Went back to the well a second time. That was not such a friendly neighborhood. Was heavily long aud, light euro and Cad. The euro and Cad moved around enough to let me out, but the Aussie stayed mired in that same trading range .75 to.95. Managed to get out at a profit but took big risk for the...

Went long euro, aud, cad on the first good pullback after the news came out at 830am. Scalped out as soon as I had 8-10 pips. I really don't like catching knives like that, but it is in the direction of the trend. Wasn't going to trade, as I felt I had missed it, but when i saw the price drop it...

Kind of a difficult trade in retrospect. Went long euro, aud about 430 this am (NY time). Got into Cad long later. Lots of chop for hours and hours. Bought AUD between .7660 and .70, averaging down. EUR at 1.1170. Cad around 12930 but I was able to trade around that a few times. Finally, finally...

Anyone know if the ctrader platform is available on fxcm or any other US based broker? There's a forex trader on ET that uses it but he's in another country. Reviews seem good. Most importantly the platform does not allow the dealer to change the quotes.

Trade. Stop. Watch. Sit on your hands so you don't trade more. Try it. It works.

I think that's a new oxymoron. Postal Worker. Hot Water Heater. Jumbo Shrimp.

Pretty grim, actually. I would need lots and lots more money to be able to trade the full size futures at the same risk level as in forex. Maybe better to let them steal a few pips until I can find a relatively honest forex broker.

Thank you

Ok do you have any experience trading them?

Yes thank-you I saw that from CME site, but wanted some first hand info. Mostly about spread and liquidity during liquid hours.

Anyone trade the e-micro FX futures? Just started again with forex and I can tell I'm getting screwed on fills . Do you have to trade the big contract for liquidity?

Something systems traders are loathe to talk about.

I guess we didn't post our trades, but I was short euro, and Aussie from when I saw the weakness in gold. Got out at around 8pm on the push down and waited for London open, which I kind of fudged up, but managed to extricate myself a few hours later at a profit.

I did post elsewhere that I noticed that gold had stopped going down, and that it wouldn't surprise me if the euro rallied. That was about 630am. Why? Because both were struggling to go down. That's the reason.

Well, the way I see it is, there's no real news at that time, so it's just bigger time frame players, or just bigger players selling. You see how I (we) shadowed the weakness? Now the reason isn't material. If there were significant news, like peace breaking out everywhere, I would pay more...

They call it Try-S in Chicago. Stuck, Short, and Stubborn.

Stops above 90 in AUD me thinks.

Yes
