GBP/USD spread over 10 pips! on FXCM. Other pairs seem insane too with majors up to 11 pips! Right now Usd/cad is at 12 pip spread. Whats going on?????

Now the GBP/CAD IS 18.7 PIP SPREAD. And the gbp/usd is 11.5 The others are out of whack too but all gbp pairs are crazy. You guys know what this is dont you. Its FXCM 's way of halting trading. They dont want anyone taking a position off of their behind. Wow, I wonder what we will find out this morning at 9. And whats weird is only this hours volume bar is way up, but price isnt really going anywhere. Why are they trying to halt trading when price is not moving much but volume is so high. Who the hell is paying this spread!!!?????

Still maintain Bearish bias for Cable as I let the charts speak for themselves.

I am holding a small short position. However, I do not believe on the low volume trade these days... I am not surprise if market turn against my position any time.

Any way, enjoy the festive season with any pips you can gasp...

Good luck to all members

Price Action and Support / Resistance is still in play regardless of how much Volume is there. I was able to bank 4,200 pips on multiple pairs in the past 38 days using my strategy

Good luck to you as well ForexRat!

Maybe u will be surprised in coming days...GU is strengthening.
A lot of demand at resistance zones overhelming the supply. Watch out.
Low volume on down bars all to 4h TF. My view from 1.61XX min target is 1.63.

1.63 hasn't been broken since August 2011, that is almost a year and a half... I wouldn't place that kind of bet not with last week's Shooting Star on the weekly right at major resistance and weekly TL.

My shorts are based off of Price Action at major Resistance aka PASR. I am patient as my trades will be held for probably a few weeks at least, probably longer.

Also, I wouldn't consider a 30 pip move in half a day "strengthening" just quite yet, there is still quite a bit of "today" left.

Just added another short @ 1.61501

Didn't say you re not right. I look at my charts too and share my view. Maybe I'm really wrong but that is the way of learning more.
I understand your view and respect it.

It's a good RR in this range if it plays out.
