In all fairness, he did say that he had never traded the 5m and just wanted to see what it was like.

They are saying that when your order went to execute, the market+spread had already moved to your SL before they could fill it. Happens in fast markets with tight stops. Not sure about Oanda, but most charting packages let you plot the bid/ask ...

Fairly sure James and Mike would warn you about the perils of trading tiny 5m poodle pinbars following multiple huge consecutive bearish bars without divergence or a ppz bounce. Glad you banked some pips, buddy

Hope you realise you have just killed 'geppy' and created a new currency name. 'hey broker, i wanna short ten bitches at 143 flat'

That's a big loss to everyone here. Sad to see you go, I definitely learned alot for your stream-of-conciousness essays. You also strike me as the last person in the world to make a rash, emotional decision so I can only assume that there are strong ...

Just keep in mind that by the time you read about it, it is too late to do anything with the information. Even worse, you will end up putting an order in at the end of the move and being liquidity for the guys closing their positions. They dont ...

Revvin' up your engine, listen to her howlin' roar.... — On one hand, I want to short GBPCHF. Nice pin with the trend at retracement with plenty of room to run. On the other, taking a long position in francs with the SNB so twitchy makes me ...

That's completely crap, to be honest. It's only one pip, but inconsistent charts and backdating bars is shady as hell. I was starting to look at Oanda as a backup forex broker, but that kinda thing (and their charting package, ugh) makes me want to ...

I'm gonna wager that price actually did hit .9138, it just did it before the period shown in your tick chart. Looking at my chart, it bounced right off .9137 on two seperate feeds.

Putting a sell stop above the current price isnt really going to work out the way you want Damnit, Jim, where is my hard break? Fiber is puttin me to sleep here!

Isnt that gonna depend on whether you want to get short or long? I dont know if that is really discipline. I make my decisions well before the end of the bar, I just dont commit until a confirmatory break. After all, bar opens/closes are ...
