It seems that when the EA tried to enter a trade it throw ERROR 130 - ERR_INVALID_STOPS because the close of the signal candle was 0.8 pips above SL, that is R1=SL=1.46600, ClosePrice = 1.46608. So it's correct the EA it didn't take the trade. Edit: ...

GBP is rocking once again, GA in particular is trading at extreme levels. EG, GN interesting too, just a little behind, but again who is willing to take an unknown risk since pound could go hundreds of pips higher ?

I'm already long on AN since last week. Early and wrong entry based on the rumored closure of phase 1 of the China-US deal that should have favored more AUD. Now in DD for the moment manageable.

Hi Davit, I went through a similar experience. As a consequence of greed I was stuck mainly in GC short taking up most of margin as the market began to go against me big. In my trade manager I've implemented a partial closing ...

Hi tomorton, far from me to have any ready made answer. I was only raising some doubts on entry hour since it's the only param we can control. On the other hand forward testing it isn't a valid alternative in my view since ...

Hi mrdfx, I think your strategy is based on a good and solid idea, namely M/W/D + H4 periods. The weak point according to me could be the starting hour on Tuesday. Why you picked 3:00 and not 7:00 or anything else ? Is your initial choice based on ...

I've closed my shorts on CAD. I could hold on longer however I don't feel comfortable with pound, tomorrow EUR PMI could print green and USD is back, ADR reached, don't want to be greedy.

I'd like to point out one more time the precision on weekly pivots + ADR20.

Hi bigpipin1 could you provide a rational for your buy trades ? EC it's trading above WR100, I see you're from Canada, maybe you know something more.

Hi Davit, and on CJ too. As well too many open positions to enter again.

GA is trading close at 3Y+ high at pre-Brexit levels. Positive mood on pound because of next election polls and bad news on trade deal prevent me to enter, however I'm watching it closely.

Pivot Trading

Currently there are many possible setup on EC, UC, NC to name a few, however I've margin trapped in GC short that isn't going well. Fundamental data on CAD was good so probably won't be any rate cut but what really matters is ...

I was observing the same.

I'm struggling in DD with my GC short while I made profits on shorting pound on GA and EG. CPI and EIA later today can change the game a bit, I agree that increased chances of a soon rate cut weigh on CAD.

Hi HRTrading, thank you for your reply. However I think there's no way to discover what's going on under the hood of the broker's side beyond a certain limit, we're retail traders and we have to do our best with what we have.

I have had this monster spike on my broker IC Markets for GBPCAD at time 2019.11.19 0:03 marking a high at 1.71792. This didn't happen with Pepperstone, another broker I have accounts with. The same happened for EURCAD. Did you detect the same price ...

That's why sometimes it's better to take a moderate profit instead of waiting mega pips. And this is even more true when GBP is involved. I'm long EG targeting WS61 and all of a sudden it drops like a stone. In the end no big ...

Pivot Trading

Yes, in a matter of minutes without any apparent reason in the market (at least known to me) you can see GBP jump up and down like a crazy horse. I'm still trapped in GC and GA for a mix of greed and supposed patience I avoid ...

Pivot Trading

Pound is in a strong momentum based on the confidence that after a prolonged stalemate things will be sorted out in one way or another. I'm short on GC and today could take some profit at 1.7025 (DO line), instead I preferred ...

Shorting GA could be an option too despite aussie bad data. However pound data aren't any better.
