Another one... I got out at +30 pips (stop was 25 pips), because there was a small resistance on the hourly chart there... image Regards - Xaron

5Min Intraday System

My best trade so far this morning, good for 50 pips. image This one was bad luck, but I didn't followed my new rules (below) closely... image Stopped out exactly to the pip. I use some different rules now: EUR/USD: SL: 20 pips, TP: 40 pips ...

What do you mean with "only short trades"? That's not possible. It's a stop and reverse system... Regards - Xaron

Martingale Baggio Method

Rama, sorry to hear that. To tell the truth, I had exactly the same GBP/USD position open! I closed it by hand some pips above the tp (around 2.0140, it was a short position) with a small loss. Luckiliy I had no USD/JPY position open at that time as ...

Martingale Baggio Method

Yep, I second that. I use this EA in my small live account with great results. I know, the day will come where a margin call occurs... So thanks Rama, your EA is rocksolid. Just one comment: If I use mm=true, the lot size is too big. I use a ...

Martingale Baggio Method

I know it's risky. But I've noticed that I was right in the most cases, but the stop was too tight. Regards - Xaron

5Min Intraday System

Sure, it's simple. The rules are the ones on page #1. Changes: Stop: 40 pips TP: 10 pips Entry #1 with 1 lot (mini, micro or whatever) between EMA 10 and 21 (as usual) Entry #2 with 1 lot 20 pips below only if the tp wasn't reached with the first ...

5Min Intraday System

Hey all, hope you're doing well? I still use this system but with wider stops (like Willem) and multiple entries. That way I have a very high success rate. Of course you have to be disciplined to take only the good setups. Regards - Xaron

Yes, but that's normal. Even with an ECN it's hard to get good fills today. Don't blame Oanda for that. Regards - Xaron

Oanda Platform Problems

Oh I see. I don't use them. But this kind of slippage is the same for all market makers. Usually I get requotes or a worse price. Regards - Xaron

OANDA Discussion

No, it isn't. Slippage happens everywhere. It's rare at Oanda, in most cases I get the fill I want to have (limit orders). Regards - Xaron

OANDA Discussion

That's because the margin requirements refer to the first currency (in that case EUR). So with a 1,000 EUR account you can buy/sell 50,000 units at 1:50. With a dollar account you could buy 50,000 units for every USD/XXX pair... Regards - Xaron

Smallest Forex Margin Available?

There seems to be a lot of confusion. The max leverage a broker offers (1:50 at Oanda) doesn't mean that you really use it. It's more the amount of margin which is used. Example: Your account is $100K. Leverage: 50:1 That means that you can buy up ...

Smallest Forex Margin Available?

No, it doesn't matter. I've tested it with unit sizes of 3,000 - 30,000 and 300,000. All got the same fill with the same small slippage. You can limit the slippage with upper and lower bounds but might not get filled if the slippage exceeds the ...

where can i find a list of rollover fee for carry trades ?

Of course you don't need a high success rate. If you use microlots it takes more than 4 trades with a stop of 30 to halve your account. Regards - Xaron

Have you ever turned $250 into an account > $1000

You don't need a high success rate. Regards - Xaron

Have you ever turned $250 into an account > $1000

Yes. Their spread is usually 20 pips for GJ and 10 pips for UJ. I don't know how they handle that. Yes, it would be possible. Probably Oanda will widen spreads in that case. Sometime the price moves bit during the weekend. I think they calculate the ...
