Looks like they added that spread to both the bid & ask...surely that is not right??? I have sent their front desk and email as well, and am waiting for their reply. H

Well done Niko, the pairs that I had chosen show absolutely no intent of going anywhere, so you have done well my friend. (I traded EURCAD & AUDCAD) H

Central Banks & Big Players

My original account is with an ECN and I was experiencing slippages on my stops (between 15 & 30 pips) with them so I am trying Oanda because of that. Both are running side by side, so we will see... H

Central Banks & Big Players

I have sent an email to the Oanda rep that promised me the moon and the stars, regarding the spread widening of around 28 pips. I shall wait for his reply and see what happens... H

Central Banks & Big Players

What I do not understand at the moment about Oanda, I entered 2 mins before news time, set my SL at 14 pips and I still got stopped out, that means that spread widening was in excess of 28 pips seeing as they split the spread in two and add half to ...

It seems that Oanda widened spread beyond 14 pips on EUR/CAD to take out my position... tsk tsk My other broker didn't, you just can't win with these guys can you?

Props to Dvanderlinde....(or was it Pipkiller, I think it was Pipkiller...) I have changed my lot size on both platforms to reflect my equity balance, on the assumption that I will be losing every news trade that I enter, meaning that my account ...

Nail on the head my friend, I have the same struggle, but, mine translates into revenge trades....I can say with pride though, I did not revenge this bugger... H

Central Banks & Big Players

I know that the actual only slipped the forecast by .1%, but, still it should have been bad for EUR, and the original direction confirmed that, but now the EUR is strengthening, WTF? Anyway, I am waiting for CAD later in the day. Who's in, or am I ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Yes and no, what if it did not whipsaw like that and continued downwards? I would have rather taken the loss than wondered "what if?" But that is me.... H

Central Banks & Big Players

Well, that was f**K you wasn't it? H Glad I am following the rules, in the knowledge that not every trade will do that...on to the next one...

EUR CPI move looks like a stop hunt to the downside.... H

[quote=dvanderlinde;7372363] Nah just around FF and Baby pips haha I just look for obvious places where the trend changes or will bounce to continue. Maybe it was just a lucky week for me but hope I can still be in the green next week /quote] I ...

Hi Tony, thanks for letting us know which trades you will be entering. If I may be so forward, would you mind letting us know which pairs you intend going on, or are you keeping it the "major" "majors"? Good luck to all this week. H

Central Banks & Big Players

Well done...looking at your results and mine, you must have been selling when I was buying, and buying when I was selling I tried PA, and at the moment I do not have the mental marbles to do that. One of the reasons why I like Tony's ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Erm, what happened in the Euro at 9GMT? Looks like a sudden 30 pip drop??? H
