911 : very good short entry level, but if I understand correctly, you would have just taken it immediately, whereas I would have waited for it to trade through a few ticks, then placed my Stop Limit at 910, ie. price would have to reverse short ...

Example of negative offset Stop Limit order not being filled just now : image (for FX traders unfamiliar with Stop Limit orders : once price hits the entry price, which in this example was 88, the Stop Limit converts immediately to a Limit order ...

I used to see Zola from time to time in Cafe Nero in London's South Kensington (a few mins down the road from Stamford Bridge), late '90s or so; Graeme Le Saux would be there too. Good coffee. My Dad lived round the corner.

There's something not quite right about a World Cup without Italy & The Netherlands...

DAX Futures June 2018

Haha... unfortunately, not even close ...and whilst on the subject of Dutch football, I've said it many times before and I'll say it again : I STILL haven't forgiven NL for losing the World Cup Final in '74 <arms folded> (clearly, ...

I hear you, handy : I just put a Stop Limit order at 40 after the low of the day broke to 37, but it didn't fill (I use a 1 tick negative offset, so this will happen from time to time); it has reached +20 so far. When these SL orders don't fill, I ...

I bought what I perceived as a failed triple break short @ 946.50, dumped very quickly at -4 ticks, re-entered at 43.5 a moment later - 2B formation - but, as with most counter-trend trades, exited quickly @ +14. image

Making me nervous and I'm only watching from the cheap seats !

I hear you, B, but I do feel it would be better for me to use 50 units x Ger30 (€5 per point, no commission, typical 1 point spread, 0.1 granularity) versus 1 x contract FDXM (also €5 point, €3.70 or so commission - I have a platform fee in there - ...

Very nervy first day back live FDAX : "In, out, shake it all about", with the emphasis on shake & out. My horizontal line this morning was the same as the Friday Open, although I drew it before realising that (btw, my horizontal lines are sometimes ...

Neither hope nor haiku will lead you to mastery. ”When the time comes, the Way becomes clear”. Until then, stay $ solvent, alert & centred (& nothing wrong with a 9 - 5 to pay the bills : a very sensible idea imho). Thanks for the polyphasic link ...

In this market, F is for Freudian.... (all quiet on the jtrade front, 2 hr late school today after truly outstanding concert last night : 200+ kids + orchestra performing "The Armed Man : A Mass for Peace") I am contemplating C ...

Lucky boys and girl I thought there was a way to only be charged around 12,5% tax as a trader in Italy, although perhaps you make too many trades to be classified in that way... (when I return to Italy, I will need to refamiliarise myself with ...

I understand you convert your FDXM trades into FDAX, but may I check if by "40,5 pips FDAX" you mean ticks or points (points would be 81 ticks, which would be EUR 1012.50 ex commission or 202.5 FDXM points) ? Anywhichway, great trading in recent ...

Speaking of MP (non-analysis in my case) - and using about the simplest MP chart imaginable - what is my MP telling me that I cannot also see on the grouped Opens and Closes of the M30 candles ? Would anyone care to comment, please, or is it too ...

Hmmm... sitting on my hands watching the world & trades go by, staring at my new, utterly-meaningless-to-me MP chart - while Master B operates his DAX ATM . If I was in more dynamic mode, here are the 4 trades that asked to be taken : ...
