What I don't like as a retail trader: Huge spreads (e.g. GBP/USD: 1.5 pips vs. 0.7 pips for professionals (at least 1 lot trading)) Two days ago I had that situation: My Trading was: +$16 My Spread was: -$20 (1.8 Pips) So I had: -$4 When I would ...

Ok, I get ready for pullback, 80% sold from 1.2760 at 1.2765, 20% keep for correction up. First target: 1.2775 Second target: 1.2784 (I will not leave it if it will not be reached in next 4 hours, than I close my position more lower if needed)

75 Pip drop. Made it with a good gain as counter trend trader but was tough. Be careful it is summertime. Drop took more than 3 hours. PA today completely crap. Often we get V-Formations after such a slow day down. Big Sellers not yet clean, they ...

I see problems in liquidity again. Last two swings (the one to the top and currently down) were too drivy, too little zig zag. I will never really understand why they drive the market like that but may be one day I will know. There is no retrace on ...

Does anybody have a real time spread on GBP/USD, core pricing model (comission based) from OANDA? Thank you in advance. Is the spread below 0.5? Anybody using that?

The problem is the USD. It is like a huge sell off. I'm not sure what is going on but I don't really like it. It is too strong and too fast. We had that also years ago and now it is summer time but anyway, it feels wrong somehow. I really wonder if ...

Wow, They killed another high, that's impressive. I think it is the 7,8 or 9 high after retrace of more than 20 pips. Some of you sit on big profits I think. Just take my money, just take my money.

Isn't that funny? Yesterday CPI almost exact the same, estimates lower -0.1% GBP/USD SOAR UP Today PPI also -0.1% GBP/USD DOWN. So we learned: If Consumer Prices go down it is weak for Dollar If Producer Prices go down it is strong for Dollar It ...

How to make your broker happy: Go long after a green 1 minute candle and go short after a red 1 minute candle. Sorry for spamming around. I stop that now.

If you look at the swings (up to 40 pips let's say) you can see that they are bigger than usual. That means less volume due to summer time or bigger volume than normal and the push thorugh is easier due to higher volume. Currently we had a pullback ...

I have to admit, that in a strong trend like that trend traders can make really bad moneymanagement and positionmanagement and still be profitable. I thought about it yesterday: What if I go long after that "stupid" 30 pip drop from the top? What If ...
