Hi everyone here) Let's discuss what was your favorite order you have ever done? How it was? What were the conditions of it? Why you can't forget this order? May be because of that reason that it gave you good profit or may be otherwise? Let's share!

Thanks for your answers and that you share your experience))

I still don't have such kind of order in my live trading career. I am yet to find it.

But had nice orders in Demo accounts.

The most memorable trade was EUR/JPY buy order a few weeks back which i closed for 300 pips profit, but for my surprise the position moved almost 700+ pips in the direction of my trade.

Made 200+pips in no time.
That was pretty cool

At that time my type of trading was a sort of scalping.
The trade I remember most was EurUsd, in demo trading.

I opened a sell position and I did not have time to put the SL or TP due to a failure on my internet provider, I stay without internet for about three days.

After three days, when I have access to my trading platform. I had more than 200 pips in my favor.
Just ignore me. Thanks.

Just too many to list.
How can I forget any one of them.

I buy, the price goes down
I sell, the price goes up.

Works every time.

LOL... that is funny but true.

In my case is more like that one first order you place with actual live money and you later realize it was the first trade in a series of trades that showed that your system doesn't work.

The sweet ones to me are those that happen to be in the right side of a major news release. Regardless of how much the move made me, it was fast and I like that better. LOL

XAUUSD last year, I saw a very good CCI divergence on H4 TF
and I placed the order, close my laptop and closed for the day

and around 9pm another mate called and asked if I saw what was happening in GOLD
and I said I was not on charts, He said I should open charts to see, and when I checked
it had dropped so massively and it continued like that for 3 days.

No way I can forget that day and that particular trade.

Not FX but funny none the less.

10hr poker session @HippodromeLDN! A Player asked for a "side order of Broccoli"! Possibly the strangest, most memorable order ever?! It was some American tourist guy who had some serious Hollywood affectations going on, with his crisp white shirt a little too far undone, and bright orange chinos. All this while wearing massive headphones. Too much poker TV will F#@K you up, don't do it kids!

As for FX, the first time I traded the non-farm payroll was eye opening!

The most memorable order I have had was an Usd/Jpy short. Came out with almost 25x my risk on that trade. I was pretty happy on that ))))

My most memorable order always seems to be my most current order.

OMG are you referring to the time recently when the tsunami hit?
I happened to also be positioned short on the usd/jpy it was around
4 - 4:30pm one slow afternoon...I'll never forget it I never seen price
drop and move so fast...

My most second memorable trade ever was when the swiss bankers
intervened recently for the first time I was holding the chf/jpy and
overnight while in dream land sleeping I woke up to a huge spike
up....unfortunately I wasn't there to witness it but it happened
and I'll never forget...

P.S the usd/jpy was a sell trade that dropped down I can't recall exactly but
was at minimum 1000 pips and the chf/jpy was a buy trade that spiked
up at least 1200 pips....the movement of price all happened within a hour

Actually no, it wasn't during the tsunami. It was during this recent pullback in the Usd/Jpy we had. From top to bottom, range of about 1000 pips. I caught about 500 some odd pips of it as my strategies revolves on very tight stops.

My most memorable one was in the spring of 1996. I was trading commodities back then using a combination of technical and fundamental analysis. I was watching the evening news and the weatherman warned of a cold front moving into the Florida area that threatened the survival of the orange crop. The next morning I powered up my PC and signed onto the dial-up Internet service. I went to one of the very few sites showing commodity prices, and discovered that orange juice futures had shot up in the past few hours. This was no big surprise considering the possible freeze coming up. I decided it was too late to take a position, but kept an eye on that weather front anyhow.


Within 48 hours the scare was over and the freezing temperatures hadn’t materialized. I decided to check up on orange juice futures and was shocked to see that prices hadn’t dropped at all. They were still ridiculously high because of the cold front. I thought about it for a few minutes then called my broker. I purchased a put option (which is basically going short) on frozen orange juice. Within a few hours it was profitable, and it kept getting better with time. I cashed it in a few days later for a very handsome profit. But the experience itself was probably even more valuable. Talk about trading the news . . . lol.

Heh) It's really memorable and funny story about profit..) Is there trading on orange juice in our time? And is it high volatile?

I'm glad you see the humor in it. That was my first and only OJ trade. Timing was important, and you could call it lucky. But at the same time I recognized an opportunity, stayed patient, then acted on it when the timing was right.

OJ is definitely still being traded. I suspect most of the volume is for commercial hedging as opposed to speculation, but I'm no expert. I did notice there was another orange crop scare this spring, though. This time due to both weather and disease. Looks like it's been a good cash cow for some.
