Is anyone having problems with Oanda right now ?? Whenever the market goes on a frenzy, like a couple times lately with Swissy, the prices don't even keep up. I've got EuroSwiss right now at 1.17 instead of 1.21. Do I just need faster computers, or ...

I don't know why we even bother. This guy did the same thing 2 & 1/2 years ago with "I lost $1000, what am I going to do"..... One of the first replies was, "post a chart with your last entry on that pair the tf you entered reasons why and your stop ...

To the OP: wasisalman, As you can see, trading brings out many differring opinions regardless of the skill level or years in this market. In the end, no one can really tell you what you should do right now. Actually, in the end, this thread will ...

Well, there is a time for taking big risks. But not all the time. That trade was entered 2 days ago at the beginning of a London selloff that has continued through today. Entering that trade may have been an acceptable risk, but I don't think any of ...

Well.... maybe let it ride if it keeps retracing higher. But back below 1.6150 is a warning that you could be setting up for bigger losses. If you're still short without a stoploss and GBP breaks below 1.6100.... quit trading and get a job.

That's just it, it's neither one. Different trading styles and timeframes. Neither opinion is plain wrong or misleading. It's most important to have an overall plan, and within that plan choose the best entry for your trade. Because there always ...

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear Take the wheel and steer It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague Haunting mass appeal But lately I'm beginning to find ...

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

(@ no one in particular) Everyone has different styles here, and they are also trading on different timeframes. That is one reason that a consensus can not be reached on these issues. So how about this: Yes - place a hard stop loss on your trade. If ...

zero number game zeroing me out!

I've traded with Oanda for a loooong time. Their execution is superb. Instantaneous and no annoying requotes. The spreads are still decent and I've gotten so used to trading on the charts that MT4 is quite cumbersome for me in comparison. i.e: My ...

I would agree here, it seems to me that the alarm is the useful and necessary component. I can't see a need to add economic results to it. That's what FF is for. The shark sound works fine for me. (default #2) Adding our own wave files would be ...

This is an awesome tool. Thank you for your efforts here. I agree with the mute button. It would be better than deleting the event. So the mute button would just stop the ringing, correct ?? That way there would be nothing to reset a few minutes ...

Yeah, everything you said makes no sense. 25% make money every quarter, and the same 25% make money the next quarter (plus or minus a few). And I don't know what your kick is with PeterFm, but there's a long list of successful traders that don't ...

Strategies that don't predict future price

That doesn't sound right to me. This isn't based on latency trading, it's an ECN. If you get your order filled then someone accepted the offer. Of course, the problem would be when trades go against you. Winning a commission to risk losing an ...
