Could well be that Ben will hike before BoJ and increase the carry attractiveness.

If you tick TP or SL they will stay put at those figures they're ticked at. They do not adjust with the quoted rate. It's very strange you have not noticed this is the way things are if you've been trading with Oanda for any length of time. Moreover you could have checked the SL level from...

What's with the silver/gold divergence for the past 2 days? Bouncing back from 11.90 and drifting anemically while gold making fresh new highs.

In a week Japan may be ending the zero interest rate policy. All bets are open what is going to happen. If they only rise 0.25% and indicate that they'll do things slowly, we might see 120 levels again due to the interest rate difference. If they rise immediately to 1% or higher the first...

I'm very surprised about euro bullishness when the fact is that ECB is not bullish. They've constantly and again shown that they're only talking tough. There's no reason why that hot air should sink into the markets as it has. Most probably they will only rise total of 0.5% this year and if they...

NoProblem, stuff like that doesn't happen at Oanda, there what you see is what you get. I trade exclusively on the chart only. There may be small differences in different rate feeds due to lack of centralized market but after spending more than enough time monitoring CME forex futures and...

You are probably confusing middle price charts and bid/ask prices (the spread), as what you say makes no sense really.

EFXgroup is just an IB for MB Trading's forex platform.

Esignal has a plugin for Oanda. I'm happy with Oanda's own charts and feed.

Hope everybody did well, short usd-jpy gave easy 100 pips or more.

To see each trade as a separate entry with its own P&L, able to close this trade separately from others. Also complete exposure and average P&L for all trades of one currency pair. To see swap fees readily calculated in both currency and pip terms for a pair when opening a trade in order to...

100,000 euro of EUR/GBP pip value is 18.17 USD or so, copied from Oanda's order box which shows the values immediately, rates almost as you quoted. Sorry didn't see Steve's reply when writing this. But Steve tell me, when are you going to update TWS so that it can feasibly be used for forex...

About 2., where would You trade if you had $200k or more, and why?

It's not about not being able to keep stops from from earning swap interest on the danglers while taking slow and steady gains. That much is true that an unexpected large move outside of historical volatility, if that has been the criteria for trade size selection, will wipe the whole thing...

You mean suspending trading for less than just a few minutes is all right in your books? And requotes? Sheeshkebab.

His wife is gone already, maybe he found out that he loved her more than his business. It's a wise choice to make important decisions while you're still able to think and execute them and able to enjoy the results of your decisions.

He likes to blabber.

What's the point of the Oanda thread? Read all that junk through and in the end it becomes clear that the guy who complained of stop hunt didn't even get his stops triggered. Just wanted to give strange market action a catchy subject. One man's stop loss is another man's buying opportunity...
