so 2 weekends in a row i got burned by the open. Don't care how many times i have "made" money with the Gap in my favor......these last 2 times....i think i have learned my lesson. Thanks to everyone who made posts since last friday and sunday. ...

so holding any position over the weekend is unprofessional?

either way.....could be a gap down.....as bloomberg is stating the deal is "supposed" to happen between 2-4pm EST but will not be reported until 6PM est.... please correct me if i am wrong

was just looking at this on another board. This chart is coming from VT Trader "demo" which has data that is not "real" and can actually be manipulated. Think about it.....if everyone in the world got a demo account and all bought 10000 lots of ...

And Xe.com is giving 193.168 url The first hour after the close it was over 195.00 Then went down some.....but i never saw it as low as 191.xx as others have reported from other sources. I do know that xe.com has the closest price i have ever seen ...

I've used CMSFX for years...and VT Trader for years....and have NEVER seen prices over the weekend.....have logged into my software several times trying to see these "weekend" prices....and i see nothing. would love to know how you are getting ...

Now all i've managed to do is GLUE myself to XE.com all damn weekend..... well that was smart. What's the line..."I am So Smart...S..M..R..T.."

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Yes....i took the money.....and then in the last minute manage to open a new long at 9345 and the price closed at 9449 and managed to get a stop in at 9345. Sooooooo.....running the gamble of a higher gap open. My broker told me that IF the price ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

to close or not to close......that is the question HA

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Does anyone here use CMSFX as their broker? Was trying to find out what happens if i place a stop and hold my long over the weekend and the price gaps down 1000 pips (or whatever) I called them and they were very vague about the possible outcomes. ...

Thanks for everyone's input. I've been trading on an off for about 5 years now. And still make some of the "basic" mistakes over and over. The one that kills me the most is having 9 successful trades in a row. And then on the 10th trade....giving ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

I think it just did that!!!

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

The last 24 hours is a PERFECT example of one my CLASSIC mistakes. A move from 8600 to 9200 The First 300 pips i am fighting the short term "trend" The next 300 pips i have given in and go with the "trend" but with smaller positions because i am ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)
