hi JamesCZ, I spend my weekends going through old data and back testing my system & signals before I put them to use, and I make sure they reach more than 1:1 risk/reward (limit:stop) ratio, and the accuracy have to be above 90% before i put them to ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

i'm sure these brokers makes tonnes of money anyway, if you click your order, and the price moved in your favour, they reject your trade, but if it moved against your favour, they give you the old price, and on your take profit level, if it slipped ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

I too believe banks & brokers will just accept your trade themselve unless these orders are above $1 million or so, otherwise it's not worth their time, and I believe this is where they make most of their money from retail traders..

yeah, as i said, it's partly my fault to have the stop there, i should have left it out completely and done it manually, but having said that, it doesn't change the fact that my broker is a bastard...

hi white_tiger, yeah when signing up the account, they mentioned about slippage, and i remember clearly they said slippage will also apply in "my favour" and I remember I laughed right out then "yeah right!" but come on, as i said, they slip my stop ...

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

my long got stopped out at 2:45 by my broker at 1.9710, those bastards, none of the feeds shows this price

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

AMAZING, just checked the fxcm data, the low of the GBPUSD was at 1.97099, just 0.1pips below my stop, this is what I call a stop hunt! but it's partly my fault to have the stop there anyway... but then netdania's feed's low was 1.9713 in that 30 ...

The Cat's Journal

the platform just came in to stop my GBPUSD out @ 1.9710 (-34pips), should really refrain from putting in stop losses in the platform, instead manually close the position when the price does come down, slightly more risk from missing out, but at ...

hi shrike, thanks for your reply, I had a read through of that page, looks like it's a long process, I guess that's why these company get away with it, I think it's something that I won't have time to deal with right now, although I hate to let them ...

just finished my dinner, AUDUSD broke thru 0.9571 and fell for another 20ish pips, but still can't move the stop loss, so just wait and see what happens... open pos 50% of #2 short 0.9611, SL 0.9588 currently +55pips (locked in 23 pips) probably ...

The Cat's Journal

AUDUSD should be trapped with 0.9571 & 0.9582 for the next hour until 20:30, break either way should set the trend moving in that direction (needs confirmation of coz), but I'm more hungry for food, so I'll going out for dinner, if I miss the ...
