{quote} Well,if you say so.

Nice call on that PA yesterday. Closed my position out on that bearish candle on the four hour a little while after. Glad I did.

I just got in.I believe it is in a good reversal zone.Perhaps a gap down could happen over the weekend so I decided to go in now and not wait for next week..I wish you all a splendid weekend.

The whole reason I got out of my trade was the risk involved with the long weekend, Syria etc. I think if nothing goes wrong you might get a pull back to 97.50. Regardless Im gonna be buying pull backs because I think the overall trend is upward.

You are correct!As for me,i just still like sticking to my analysis with the hope that the fundamentals(most times unpredictable) do the rest.I know for sure that PA will definitely respond regardless of if the news is positive or not.

Check this shite out. Both USDJPY positions in the green, but because my broker's closing spread is heinously fecking ridiculous, ended friday with underwater-above water positions.

Looks like my broker was trying to get some SLs before the weekend.

Forex Broker out of Germany, I believe.

I was a leverage account that I use for scalping until I transfer to FXDD.

I have those two USDJPY and AUDUSD ITM, but because of the spread all three are negative. Been trading 5 years and that is the first time I have ever seen that on a major.

Laughed hard. That is one of the reasons why I won't touch anything except ECN.

It was all the yen pairs. My other account is ECN, but havent checked yet. If it opens sunday in profit ill be fine. I think they are solid positions regardless and still have a little bit to tp. What it is is probably a dealing desk. Thats why it only hold less than 10% of trading capital.

Yes yen pairs. EJ was over 20 and geppy was over 40! What could have caused that to yen pairs? Because dollar pairs on the same broker was fine. EU was just over 2

Huh, I apologize - didn't check it before blaming non-ECN brokers. As I've just logged to check my spread on UJ, it seems it was at 14,9 during the close. Sick.

Just a thought only, with Obama seeking congressional approval, I wonder if the spread widened to clear usdjpy shorts out for a drop next week. I assume if Obama gets the ok or goes in regardless, I'd assume yen would spike hard. After USD had the big day Thursday, Fridays follow up was a big week

this happens every weekend so it has nothing to do with what will happen next week.
