I have friends in both Russia and Ukraine and my heart goes out to all citizens alike...I realize that the Ukraine in on the verge of bankruptcy however do the Crimean Russians really think they will have it better siding with Russia? 95% of Russian wealth is controlled by the Banksters, Politicians, and Oligarch Mafia..the ruble has tumbled and $60 billion devaluation in companies over the last two weeks..The pro-Russian former Prez Yanokovich built a $50 million dollar mansion, while the rest of the population lives hand to mouth!! Absolute power corrupts, absolutely!!!...OK thanks for letting me rant...Back to Forex!!

This, unfortunately happens everywhere my friend, it's just the poorer the country, the more apparent the vulgarity of the ruling class becomes...I hope your friends are okay...

Excellent thread! Very entertaining and looks like a very good method you have going here.

I have read through the thread but need to clarify something. On p1 the method describes "STOP-LOSS must be re-configured at the listed distances in the last few seconds before the news comes out, to avoid an instant loss due to spread widening". In the thread it looks like everyone is entering the trade 2mins before the news with the appropriate stop loss and just leaves it as is. Am I misunderstanding this? Is there a technique involved that I am missing?

I will test this on a demo to get the hang of it, but it will be helpful if I practice the correct way from the start.

Thanks

Hello guys,

I've been trading for about 4 years so far, but I have to admit that I still haven't very clear in my mind the leverage concept. I know I am about to ask very stupid questions, have pity on me... :-D

Why, Tony, do you use 1:50 leverage? And not a higher one? Why is that so important if you have a tight SL anyway? Does it allow to use more lots?

If I am not wrong Oanda gives 1:50 max leverage.. i think in simple words leverage is loan given by broker to trade..

This thread doesn't have anything to do with what you have been posting. We don't care about politics or long term predictions about the market. Also, I don't think anyone in here is trading stocks (SPX500).

Last week you said that the SPX500 would go below 1800 and USD/JPY would fall below 99.80.

It still hasn't happened and even if it does your timing is bad and even if your timing was good, nobody cares because we trade high impact economic news here and nothing else.

Hey guys, so I think i will be unable to continue trading this style at least with dukascopy due to their ridiculous slippage (60 pips slippage)

this is the email i got

Greetings, We have received your inquiry and have reviewed your order below: EUR/AUD - Position #28424465 Unfortunately our findings concur with the previous findings that the relatively large slippage is the result of market news volatility at the time of execution of your order. Regarding your claim that the order should not have been executed due to slippage control: kindly bear in mind that slippage control does not apply to Stop Loss orders. All stop Loss orders have unlimited maximum slippage, as the priority of SL is to Close the position. Slippage control only apply to Market orders or Entry Stop orders. We remain at your disposal should you need any additional information, Kind regards,


I'm not sure if I should switch strategies, change brokers or stick to USD based pairs (for more liquidity?) at this point... any input? advice? suggestions?

Hi nitecop,

Many of these non ECN brokers have their way of making extra pips for themselves,but 60 pip slips - just not acceptable.I suggest you to find a decent one.

Hi Nitecop,
dukascopy is safest, low spread broker. If they dont guarantee slippage control of SL orders(only buy,sell stop,market orders) why dont you take buy and sell stop(7 pips away cureent market price) 1 min before release(also you can take only buy side of 2 different pairs)? What is their max spread at news time?
