Nope... I'm watching E$ on Oanda and nothing else.

Why do you always buy on the news releases? I am just wondering the logic behind this?..

Thanks again

You need to read back some pages of this thread. There is a logic. If you take the effort and the time to understand it you will be more likely to succeed in thìs kind of trading, and develóp your own style accordingly.

IBFX slippage on my last trade = 15. Slippage really can mess this system up!

Tony mentioned that Oanda has NO slippage on stop losses... impressive, but I understood him to say that when the spread widens, it widens on both sides instead of just the buy side. If there is no slippage, I think it is worth the spread problem.

Looking at PA on the higher time frames, looks like accumulation / stop hunts to take price down further???

IBFX is one of the worst. I've seen 60 pips slippage during NFP and watched the platform freeze for 20 seconds during volitile releases with both IBFX and Tradestation Forex (which is just IBFX in a fancy package).

I recently dumped Tradestation Forex and switched to Oanda. I still have an IBFX live nano account I've had for many years... The one where they gave me $100 for opening an account but never deposited anything with them.

I am also looking at Oanda now....

Does Tony get commission from them?

This is very true, I really can see the potential to trading like this as I was thinking about having discovered this thread the other day actually, and then this scenario came into thought very similar to the example given and hit me like a book over the head..
I'll have to read back and find where it somewhere describes the reason for only buying, as this concept is most interesting to me..

It's all about the odds, consistency and risk and money management.

It sure is...with a 1:4 RR I think I've finally found the "Holy Grail" .. And to think it was right there in front of me the whole time..
I really need to put it into practice for myself though, I figure a 1k account with a $50 SL would give me 20 coin tosses. And from there on in its happy tossing..

The "Holy Grail" of trading isn't the system, it's risk and money management

Sorry to say this here, but here in RSA, "tossing" has a totally different meaning, I know what you meant, but your statement made me grin, a lot.

My EUSD short is still hanging in there btw...
