{quote} I had a short just under where you went long on EURJPY, closed it this morning for about 10 pips profit, good job really considering todays movement I took a loss on my gbpaud long position, for some reason when my stop was hit the position didn't close so I took a pretty heavy hit. I also had a few orders yesterday which weren't hit by a pip or two, out of frustration I moved my high risk trading account funds over to a new ctrader ecn account where the spreads are as tight as a ducks arse, but for some reason the candles are off...
It's been a breakout week. It would be damn useful if there was a way of foretelling whether it's going to be a reversal type of week or a breakout one. I think the writing was on the wall after what happened with gbpaud; everything just seemed to follow suit.

It's late and I'm not placing any trades now, but here's one for when the market re-opens, providing nothing crazy happens .

You like your alcohol up north . Are you going to follow that up with a radioactive pig out again?

This week Australia posted a trade balance over 5 times more than forecasted. For the last 20 years or so, Australia's economy has grown mainly because of its natural resources, resources that China wants. China will probably want to tighten the screws. Interesting.

Of course, what else is there to do up here? I'll have to see if the local takeaways are selling any special Chernobyl lamb kebabs

I can tell you that every professional trader uses 2 platforms. So even if you're changing platform to MT4, which other platform will you use? The real question is, which data feed is the most current? The platform of Currenex, DukaScopy? There are only a handful good platforms to look at, then in your MT4 platform you can open trades. Let me know if you've decided to use another platform for data feed.

{quote} I trade mostly the 24 major pairs so most of what you put up are not on my list at least. but audznd i am eying to short 0730 area.. audchf same deal looking to get in on Pb from old sup discussed above posts.. nzdusd and eurnzd for the time being nothing to me they are in no mans-land atm.
AUDNZD:
Printscreen of AUDNZD: Smart Money sees that macd is so oversold it could burn through your screen about now. As ellioter the Elliot rhythm seems legit.

I think you mean the 1.0730 of audnzd.
I've put a buy order at 1.0458 in case of a spike but I'm positive it won't break the double bottom in the monthly chart. Which bearish signals can you see atm, then I can take it into account?

Just closed couple of yesterdays trades for about +70 each. {image} {image} {image} {image}
How do you trade to make profit? Personally, I trade all currency pairs, I always use SL (with 1:1 to 1:4 Risk-Ratio (so SL at 20 pips, TP at 80 pips). I want to learn the best strategy of using trailing stop because I'm bad at seeing when market price is going all the way down or up. Do you have tips for me? Thank you so much!

Check this out guys.. look how broker screwed me out of my tp.. I know it was news time but look at the gap and chaotic pa.. most likely the widen of spread got something to do with it, overall it cost me there unfortunetly.. cool 70+piper not capitalized.. now this better make it there today or %$%$ else.... lol {image}
Even with a trailing stop of 20 pips you would have made a huge amount. Or did you use a trailing stop?

{quote} keb I hope it drops for you.. but the damn thing has kept going higher and higher ever since mid 2012.. lol
you were right, eurcad went higher and higher. It's now about to go short, maximum 350 pips. I would look for a buy entry at 1.5070, because:
- down swings go down about 350 pips max.
- bounces at MA50

I have a question about macd, because many forex teachers say A, then he says B, then he says A. So I'm confused.
1. Which bullish signal is better?
a) if both macd line and signal line are above zero line + macd line crosses above signal line
b) if both macd line and signal line are below zero line + macd line crosses above signal line

I took a stab at the NFP here with half load.. since eu is at 2year high and crossing over solid resistant to add positive job number.. it makes it ok risk.. lets see how it plays out. {image}
I also want to first see confirmation that EU goes down. Lots of traders (77% of all traders on forexfactory) already took the trade and went down:

Doesn't that say something?

Also what does NFP mean?

Relaxing, enjoying the sun and making use of the saying, better 10 sun rays in the sky, than 1 sun ray in your hand. Everyone is relaxing at the weekend especially full-time traders. I can still count my profit so I'm still not a billionaire. Though, how would one become a billionaire and when he trades where would he start a trade with maximum lot size?

I used ctrader for scalping as I find it's ideal for it, I may have a look at another broker who also uses ctrader and see if their candles are behaving the same as this current one. Do any of you use IC Markets? what do you think of them?
