Thanks Fingo!

Peter, I appreciate your appreciation. I know you weren't complaining, and I understand what you're saying. I went down the same thought process myself during development. But from a development perpective the word "probably" always raises a red ...

I don't understand. The alert values shouldn't change after you save them, even if you close and reopen the form. Surely your alert parameters aren't getting lost, are they? Now, after you click Save the first currency in the drop down list will get ...

Don't worry, all trades are anonymous unless you're in a channel. If you select a channel and click View Channel History link you can see who did what. You can also export it to Excel.

Try X86, then x64 if that install fails. No, but good idea! As of now you will have to configure alerts for each currency independently. Maybe I'll squeeze that into the next release... Thanks for the idea!

You're right, we would need to start making this tool part of our standard trading practice. But change ain't always bad... I think that as the tool became more and more popular people may begin basing their trades off the stats, and to a large ...

Thanks! Programmers love you. I like the idea of integration with FF. I could generate some web services on my site to supply the communication of stats over to the FF site. I'll shoot you an email and we'll discuss it further.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. This is a standalone application that runs on your computer. When you decide to open a position with your broker you can click the icon in your system tray (for this application), and then click the cell representing ...

Question: Given the FOMC interest rate statement tomorrow afternoon, will anybody be playing the Nonfarm productivity (yellow) and Unit labor cost (orange) news releases in the morning? Is it silly to anticipate any movement from these releases ...

FOMC trade

Hmmm, I only trade the EUR/USD and occasionally the USD/CAD. I guess I won't be switching to aud/usd any time soon! Thanks for the reply.

OANDA users...how do you profit when spreads change

Yeah, I take the KISS method with trading, as well as most things in life: Keep It Simple because I'm Stupid... : I say this jokingly yet half serious. There are so many methods and indicators out there it makes my head spin. I found something ...

OANDA users...how do you profit when spreads change

I have never noticed Oanda making their spreads that large (other than on weekends), and I've been using them for several years. My spread on the EUR/USD is 1.5, even just 2-3 minutes before a news release.

OANDA users...how do you profit when spreads change

Only as much as can be expected from any broker, I assume. That's the obvious downside to the straddling strategy, but like I said before the only risk is the difference between your two limit orders (the long and the short) as one will close out ...

OANDA users...how do you profit when spreads change

How do we make a profit on Oanda? Just like this! (See attachment.) Oanda has always been good for me using the idea of straddling a channel right before a news release. It's especially nice because I don't have to spend all day watching graphs and ...

OANDA users...how do you profit when spreads change

Oanda offers spot trades, works well for using limit orders around big news releases. And I agree, upgrade to at least windows 2000 pro. I've used Oanda for 3+ years with little or no problems.

I would lean towards "burn-achy"

Bernanke's Speech

I'll be the first to report in. All orders are in EUR/USD: At 9:57 (EST) this morning I set a short limit order at 1.20769 and a long limit order at 1.2092 (just above and below the existing channel). My short order was filled at 10:00, just before ...

How do you trade news?

In the interest of keeping this discussion alive, I would sure like to hear how some of you trade the Consumer Confidence report at 10 EST this morning, as well as the ominous FOMC interest rate statement. I'll post back later this afternoon with my ...

How do you trade news?

Tell me about it accrete. If I didn't have a full time job to do during my trading I would have gone crazy today!
