yea I guess ,I guess thats what hda sees ,but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with institutional accounts specifically , {quote}
Yeah I really don't know either. I suppose anything can be available for the right price.

I don't think you "need" an institutional account to purchase (rent?) a tier II feed. I think the feed just comes with an institutional account. For what it take to open one, it better! LOL

in long @ 1.6570 , t / p : open , s / l : 1.6519 {image}
Taking half off @ 1.6620 for +50 pips and letting the rest run...

The position is now risk-free. Why?
Because : 1.6620 - 1.6570 = +0.0050
realized half => 1/2 x 0.0050 = +0.0025
Remaining risk @ 1.6520 => 1/2 x -0.0050 = -0.0025
=> 0.0025 - 0.0025 = 0 i.e. risk-free.


Folks please note :
THIS is proper risk management , NOT adding to losers and averaging without a stop loss !


Keeping the remaining position open like this:

long @ 1.6570

t / p : open

s / l : 1.6520

I would never argue another's risk management. It is, and always will be a personal calculation and choice. But I agree 100% a stop loss level (total risk allowed for a trade or sequence of trades) should ALWAYS be assessed and calculated before entering.

Folks have all kinds of definitions for "adding to losers" though. Scaling into an area you have predetermined through proper analysis to be a good place for price to turn is not one of them in my book. If you're only guessing about that area, and then you keep adding as price moves away, THAT would not be a good thing.

{quote} {quote} {quote} I will look into longs after 6597 is hit.
There is no way around 6597, we either hit it now and can continue the upmove or it will come back to it later.

Probably splitting pips here but I see 1.6604 (or 1.6600) as the more important support. Small break of 2 swing-points @ 1.6597 but not much momentum so maybe not too important as resistance. Low volume day so probably all is irrelevant but if this was all on a normal volume day this is the way I'd look at it. It might just drift right through both levels today. Could be wrong of course.

Scratch that, its already invalid. Anything above 6600 should be a good long.

Stopped out of long @ 1.6610 for +42.
Waiting for re-entry long @ lower prices, maybe even new lows for this cycle. We'll see.
