Yes, the BID high was 1.0521, the BID low was 1.0507...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Why only 13? My high was at 1.0525, the low at 1.0506... Just curious.

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

May I ask why you take the BID price as a stop? You would be stopped out even if the price did not touch the high of the IB?! Shouldn't you use the ASK which would be 1.0525 (3 pips spread)? Regards - Xaron

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

I know what you mean, I had the same problems but nowadays the slippage has gone again... Strange. Yes. If it was a general issue these trades would see a rollback as well. Haha, I like your humor. I know what you mean, it's an interesting case. ...

Any Successful trader here using Oanda?

I've set a long order for the EUR/JPY and long and short for the GBP/USD...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Here comes another example: I got a fill using a stop buy order (a simple EUR/USD long grid) where the real quote never reached the order level: image And here's the transactions log with the rollback: image In this particular case I contacted ...

Any Successful trader here using Oanda?

Hi, I'm new here! Took the USD/CHF short as well. Could develop very good as the USD is doomed. I don't think there is a real uptrend for the swissy, we'll see parity again... Regards - Xaron

lostinspace I know your points and you're right, Oanda isn't perfect. But they don't rip off their customers. I think you're a smart guy who trades bigger amounts of money than typical "starters". I have to admit: If you have a bigger account, go on ...

Any Successful trader here using Oanda?

I second that. Don't listen to the complainers. There are thousands of traders who have no complains with Oanda. Of course there are always a dozen who cry. But yes, there are some drawbacks: - Oanda is a market maker not an ECN (but 1000% better ...

That's always the risk.

Martingale Baggio Method

No, it don't work here either...

Martingale Baggio Method

I don't think so. In the long run this baby will go to 1.7000. Every dip is a good buying opportunity.

EUR/USD in Aug

Well I gave mine: 1st: It was a misspike and there would had been a rollback. 2nd: It was a time delay due to lagging servers (at Oanda this happens sometimes, but then all quotes are delayed on client(!) side). In that case you won't see the real ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

Missed that question, sorry: The thing is: You don't have +500 pips free to lose. If the last level has been entered (2.56 or 5.12 lots) it only takes 20 - 30 pips to wipe your account. Just think about that 2.56 lots mean that every pips is worth ...

Martingale Baggio Method

So here comes my statement for July. As I'm now in the plus zone, I'll change the initial lot size from 0.01 to 0.02. That doesn't sound very much but will double the gain as well as the risk for a MC. I dropped the GBP/JPY and will only use ...

Martingale Baggio Method

There is no (automated) way to avoid a margin call using this method like any other martingale method. The market is always right and there will be times where the market just goes away in one direction or just ranges too long (if you use a stop and ...

Martingale Baggio Method

Ah thank, yes you're right. The key is: Where are "good" support and resistances to enter there? If there is an up trend, where do I enter in a pullback? And another thing: Effi, I wonder about your "breakout" thread then. You don't seem to like ...

Breakout Confirmation? ideas

Ok, but that's more an example for range trading, at least with this chart.

Breakout Confirmation? ideas

effi, I like your postings, but on this chart I can't see any up trend nor down trend. The last local low was broken so a long entry down there would had been risky - even if it worked. Regards - Xaron
