Now that the market is finally moving, I've had a chance to test my EA out a bit and it appears to be working as intended. I'd like to have some more people test it (if you're interested, and have a demo account you don't mind running it on). The EA ...

Entered short at 1.37444... Although on demo, and only to test the trade management EA I /think/ I've finished. I'm actually hoping this trade gets stopped out or hits a profit target and then turns so that I can see if it's working or not

I don't blame you, I'm definitely not in the mood for scalping this range either, despite a couple of good setups for it. Oh well, at least this boring, rangy stuff is giving me time to work on a manager EA for my open trades, this way I can ...

If you're getting stopped out for hundreds of pips after a 20 pip move into profitability you're probably just trading on unclear signals. With stops that large, you almost can't afford to trade timeframes lower than 4H. The plan to move to only ...

Instability and political turmoil probably turn risk-on attitude to off, so people sell their Euros in favor of the reserve currency, the USD. If it appears that a deal is being reached and the Greeks are willing to work with the rest of the EU by ...

Quite a bit of the overall trend is very correlated, which is to be expected among pairs like this that are both related to the USDX, then again, the moves in the Euro have about 6 times the weight of those in the CAD which probably accounts for why ...

Ah okay, yeah I might actually agree that it's bullish for the longer term. Maybe if it goes down on the 4H you can build your long positions for the coming weeks

I'd also be interested to see why you think UCAD long at the moment. I see a little bit of a bearish signal on my chart. I wouldn't say I expect a huge profit out of it, but I do think there's some room to move down before heading up. Recent PA is ...

It might not have been only the NFP and unemployment data. Bernanke spoke earlier this week as well which is a good reinforcing factor for the economic growth that the Fed expects in the medium term. It could also have been that people were still a ...

It's all about ticks, and if the first tick your client gets when markets open back up is 60 pips off your BE stop loss then you take a 60 pip loss

Exactly, and you'll probably find that working in C++, while syntactically more complex, is much more efficient and not to mention far more powerful. The ability to manipulate individual memory addresses and work with arrays is much cleaner, faster, ...

No problem, if you ever have questions about C or C++ feel free to PM me about it. Most of my programming experience in it is related to numerical analysis and mathematics libraries.
