That's the thing. I tried the same day 1 kinda math & the numbers above do not add up. They're off by quite a bit so I know it's not due to rounding or denomination of account in USD vs other currencies or anything obvious like that. It's a head scratcher... still

I've found my trade explorer never has any freaking clue what its talking about. Big departure on percentages and always behind on my trades. At one point it was showing me 34% up when it was closer to 21% or something. Draw downs were exaggerated as well. Deposits seem to screw it up even more.

{quote} 1 Lot = 10$ a pip
Absolutely... 1 standard lot is 10$ a pip so.... of course 3 lots would be $30 a pip so on & so forth.

It appears to aggregate my position sizes. Most of my positions were anywhere from .1 > .4 with several others anywhere in between with many opened at any given time from different levels. My level of risk with all open positions accounted for was never more than .9 or 1.0

Although it should be priced it in, we might see a large spike down when the QE announcement formally hits. It should overshoot and might be a decent entry for a larger entry long. Does anyone know when the announcement is likely (I read within a few weeks or so). Curious of others' views on this.

EUR/USD couldn't break below the support at 1.1750, formed a hammer candlestick and a double bottom, both visible in the four hour filter chart, and then started climbing. It appears that some correction is in order and the pair will keep climbing until it reaches targed 1.1920, where there is strong resistance.

Things of that nature aren't priced in.

You can tell someone you are going to punch them in the face a million times, when you finally do it still hurts like hell and you weren't ready for it.

is it normal for the broker to have an official spread of 3 pips on the eurusd?

is it normal that the spread is often 4 or 5 pips in practice?

why is it that despite the spread they still always show 2 pips more difference between netdenia charts and their price? and always against the trader from what i see?

is this common practice? was thinking of testing XM to see if things are different.

what cause this bullish ? just normal bounce when price hit bottom / the OIL NEWS ? or any? i nid advice please, i want to know.
The fed came back out and restated this week that they are going to be watching inflation data for guidance on a rate hike. The market definately is counting on hikes starting mid-summer and have a good chunk of that priced in currently. The NFP today printed a pretty good number, but wages fell (deflationary). In addition, next friday US CPI is due and expected to be down (deflationary). If deflation digs in, the fed might not be able to hike. This, fundamentally is what caused the retrace today. Next friday you will want to watch CPI (its key).. If data keeps showing deflation becomming more evident, we could get a nice retrace here.
