I have been building positions in EUR/USD and USD/CHF in the last 16hours. When I finish, I will let you know my average entry prices.

Call for the week, and let's hope until the end of the year. Let's take it day at a time... :)

Price action. Seems like the market is kicking out the last weak USD shorts (and trapping new longs), especially against EUR and CHF. Also, Gold and Silver are leading. Still going up strongly, usually before a USD decline. I may be wrong of course, but this is my call for the week :)

...and hold until the end of the year. current: USD/CHF 1.2773 EUR/USD 1.2151

I am gonna investigate this further, because the market was quoting around the price of my trade for at least 30minutes. Furthermore, my trade was busted after 11 whole hours!! Is this normal? Who has experience here with these kind of things? Any advice is welcome...

I just got a trade busted in IDEALPRO. That sucks! I saw the quote and traded it, what's the problem with that? The cancellation of the trade resulted in a margin call and I had to reduce further my current position.

A couple of legs of this position hit the stops. Overally, I am still plus though.

IDEALPRO is way off in many pairs!!! Get whatever you can.

WTF! what kind of opening is this?!? There is no liquidity whatsoever.... EUR/USD is quoting 1.2158/93, huge spread, with peanuts at the bid and ask. EUR/GBP has no ask! only bid. 53pips spread at USD/GBP. Again peanuts at the bid/ask. WTF!!!!!! WTF!!!! What kind of market is this?????

Watch it closely, JPY doesn't look like a good long across the board. But, goodluck. Cheers

Position rules! I have been building it since yesterday, and it keeps going up and up in Euro terms.

Read my post again. i didn't say anything about EUR/USD. Is that all you are thinking about? EUR/USD isn't the "hot" pair right now. I am flat. What I am suggesting is: long EUR long USD short GBP short CHF short JPY I only follow those 5 currencies. I leave the choice of pairs...

The way things look right now, it seems that the big rallies are/will-be in EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, and EUR/JPY; especially in the last one.

My EUR/GBP long starting paying off. Looking to add...

Can we please get an "official" reply from IB on this matter? My Oanda account is just open, and quoting 1pip spread on EUR/USD (no commissions). I need to know if the IDEALPRO's spread is gonna stay at 2-3pips, so I move my funds.

maintenance margin is also 2%

Survive? I use stops you know. Got out of the whole position at almost breakeven. cu

Speaking of Fib, I understand how the numbers .236, .382, .5 and .618 relate to the golden ratio. Can someone explain to me why .764 is used as another level? (The 1-.236 = .764 relation sounds kinda weak to me). Some others use .786 as the square root of .618. According to me .786 has...

oopss I forgot! You don't use stops. You just let your losses run until they (and if) become profits. Right?

Where is your stop? ...dude. (I will add some long there) :D
