Good Morning everyone I'm new year in the forex as well, i have 2 real acounts at diferents brokers, but yesterday i saw a big mistake between of them. So i'm gonna explain what happened and if someone could give me an explication i will apreciate so much, So the problem was about the candle from yesterday 19pm eur/usd the big one, and in my diferents plataformes mt4 was diferent, i just don't understand why, one give me the low at 1.1286 and high 1.1337 and the other one low 1.1271 and high 1.1360 both at 1h chart, atached image.Please someone...
Forex is OTC (over the counter), there is no central price, each broker and their LPs make their own price. Especially during the news the differences of high/low can be very different between brokers depending on their LP setup. Spread might have been big and the spread-spike itself can set a higher high / lower low than at your other broker. Most likely the broker with the higher high and lower low has a more weak LP setup so that spread spiked more than on your other broker, which MT4 then prints as different highs / lows, even if it was just because of a spread-spike that lasted just 1 tick long. Its just normal unfortunately during such hefty news. If you want a regulated central price, trade Forex Futures instead, that will suit you a lot better then.

{quote} Wouldnt be to sure about this.... since everyone thinks exactly that, it could be priced in already by the traders. So EURUSD might as well drop or do nothing at all. That up-spike we just had that hit the previous high of the last days is also interesting, now the big boys got their previous high hit already and can let it drop...
Well i see the EUR/USD run at least to the previous swing high @ 1.1398 and depending on the stops above it could run even further to 1.1459.

My comments are rather focused on the short term, I made my 40 pips on the first drop, which was what I meant with my comment. But it was the usual game, hit high, hit low, hence kill all stops, then go back where weve been. The previous high was hit right before FOMC already, so it was clear that the first reaction will be a drop to the previous lows, hence I did go short before FOMC. Its all the usual bullcrap of the "big boys" LOL And they get retail traders over and over again with such a simple tactic.

Well... so far so good

I have 3 running trades in this move up.
I just placed my TP around end of my estimated wave iii (around pivot R2)
I changed my SL to just below the low of the daily Heiken Ashi candle (around 1,1280)

mhhh...... we made some tails in the hourly... indicating resistance.
besides that is the count hinting to a retracement. I think we now see a flat...

I closed my trades with 125 pips profit

I'm waiting and hoping we indeed see that flat...for entering again with a buy... if so than this move down must be a 5-wave move (it looks messy for now )

Anyway if we have a break of the 1.1367.... I'm in again for my target of wave iii around 1.1408 (Daily Pivot R2)

As some people have already mentioned. Forex is DEcentralized. That means each broker has it's own liquidity providers and in the big events ( important news, speeches, bank meetings, natural disasters ) it may come to big volatility in market. So high/lows may be different between brokers.

BUT, if you get strange spikes in mid of calm sessions or maybe even near your stop losses then you might reconsider changing your broker, because that practice is called stop hunting ( from your unhonest broker ).

I hope I clarified things for you.

Hi, if you are a buyer, you better set your expectations @1.1395 ...it seems safer if eventually violent rejection happens at the monthly mid + last week's high ...as happened on 21st of Apr.

this move from the last high is not a 5-wave move I think.... So in that case we do not have a flat!

Well in that case...it must be a retracement in the up-move....
Can't make a real thing out of it...it's messy with the slow up-down-up-down moves.... So i must be neutral with a small favor to the upside

The only solution I can make out of this mess is an irregular triangle.....

{quote} means this level is very welcome in my strategy. Had sell signals at diff. time frames at ~avg. /just under/ 1.137xx. The signal comes when price left average at diff time frames (a little more complicated...). This means to me the following: the higher I can sell above 1.137xx, the happier I will be (better R:R, faster fading of upmoves, etc...). In case of fail the loss is less, while due to trailing...
Equilibrium is at 1.114xx, so should leave 1.137xx zone soon. Time will tell.
