lol, okay okay, I am out of both positions. First @ 1.2835 for +72 pips and the added position got out @ 1.2845 for +0 pips. You can take it down from here

LOL Iso .

As long as we both make money it's all good. This one I got it wrong it seems...

Could you please post the whole chart? Cause I can't find the the bottom trendline of your chart? I mean the support trendline of which the price bounced.

Hi Iso
Quoting Isotonic
Hey soso!!!

Once again were on opposing sides of the coin - what's going on here!?!

On Oanda I had this order nearly down to the pip (12700) but it never triggered - could of been a fast move to support at wide spreads or something...maybe I should of turned the bounds on!!!

So now I see I've missed 160 pips so far...thanks Oanda.
Just checked
Oanda - 5 min chart - 7:50am bid price 1.29638
Spread approx 1.5 means you should have been filled.
Checked spread chart http://fxtrade.oanda.com/resources/s...dsminmax.shtml
and there was a spread spike. Don't know exactly when that was though.
fxsol - 5 min chart - 2:50am est - bid price 1.2963.
Fxsol spread is fixed so you 'should' have been filled there.

Would be worth querying to find out what happened to make sure it doesn't happen again. Haven't quite got my head around bounds yet.

I hate it if you got the analysis and order right and your broker fails you!

Best regards
Alan

Actually I think Oanda were correct after all - I placed my order after the low at around 0800 gmt yesterday whereas my order came in around 1000.

So my apologies to Oanda for pointing the finger of incompetence!

(Next time I'll check smaller timeframes... )

Fiber pushed below 1.28 in early Asia. Heading for a third test of 1.27 soon?

Well I'm LONG.......1.278

I believe we see 1.30 shortly even if we get close to 1.270. Theres nothing to push the dollar for strength....unless Bernacke suprises us

thanks

Looks like the channel is still in play. Damn it, I am still affected by other people opinions and I didn't short this one though it was a clear signal for me .

It's funny how we see different things in the same chart - talk about subjective!!! :

I see a flat range rather than a down channel, I would still be tempted to follow the support line.

The grey bar is the measuring bar for the range - that it is containing most of the opens and closes of the succeeding bars.

I would only go short on a clear break on support, looking for a second touch to be formed first...

I only caught 30 pips on the way down. I guess, I'm paying too much attention to JPY crosses. Don't want to miss that big drop that's comming....

It could be as soon as tomorrow with the release of jpy's cpi.
I've been short (gbpjpy) 3 times in the last 3 days @ 211+ with a tight stop for a quick 50-70.
For some reason I feel much more comfortable selling resistance near the top, rather then buying support.
Well this is your fiber thread and I don't want to mess it with my views on jpy crosses.

Dude, it's anybody's and everybody's thread...mess all you like!!!

Here is where I second guessed my system and missed...another weakness I need to work on.

I'm finding the hardest part of trading nowadays is...myself...why can't I just master myself!?!

I placed my orders below the line instead of following the line..looking for a better deal...I'm gonna have to cut this out...

Does anybody else have this problem? Or is it just me..?

again a rerun of the s&p would you sell here...i would actually buy but hesitantly since it is in a triangle formation...

on the sellside i would like to see a clean break and 2nd touch...

i've drawn on a couple of support levels i'd be watching too...

I wonder if we would expect to see a gap come Sunday in which the euro will be up by several pips? I'm sure the brokers know most traders are going short today and will probably turn the tables around soon. The mighty euro is destined to break 1.30!

Is it destined to break or you want it to break? I think the pair is now in a downtrend at least for a few hundred more pips.

I believe the trend will change soon enough. Back around Easter, there was a lot of speculation that the usd was going to dominate and overpower the other currencies then the week after, the euro took off into orbit.

If it breaks 1.2650 I would be a seller.......

But LONGS for the EUR are still strong in my opinion.......

I am still shorting the dollar....If it breaks that 1.2650 then I am a SELLIN!!

thanks
