    Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

    Funny you should mention weed. Here in Massachusetts, last nights vote included a measure to reduce marijuana possession under, I believe, 1 ounce, to a civil rather than felonious charge. It passed by a wide margin. I voted for it. I don't indulge anymore, but I can't see the harm in it. There...

    If the adp had been released yesterday, the election margin would have been much larger. Not sure what you mean in the trades tab? I monitor open positions and open orders on those tabs. Of course I have had only 1 position open at a time.

    Sorry for the delayed response. I use standard pivots , off the 1 day chart. Looks as though there has been little movement out of range all day. What are you using to calculate VIX? RSI? I just looked at a daily, Some would call that an M-something- or -other. No f'n idea how to use that. I...

    Not to complain, but I had a target, short on E/J, 125.05 The price went through the stop and paused for nearly 5 seconds before clearing at 125.07. What concerns me was the price went THROUGH my TP by a couple pips. I understand about price touching or going through to trip a stop, but that...

    So, if they widen the spreads when price approaches S/R or pivots, or whole numbers, etc., considerably more potentially winning positions will be taken out. :mad:

    Am I seeing this correctly? EURAUD spikes up past 1.9100, while Oanda widens spread to 35. I did not see any news. :confused:

    As described earlier, it (euraud) acts correct, technically. Just have to be ready for the swings. I see the room for a downward. We'll see.

    I (we) had a pivot/SR at 124.00. I suppose there would be an argument for either side. Different time frames support diff. decisions. We may look for a short around 125.00, just don't tell anyone!:p

    May or may not be a valid point, but, if my laptop, pc and battery backup fails, Oanda is Java based, and I can break into my neighbors' house and log in.
