I don't scalp, I totally flat refuse to it's stupid, 1 stop out wipes out 5 perfectly good scalps. Unfortunately, my luck sucks, never seem to take more than 6pips on any trade, market stalls around there for hours and hours on end until eventually ...

Scalpers Go Here

Whats up with these 20+ point runs that keep reversing, keeps getting my hopes up then dashing them on large rocks. My indicators are indicating a possibly turn upwards, someone is loading up LARGE blocks so suspects something good . Shoulda bailed ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Got to avoid all news times, in theory 50% chance it'll be in your favour 50% chance it won't be so all breaks even, but sadly they do that spike 1 way then reverse deal at the moment, stopping everyone out before the big move. Pain getting out ...

Fundamentals keep screwing my purely Technical strategy

Yep back to normal here Sure didn't ask to be swapped to Direct, but they did, I assumed they'd put me on manual trades, but nope. Stay the hell away from it, it sounds better in everyway, but really really isn't.

FXCM new no dealing desk platfrm

GBP makes a good trading tool thanks to this, but Watch the EUR/USD for signs.

Why does the GBP/USD have so much more Velocity than the other majors?

-3pips here today, mainly due to FXCM and putting me on that stupid impossible to get filled direct crap. ( e-mailed swapped me back thankfully ) 12hour SMA capped it on that spike, 40min turning down, and threating to break 2hour sma. Watch the ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Well they swapped me to None Dealing Desk, recently without me asking. Trades where taking 10seconds to go through and pretty much always have a message pop up, can't do it bla bla bla, dropped back to the old style, loads better. Bet they'll put me ...

FXCM new no dealing desk platfrm

Moe, just standard. That woulda ended up being a 100+ pip trades bugger shoulda got back or atleast tried, but couldn't be bothered and REGRET

FXCM Discussion

FXCM's got a new trick, tried to go long on this move, failed due to price move twice, then exited the platform seriously, done this twice recently. Just got me a 30pip move. Hmmmmmm definately trading against a market and against FXCM aren't we ...

Mickey the time to go short was 5mins before the big drop Shorting here could work, abit late in the day so expect sideways made up a tad for a better price.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Well we where all proven right, what where the odds, sideways was the theme of the day.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

My System is saying, Hold Shorts which I be doing, finally turned down. Either make 100pips on the down side, or get stopped out for 30pips. Lets hope for me it continues down, move over 1.9515 I'd likely convert to Long.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Running a 30pip stop and no defined TP. Use 144SMA ( 12hour) and Mainly 288SMA (1day ) notice how it bounced off the 24hour today and stopped over the 12hour nicely. ( shame I wasn't around to buy that ) Stayed without the range today, got near the ...

Why the decrease in range?

I've got a range based system, going to say not been able to write a expert clever enough to use it profitably but... check out on a 5min chart. GBP 2hour range - Envelope 24SMA Dev 0.2% avoid news times and it's 90% accurate. 12 Hour range - ...

Why the decrease in range?

New I shoulda held long over night 24hour SMA held held and kept holding until eventually a big move came, big enough not to make 30pip stop anything to worry about. 24hour price cross is my best Buy / Sell Signal, 24hour Support / Resistance is ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

We need the Stupid Yanks back, Yanking the Markets all over the place for no viable reason. Glad to see I'm not the only 1 thats bored this week 2 trades +9pips!!

zzz...

Guess I shoulda been buying bounces off the 5min 288SMA ( 24hour ) line, but 15 - 20 pips after spread really isn't what I'm after, mainly a keep holding too long waiting for something big to develop. When is Thanksgiving Day exactly ?? GBP and EUR ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Have noticed this myself, likely my fault 2years when I was demo trading, I remember the market being fluid pretty much 24/7 and tradeable, where as these days you hit 2:30pm GMT and it's just over till the next day, unless there is big news. But ...

Why the decrease in range?

Took eerrrrr 1 pip from that trade, looked possibly for abit, but no it's just dead this week.
