers only fill the order during trading hours. That is why it is called trading hours.

Why should they fill when they have no trading hours? They are anyway fully hedged.


If a retail broker with defined trading hours fills an order outside trading hours, it is a scam!!!!
Yes Fini! You've said it all. SCAM!!!

But you know what they say: "Knowledge can be transfered but not Experience."

Navk's money was taken by his broker, not by the market. There'll always be the good trader and the experienced one. Anyday, anytime. Navk will be fine soon...as we've related better on private grounds.

@ Motion

I thought limit orders fill at the specified price or better

In the case of someone with an open limit in a gap down situation (your broker creates the gap, by starting up feed whenever) i would expect the order to fill at next available price.
Yes mediaboy. We have lots of ordertypes. Ranging from simple market orders to P&C's, SCOs, scaling/cascading orders.

A limit order tells your broker to give u the specified price or better but not worse. When you set a buy limit of 3050, you're telling your broker to fill you at prices at 3050 or below. But what I'm trying to point out is this: if your broker claims you're a retailer and deprives you of some benefits like not allowing u to place order(s) over the weekend, then your limits should not be filled except your stop orders. Your buy limit should only be filled, if prices hit it from above during MARKET hours. Simple. You only gain such knowledge from experience. I can tell a standard broker from a hungry one by merely chatting with their helpdesk.

BTW Fini, have you contacted Raza?

Interesting point. I will definetly check with my broker on this detail - not that i plan to have limits working over the weekend in a market as crazy as this one.
