Hey all. Just a quick heads up that I have opened a live account with Oanda (still needs to be funded) in order to try out another type of news trading strategy, I am anxious to see whether they have slippage or not....As per usual, the trade ...

Hey there Sail & NII. Welcome to the journey, let's hope we reach our destination sooner rather than later. I am convinced that we will make it... H

Hi PK, thanks for the reply... I am already pretty much broke, so my going at 1% per pip is not an issue for me at the moment. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, when equity increases (I can only afford to fund with pocket change ...

I checked, the move on Draghi's speech last night, looks like that downward spike was a stop hunt, taking out the short pendings for volume to go up... Cheers H

Central Banks & Big Players

Well done NII.... This gets my goat though. Yesterday, the speech was scheduled for 8 am local time...Going in this morning, I see that it changed to 5:30 local time, so, I missed out on that move too... Aw man, I need to catch a break...that would ...

Believe me, I have wanted to tear the trade explorer down more than once this month... It feels crappy taking loss and even crapier sharing it with the whole inter-web thingy... But, the sun will shine tomorrow, I think. H

I may just exclude Draghi's speeches as well, man, price drifts upwards and then the bottom falls out by around 40 pips to ruin my days stats...Ag well, that is the way the banana bends I guess H

I got out of my UCAD pendings, so I missed that blip... Concerning EURGBP, again there is the GBP component that I, personally, am not fond of, but that pair in general is, well, for lack of a better word, for me, blech...for Draghi's speech I will ...

Well, that news seems to be a snoozefest. Aw man, every time I post about a position it gets stopped out... That E$ position was stopped out for +45 pips. Seeing as I did not adjust lot size downwards after the previous 3 (!!!3!!!) losses of ...

I don't really look at fundamentals or technicals to be honest, if that is what you are driving to. At the moment I have an E$ trade open from earlier today (German IFO), so to avoid muddling the waters there, I am looking at going with UCAD, spread ...

Anyone going on German IFO? I am, see you on the other side of the release. H

Central Banks & Big Players

And you experienced slippage upon entering??? If so, run, run far away...If your SL got slipped, that is another story... H

I have also just realised something else ( I am on a roll here ) With this method ( and any other I suppose ) to be successful (profitable) in trading, you should endeavor to keep your lot sizes the same, regardless if you lost the previous ...
