Next Week — FXCM talking about a possible short term retracement after the NFP release and spike up. Should provide a good short entry position next week, perhaps around 1.25000, but could easily be a bit higher or lower - I'm guessing this is ...

Very nice entries there. That's really stress free (well as much as you could expect...). Result is damn good too.

Thanks a lot LL. Will have to have a look at this. Regards, Ozefex.

Drzeep - Great trading! Now just repeat that next week...and next week... I've had a good few days so now have some tight stops on EU and have closed out a few AU & GU shorts. Have mostly tried to add to positions while moving stop losses along as I ...

Trailing Step EA — I had a look at the code for this one & a couple of others and couldn't see how they worked. Also tried to search for a solution without luck so far. It's good that people make these things available, but I wish they would ...

My AUDCHF short is looking okay, but has bounced off support at 0.94000 (round number levels again). Looks like it should penetrate this level so I'll let it run.

So I got brave & decided to post this one - my weakest position at the moment. Traded on the H4 with reference to daily & weekly.

That's great! Can't wait to see the screen shot. I didn't post any of mine current ones as didn't have time. Have a short AUDCHF that I didn't analyse too well. It looked okay in isolation, but I didn't look at the strength of the USDCHF which ...

Some nice moves in the last few hours vs. USD, JPY, CHF. All seem consistent with fundamental issues while breaking through support. I have small short trades on AU, AC, NU, AJ. Woke up this morning to some nice profits, better than early in the ...

I've had 2 shorts & a long (couple of hours ago) on A/U. All have been stopped out... I was convinced it was continuing down, then got the spike up on Monday, then decided it was turning up. Now I know I don't know! It seems to be at a long term ...

Thanks — Hugh, Thanks very much for starting this thread and for the work you have put in to it. I understand that you need a break to concentrate on your own trading. Sometimes sharing your thoughts can help you formulate and comfirm your ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

That sounds about right. I fogot the fact that I'm still using a work laptop (so I can catch a few trades during the day) but can't run MT4 or an EA all the time. That was one of the reasons I was looking at a VPS. I'll continue with the manual ...

8 ema vs 100 sma for trailing sl — Hugh, I was looking at this last night and thought I'd prefer a trail on a smaller ma but with a buffer of 30 - 40 pips (maybe more). While a 100 sma may be good for a long term trend, it can take a while to ...

It was there - (dare I say) just not on that time frame.... (I meant to post on the 15 min HA & Stochs thread)

First Live — First live trade for a few years. Saw a chance to short EURUSD and quickly move to BE +2 so I don't care if it retraces. It's worth a try & will cover my $1.40 commission on a 0.2 lot with 1:400 leverage. (Using account with low ...

AUDJPY — Yep, a move down to the 73 / 72 level is quite possible, then the carry trade is looking good. Unless of course we go back down to 50.

AUDUSD — Evening Hugh... I'll be waiting for that. Seems most of the moves down have started during late London / early US sessions. Not quite the right time for me at the moment (up at 4 am today as it is). Latest article in Bloomberg paints ...

In most situations, if the broker (or company) has no money, legal action will not help. It will just cost you more. One method that I am using to minimise risk is to use the maximum leverage possible, then reduce your lot size by the same ...

Is your money safe with your broker?

AUD — Damn, the Aussie is down 200 pips from where I was last night! If only I'd taken my entry on the pullback instead of the low looking for a continuation I'd still be in it. I've had a few entries on lows that have done the same thing ...

EUR/GBP Trade — Another problem with EG at the moment is that it's sitting above the 0.8000 level which acted as a very strong resistance level back in 2007/2008 (before the GFC to you young guys!). Apart from the fact I don't have a good feel ...
