My advice in case of AUD or NZD pairs is to remove stops before roll-over. Random spikes and spread widening are quite common. Also you get important RBNZ news during that time. xD

NZD/USD

There was a gap, maybe that's why.

NZD/USD

Interesting. DailyFX:RBNZ's Wheeler: Economy growing at 2.5% annual rate, some further easing seems likely. DailyFX: RBNZ Governor says further easing 'likely' but currency depreciation 'necessary'. Balances tip back to words rather than action. ...

NZD/USD

They did cut but PA is very strange. I was trading previous cut and managed to short before gap appeared and then PA was normal. Now there were crazy spikes. I managed to make 2x350pips but it was luck, last time I traded this. Too low liquidity. ...

EURUSD

To me hourly looks bearish but 4H is range bound with bullish scent.

EURUSD

I'm actually waiting to see an upside whipsaw cause there is so many shorts. Big boys probably were more interested in Kiwi than Euro. GBP/NZD and NZD/USD were yesterdays no brainers. I was drunk and I took both cause it was so obvious.

EURUSD

I see many people trading this .

EURUSD

RBNZ: $NZD persists at unjustifiable level, sharp fall in dairy incomes is headwind to growth. 25 Jun @ 09:35:44 PM GMT That's first thing I could find after I noticed this move. It was already stated that RBNZ want's to weaken kiwi, though looks ...

EURUSD

Is it hitting 1.58 by any chance?

EURUSD

Please share the result cause this freeze was very suspicious. It froze exactly on 4h 61.8 fibo retracement where it bounced quite a bit.

url Yeah, it's not only you.

ETX Capital Discussion

Yes, it's not you. Platform is frozen. Seems like utter rubbish.

Actually I'm, cause I did open account with them and didn't make deposit yet.

Technically ECN has raw spreads + commission and STP has a markup on spreads instead commission. That what you are talking about is I assume something advertised as NDD which is MM without human intervention. Alpari used to have MM accounts in the ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

I had a MM account elsewhere and I know how it looks like. My account on AlpariUK was definitely STP as I could scalp during big news without any problem. There were also ECN accounts but I didn't have one.

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

They clearly wrote that it's different entity operating under Alpari brand. I believe that owner could do something to save it but maybe he simply doesn't want. It could be the fact that AlpariUK and FXCM weren't hit so bad that they couldn't ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

Are you sure about them being ECN? From what I see they have spreads from 0.8, microlots, no commision. This is not ECN. Moreover, they didn't state anywhere that they are ECN or at least STP. The only thing they state is NDD what doesn't mean they ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

I mean it's the case like with most market makers, especially dealing desk ones like IG. The execution slower, slippage and spread spikes hunting fer stops. If you are not intraday trader, you should be fine. The guaranteed SL will not give any ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

Always. Whether it's spread betting or CFD account. They are long running market makers, what means they are LP for you (like Oanda). If LP gives you guaranteed SL for extra fee then they easily can and have to fulfil that. The bad side is if you ...

I don't want to be nasty but you seem to not have clue what you are talking about. Imagine that there was well known 1.2 peg, would you place buy order at eg. 1.0 ? How many buy orders do you think were placed below that price? Were people selling ...
