There was a "bad data" spike on all CHF pairs that day, and it wasn't just Oanda. As for your screen shots... I would have to say that's pretty damning evidence. Not sure how to take that, and have no idea how that happened.

Years with OANDA?

Yes, it is possible to trade the 1M and be successful. I've been trading for 5 years and it's the only timeframe I've ever traded. I trade using only price action (yes, it is there on the 1M), no indicators, BUT, I've also been staring at the 1M ...

1m t/f.....anyone successful?

Current Oanda spreads are pathetic. 6 pips on AUDUSD, next highest broker out of all these is 2.8 url I'm seriously beginning to wonder if they are having a liquidity issue and can't offer competitive spreads anymore.

OANDA Discussion

Yes, I use the Fxtrade Desktop platform and it did hang, lost the connection, and couldn't log back in for a few minutes. This used to happen all the time during news release, but got better for a while. Now it seems like it's back to the old days ...

OANDA Discussion

I've never bitched about my broker, EVER, but enough is enough. I've been with Oanda for over 7 years. When I started with them, no complaints. Over the years, a few trades they wiped out because of "feed issues". No biggie, I took my lumps and ...

Depending on your type of system, it sounds like you are doing one of two things (or maybe both)... 1. You are taking setups that are not A+ setups (according to your system) 2. You are jumping in early because you are trying to jump your signal and ...

how do you improve patience

1:10 or 10:1 However you want to write it. You will eventually learn (like I did), to not expose more of your account to LOSES. 10:1 is more than enough. Now think about wins and loses in percentages. Only making 2% a MONTH will put you in the ELITE ...

Reasonable leverage

Thanks for the reply, I understand it took a lot of time and effort on your part, but it was a great resource. Keep up the good working with your trading!

Good to see you back Xaron. I have a question off topic. Are you still updating your fxmanagers website? There are no updates for 2011. Your website is a great contribution to the FX community, especially since myfxbook no longer supports Oanda ...

Are you trying to trade M1 as the H1 is developing, or after the H1 candle closes?

Spotting the best entry point on M1

This is amusing and "all that", but the 7 candle strategy is a strategy proposed by Kathy Lien. The problem is different borkers, different candle closings... Knowledge is power... url

He must have moved it. I was watching that day too.

I'm trying to "self-talk" my way out of this behavior. If I can't, walking away from the platform is my only alternative. Thanks!

I'm dealing with the same problem. I now use a tight stop, but I cannot seem to let the winners run. The Fool posted this a few days ago. Some of the best trading psychology articles I have ever read. Thanks to The Fool for sharing...

It WAS a triangular arbitrage...until The Bad (the retail trader) realized he didn't have any bullets in his gun...

Thank you! I have been looking for a way to do this for a while. Thanks for taking the time to help me out

Change bar color properties based on EMA?

Thanks, I found that indicator in another forum and it's very cool, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I need to change the bar colors up and down - above and below the EMA. RSI chart bars indicator attached. file file

Change bar color properties based on EMA?

I remember reading somewhere about the "spikes" around news times. It stated it was definitely a liquidity issue because banks are pulling their orders around major news. Once their orders are pulled, price just bounces to the orders left out there ...
