Sig hello! Whoa, whoa. Slow down, you just established we don't even know if we're talking about the same thing. I can guarantee you, what I am thinking in my head has and can be done. I left out a lot of information, I'm not giving anyone a free ride of my expense and time. Have a good day.

Well it's about mid afternoon here on the west coast and time to update my open positions status. Positions have receded a little bit from yesterday, currently about +0.14% They seem to be oscillating around to a high of +0.23% this morning. Continue to hold open.

Good observation, I saw the same on Wikipedia, then tried to find more information on their trading and couldn't find any. Thought it was kind of strange they'd be taking on risk like that. I think my modified list is more accurate.

Can be done, but you need to be watching two different pairs in order to get around technical restraints and take advantage of arbitrage. Even then, gains are going to be extremely small in the tenths to hundreds of a percent when watching a 24hr period. Most likely you'd be manually trading...

Your costs should be about the same, because you should be dividing your position amount by the two different trades. The statements about your costs being doubled, should be considered wrong unless you want to increase your leverage.

Hello Qw3rty, yes it's totally doable and can be consistently profitable. It will mostly come down to entrance timing and pairs being watched. Not necessarily long eur/usd and short eur/usd at the same time.

Are there people of that stature here on ET?

After reading some of your other posts, I take back what I said. You have good grammar. My new assumption is you're taking consistent losses and are venting out. Welcome to the game of forex, the great equalizer. An environment where anyone can present themselves as an expert, but market forces...

You can barely speak English, let alone understand what I am saying. I'm going to give you the benefit of doubt and assume it's not your native language, either that or you're lying about your age by 30 years. Anyhow, what I said can be quite profitable, but I am certainly not going to give you...

Yes, but what time frame are you trading? If you're trying to scalp, then yes all this could become a problem, but if you're trading further out none of this is going to matter, because no broker is going to push a price through billions of dollars to blow your stop. At best maybe they can shave...

Hello lovethetrade, great question. No, I believe if you have good money management, a lot of those variables are priced into the chart. ..But there is still that grey area between technical, fundamental and emotional that we easily get caught up in. That is where being inconsistent will wipe...

21 of the 27 orders have been filled and am currently sitting on about a +0.20% gain. Will continue to monitor the positions and will update when needed.

I am having trouble understanding the first sentence, but agree with the second. Study, study study.

That is fantastic! One thing is, the farther out you go in time frames, the less significant the spread becomes.

You could call it hedging, but I think a more profitable way would be an arbitrage spread/hedge between two pairs using one common base currency.

Forex is harder because there is less directional bias and fx is less regulated.

Being able to quantify what positioning ratio all means.

Gotta agree with that, you can have every thing on autopilot, but you still need to be able to read the weather so you don't get killed in a storm.

I agree with most or all of what you said, but think it's still hard to put it all together and apply it.
