After a slow start to the week I caught a nice sell on EA H1 this morning.

Helped along by Draghi's speech at LO it was good for +100 in 1.5hrs (Or more importantly +8%, whilst risking 2%)

Done for the day

if its under 50, and tdi crosses down, is it high probably trade? vice versa for over 50

Unbelievable how TMS changed the way of my trading - Still doing it on demo with bad money management, but when i manage to trade like this for the next 2 - 3 months i will go live again.

Thanks to y'all for this !!!

Missed TP by a bit, I closed because it would retrace too deeply, and I'd rather not be exposed. Options laying around also, hence chances for downside...

There is alot of complaints concern about brokers spiking spreads to take out people's stop losses on other threads, see thread on broker discussion on FXCM.

To avoid this I am experimenting with hedging and rather than using a stop order I am putting in entry order opposite direction to my original position once the loss limit is reached on the original position. This stems the potential loss getting worse and also gives me time to study and identify appropriate exit or even re-entry points. It also avoids the risk of being taken out by low liquidity spread spikes. Yesterday I was 100 hundred down on position and doing this managed to turn the trade sequence into around a 200 net profit (demo I hasten to add).

I appreciate people with US brokers can't do this but for us in other parts of the world we can, as long as we use a no dealing desk broker.

Grateful for people's thoughts and ideas experience on this.

Woke up to 2 good things. My take profit got hit at 40 pips, but apparently FXCM gave me profit for a 60 pip win? I've calculated it over and over to see if I was mistaken, but I'm not. Weird, but I'll take it

I think FXCM are incompetent and god only knows how they operate things.

Last week they closed one of my trades at 8:30 GMT on a Sunday. The market wasn't even open! I have asked them repeatedly for explanation but their reps are stumped and can give no reason and keep promising that someone will follow up but they don't. All they did say problem with account open a new one. It is almost like their entire system is a set up contrived by them. It is only demo so I am not bothered but, from this and what I have read elsewhere about FXCM I would be a fool to open a real account with them.

PS Mind you if they have made a mistake against their own interest they may be more "competent" to address it than the other way round.
