Now I remember why I left this section of the forum. No-one is going to code you an EA, and if someone tries it won't work. Learn to trade with discretion. It's the only way you'll get anywhere in forex. If, after you've learnt all of ...

Easy to trade flags pattern

Not true. Their mobile platform was down intermittently too, though worked more often than the Java platform. Oanda replied to my e-mail by crediting trades that were affected by the outage. They zeroed my trades, that is. I would advise anyone who ...

OANDA Discussion

Seconded. What rubbish from Oanda. Up until now I've thought them quite decent, but this is unforgivable. Luckily I only had a small position riding into the news, but I missed a couple of good trades. Sigh.

EURUSD

Don't take this the wrong way, but justifying a risky entry with a throw-away quote is not the right way to approach trading. Either it's a good entry, and the risk is in line with the potential reward, or it's a bad entry and one you shouldn't be ...

EURUSD

An anecdotal bit of info - a friend of mine who worked for FXCM as a marketmaker tells me that on occasion orders for 500 lots ($50 million) came through and, as long as it was during a period of high liquidity, would not move price more than 1-2 ...

Volumes traded in the Euro?

Heh. Weird day for me for sure, I've been averaging around 15-25 pips most days, but have been testing some different ideas based around price momentum. Clearly worked well today (lot of momentum!), but tomorrow is always another story. You've got a ...

I took similar entries on GBPUSD, although I jumped into the middle of the strong move down on the back of news. Picked up 40, followed by another 40 on the second leg down after hesitation at the support. As that put me up ~150pips for the day I ...

Interesting theory you're developing here robdee. Seeing as my current trading has taken me in a similar direction I just thought I'd give you my two cents. Firstly, I know this is a hotly debated topic, but volume in forex (which is actually just ...

Sounds good stratman. Here's my first trade of the day: image

Hey stratman, looking good. Just a couple of things I would say though - if you're using shared hosting, the whole thing is likely to fall over once there are more than 10-20 concurrent users on the board. I'm not sure how efficient Kunena is at ...

How about: - Basic trading discussion - Advanced trading discussion - Trade Journals - Technical Support Basic & Advanced sections could have stickied topics at the top where frequently asked questions are answered.

*cough* I just noticed that. Can't believe I didn't see it before! I'm too heavily focused on GBPJPY. Can't see the forest for the trees etc. Oh well. Nice trade!

Thanks for the $index link stratman. It's a good thing to watch indeed! I believe there's an MT4 platform which has it as one of the tradable symbols. I'll see if I can track it down (might make it easier to watch). I'm wondering if you could post a ...

Parabolic shapes suggest that momentum is running out. They seem to mark a good point at which to look for trend reversal signals, don't you think? Also, a follow-up to my prior (wrong) prediction: image

My take on EURJPY at the moment is that someone is loading up on short positions. I could be very wrong... but the 123 move up looks like a trap. Price is wavering just above the previous high. Edit: Just wrote up this image image Edit: Lol. How ...

Hm price has kept on going too far for my liking. Continuation setup is probably a bit risky at this point. The 123 setup at the start of the session was pure gold. (Vertical red line is marking my later long scalp for +9) image

Correlation is fun Next step, waiting for a retrace on GY to around 133.06-133.10 before looking for a short setup. Do you agree with this assessment stratman?

pipware.com

I've also noticed that the first 123 setup at around 6:30GMT on GY tends to be a good one. Especially if you enter aggressively at the 3 (at the 50% or 61.8% fib or M5/M15 SMA60 or 50/100 pip price point). Edit: Yep just saw that! Waiting for a ...
