Tony, sorry for your loss and frustration. One thing I have been wondering a long time, why don't you just trade futures? There is a lot of advantages trading futures (even Oanda for sure is one of the better FX brokers). Pure commission based (app what is equal to .5 pip) , high liquidity, heavily regulated, almost same leverage as Oanda etc etc. Tried to PM you, but not possible. Anyway, thanks for best thread in FF ever : Fun, profitable and honest no BS stuff, a really rare combo here.... Epic!!! PC {quote}

Sorry I sometimes don't see all the posts... I've been trading just Currencies for a long time now and haven't tried other things which may or may not work... Thanks for the idea I might try. I'm a person that really doesn't move around a lot... if it works I just do the same thing

Well you know, I've been with them for a long time... 2007 I think... I just spoke to a manager and they said is purely a technical error so I'm not gonna let them down that easy. I've screwed up in my life too. I know to forgive too.

Hi Tony, I am very glad that things are not as bad as they seem with your broker (under the circumstances). Blessings.

Anyway, everyone, please do not flame me but I have entered a ECAD buy already, in anticipation of the news in 90 mins time. I will not be at my platform at that time, and I do not want to possibly lose out. I have entered with reduced lot size, with a wider SL just in case...(this is based on always buying and CAD weakness, I just hope that there is not a retrace after yesterdays CAD move...)

I hope that this works out. I have already missed out on the AUD move just past...Man, I really need to be able to get up @ 3am local time... I used to do it when I worked in the gold mines...but, at 40, the old body does not always want to play ball.

Cheers

Everyone don't forget:

French Flash and German Flash come out 2 minutes before FF listed time!!!! it means at :58 and at :28.
Your trades must be placed at :56 and at :26

Don't get screwed over this time!

Do it like you feel my friend. I'm not the best person to trade like clockwork. As long as you progress.

But if we place our trades 2 mins before the news comes out, how can we know what the data is, which ultimately will effect which way it goes..

Oanda is apologizing for a technical error. Apologies accepted. I'm gonna keep an eye on you. Don't add extra 0's to the spread again pls! And don't hold it until I'm out of breath for Gods SAKE. Almost went in a depression yesterday I was seeing all red. I was lost like a rat at 4:30 am. What a nightmare.
Hey tony what a relief, since yesterday I was also thinking I just open new account with Oanda what is going on with these guys. I hold fund transfer.
Thanks u made my day

Reuters? This one is for whale investors.
ok I'm just kidding... you know to be very honest Reuters is good but you won't be able to read the news and trade it, the spike is faster than a millisecond. You could subscribe but... don't forget a human posts the news. You'll never catch a bullet with your fingers.

Yes I agree with you there, but given it comes out 2 mins before everyone else gets it they have a huge advantage..

I spoke to a manager there and I'm talking honestly here... In about 7 years it has happened once...or twice but the other time it was something else... they didn't respect a SL which they left untouched for about 3 days!!.. other than those 2 occasions nothing. It should be an exception. We will notice the truth tonight with the upcoming FLASH reports. The wide spread shouldn't last more than a few seconds.

No, since the spike comes out 1 millisecond before the news is posted!

Is it safe to assume the second the spike comes out if its down the news is bad and if its up its good though?...

If you'd like to keep an eye on them dukascopy releases a video called 'spike controller' every hour to keep other brokers in check for fairness and manipulation. They also release another one daily for daily and 4 hour bars.. if you go to their site and look the video section titled 'forex and market' you should find it with one click to the right.
