Cat - Capital Group one min chart 12.06/7 L 920 H 948 and 12.07/8 L922.7 H950.8. Hope this helps...
Thanks! First time I've seen this sort of discrepancy, and I have both broker's charts open in front of me all the time. When Intertrader spiked 30 pips in less than a second and IG did nothing, I wondered what the hell was going on.

{quote} How come? at 12UK it hit 11906 from above, hence this must've been a limit order, to be able to enter long.
Maybe we have different price feeds. The low of the 15 minute candle opening at 12 noon ws above 11910 for me. And I closed manually just before the news.

Hi Medici, great to see you back posting! Hope to continue to learn from your posts.

My entries are off tick charts. I use trendlines heavily to keep me out of noise but also to trigger some trades.

Your entry was a classic trade setup and trigger for me. Bounce off a round number and the trigger is a break of the downtrend line.

However i don't use pending orders

Here's the chart.

Thank you!, rate hikes? no inflation at the moment, the oil war continues, next year presidential elections. Worried me if they want to rise the oils prices because a easy way is provoke a war in a hot zone.

My battlefield now in the attach , if move up i seek for shorts and viceversa.

regards

Guess we are missing smth here. Today's low is 11903 and it happened at 12.55 CET. Do you mean to say that you placed your buy stop order just 3 points above as the price hit the day's low to enter long?

With this move in Oil, it could be a sign of full reversal, should it break 47,337 intraday.. and then aim 48+ for a weekly close. Also Gold approaching 1200 and SaP ready to break 2095. So could be first intraday signs of reversal of USD bull. Pretty important h4 movement in my charts now. Could mark daily...weekly..month . USD bulls still holding upper hand, but this could be start of monthly bounce.

Not sure if this is called risk-off move.

Am quite heavy both accounts . Nothing to do in currencies. But watching that reversal. Oil very very interesting place now. Loaded first few little USD shorts actually.

Edit: Btw, I think I always fack up account when I post here too much, coz that Daxie is too fast for me to type stuff here. Think I would better stop posting so much. Sorry.

Well best is BE... trying my best. But is very hard for me, as when I get bearish chop, I sometimes fail thx to loading on BO, (like 11950 BO a while ago) and beeing chop, BO trade is in fact top of intraday bearish wave. Sometimes I slowly recognize...

edit:... btw, was SaP move, see that massive correct of 2095? oh.

Hello old friend, long time no see! Good to hear that you are doing well

Yes, trading solo from home gets a bit lonely, and some harmless banter can brighten it up.

This time around I have no ambition to be didactive. I found that if you teach people something that works, they take it away and tweak it to their taste...and it no longer works as before. Nothing wrong with that. I guess it's in human nature, and I would never trade somebody else's method.

So I'd rather stay at general principles, such as "absolutely no manual entries", and let people do their own research.

Thanks for chart. Is that IB's CFDs?
