scotty, well, use a calculator 0.5% of 10,000 is.... 50, obviously. NAB stands for Net Available Balance. The Oanda platform will actually calculate that based on your available margin, so as you open more positions, the size of new positions ...

No fixed time — I personally like to place my market orders in the morning before the NY open because Oanda's spread in GBP/JPY is lower. I don't worry so much about the AUD/JPY since the spread doesn't change as much during the day. This is ...

right, sorry Qman, I think I misunderstood your initial post, and that we were actually saying the same thing and I didn't realise it. That Average-Building trade has no TP, the other ones do. Ok, well now I think I've got a good handle on this ...

Hi guys, Sorry in advance for the massive post. Qman I actually have to disagree. I think we do put a TP on all those extra limit orders. Going back to dreamliner's first post 2.Place limit orders (long) at 10 pips above initial entry 3.Place 10 pip ...

Hi everyone, I've finished reading this thread, and I've started setting up some orders. I have a few questions. 1) When we place a new Average In order, we also add 10 pip orders above it as far up as we need to fill in the gap, right? This seems ...

cable trade — There was a round bottom on cable last night (I'm in EST), I was up late and set up the trade before I went to bed, woke up to a couple of pips! That's always nice. Of course, it made an even bigger move, but I had to set my ...

I'm totally confused by how the market reacted to the news, especially the NFP numbers... guess this is why I should always sit on my hands at news time. Does anyone see any reasoning here? r

Everything is flat, no movement anywhere. I was hoping at least for something to look at before bed, but no, it's all boring

I had a decent trade today on the USD/CAD. I went short at 1.00715, just after 9am EST (so... GMT 1400?). There was that big jump upwards just before that, because of the news. For me, though, it wasn't about trading the pullback. Price on 4H was ...

Hi, If at the close of the first bar above/below the swing line, the validator is negative, would you wait for the first bar on which it goes positive and then trade that bar? Or is the idea to only trade those first initial breaks of the line that ...

ashes, Thanks for the reply. Noob question: So would it make more sense to trade a round bottom in a ranging market than in a trending one? R

When do you place your orders? London open on monday? or Asian open? I'm wondering what you do if your broker is still on weekend spreads.

I'm a noob — Hi everyone, This is my first post, so it's only fair to introduce myself. My story's familiar: started trading forex, was too enthusiastic, lost some money, and took a step back to learn what I was actually doing. I've been ...
