Very disappointed, my broker froze the platform 1 min before news and it only came back 3 mins after the news....I think that they may be on to me..

I hope you have a reliable broker. My previous broker fried my account when I straddled the markets and nearly doubled my account in one week. The first instance was when he moved my gold pending order from where I had placed. I had placed it at say 1654.00 and was moved to 1645.03. I would have thought I had made a mistake, but the .03??? I had entered with a round number, manually. And to finish me off, was a spread of 60 pips on Eur/ Usd, which again hit my SL of 30 pips. 60% of my account was wiped out. I have never straddled since then.

Forex is hard enough without the brokers shafting you thats for sure.

That gold order you talk about could have been slippage. I recently have had to stop straddle trading as the slippage from the broker is too much...my order opened about 15 pips away from where I set it. Unacceptable. Not sure if it will be any better clicking the buy / sell button manually...but the pending, buy stops or sell stop orders get slipped badly.

Has anyone noticed increased "freezing" of the MT4 platform since the version 4.00 Build 600 update was foisted upon us? I think that this may be my problem...Although the freezing was never as long and as "opportune" as this mornings...

BTW, anyone looking at JOLTS today?

Worth a couple of pips?

Dukascopy for sure, i traded nfp in jpy with the spread never going above 2 it was mostly around 0.6 or less i got in at 0.2


from their customer service and free services it almost feels like they're trying to make me win or something lol (makes sense)


my worst was varengold... the problem is they are very opaque and hold all cards to themselves even between what they offer to clients ever since i will never go to

any metatrader based broker i just don't trust opaque brokers due to possible conflict of interest.

The moment i switched i noticed the same strategies started working.. strange huh?

Here, it is raining and the cat food is wet

Anyway, I read somewhere that the market has been expecting and increase in NZD rate for sometime, so the rate news may not be the driver, but rather the speech / comment afterwards. Would that cause some whipsaw?

I am in it to win it (prolly long EURNZD / long NZYJPY), but this is my first NZD news event, so I am unsure of what to expect...any insight please?

Cheers
