Hmmm, I just realised something.... All this talk about slippage and brokers, means that ten to one, we are not trading this method as set out by Tony. I know that I am not trading it the way he intended. If you enter a long 2 mins before news, then ...

Do I understand you correctly, Oanda makes themselves guilty of freezing platform etc etc just like the other bucket shops when it comes to scalping? H

Snagit is a very nice programme that does just that, you can trial it (14 days I think) and if you like it I think it goes for something like US$ 50. I have to choose between funding my account on a monthly basis with that or buying Snagit...Funding ...

I feel that you should do what works for you at that given point in time, if news event trading is not for you, then don't make a square peg fit into a round hole. If scalping is your bag then you have answered your own question. Just make sure that ...

You know, I was checking out their web page and they do make mention of slippage etc...I guess we would have to physically trade with them to have experience??? H

Never mind the traders, looks like Oanda could be the big beneficiary of this method Hey, as long as I can make a buck too, then it's all good I spose. H

Central Banks & Big Players

OIC, thanks. Are you using Oanda as well?? H

Central Banks & Big Players

Peeps. Is there a way to export all of these news calenders to Excel? This would allow me to print out the whole months events, makes notes on them etc etc... Is there another way to do that? H

Central Banks & Big Players

I *think* it has something to do with the spread?? H

Central Banks & Big Players

Thought so, thanks big guy. H

What I don't "like" about Oanda is their very low leverage. What I do "like" about Oanda is their very low leverage. Confused much? Trading with Oanda is going to be like going cold turkey off of filterless cigarettes and trying the ultra low ...

BTW Peoples, what are the odds?? I have checked, and every-time that I have been slipped on one of my pendings it has been between 150 & 155 points (15 to 15.5 pips) never less, never more...now that sounds fishy to me... My broker is an STP / ECN ...

Hi Claudius. No, I am not "strictly" following Tony's rules at the moment. I am testing things out for myself at the moment. With this method, 1) I like the fact that with trading news you know when to trade, what to trade and that movement in the ...

My EU short (German Flash) has now officially covered my losses from this mornings French Flash. Took a while, but I won't complain. Hopefully that slide will continue... H

Thanks Pipkiller. The reason I ask, I understand that MT4 has what are termed "plug-ins" and it is my understanding that the broker can use these plug-ins to eviscerate your account...Not that anything would stop a broker from doing the same with a ...

Pipkiller, Tony or anybody else using Oanda, which platform are you using, their FXtrade or MT4? Is their FXtrade web based or what? Cheers & thanks H

Sorry to say this here, but here in RSA, "tossing" has a totally different meaning, I know what you meant, but your statement made me grin, a lot. My EUSD short is still hanging in there btw... H

Central Banks & Big Players

I am also looking at Oanda now.... Does Tony get commission from them? H

Looking at PA on the higher time frames, looks like accumulation / stop hunts to take price down further??? H
