15 December 2014 I am now comfortable with the mobile trade station and started trading today with my live account. I made a couple of mistakes in judgement, but I ended in the black. Here are my results for the day.

Jason, I suspected it was because of the NFA FIFO rule, but your explanation of using the summary rather than the open tabs help me understand the rational. I appreciate FXCM supporting the Mobile Trade Station. I am moving to the mobile trade ...

FXCM Discussion

Jason, Thank you for the response. At the time I only had one position open with a limit and SL order. Are you saying that if I want to close the position by market price that I have to use the summary tab rather than the open tab?

FXCM Discussion

Jason, I am trying to get familiar with the functions of the mobile trade station. I do not ,know how to close a trade at market price rather than letting a stop loss or limit order close the trade. When I tap on the "close" tab on the open order ...

5 December 2014 The price was barely moving so I tightened my SL for my long position of the USD/JPY. I was stopped out at 120.059 for a 2.1 pip gain. I may have better results when the London session opens.

The Leading Indicators for Japan were released 1 hour ago so I entered to buy the USD/JPY.

My decision to sell the USD/JPY was wrong. It did not go to 119.66 so it looks like that immediate low will hold. I will look to buy later tonight. I was stopped out at 119.829 for a 8.7 pip loss.

I am watching the 5 minute bars because I am going to move my SL into the black until the price breaks below the 119.66 range. I want to make sure it will go past 119.66;
