in this case the rally had nothing to do with China. the market was expecting Australia to lower the interest rate last month. when that did not happen, traders were looking at the May meeting. however a speech by Stevens indicated no change at the coming meeting.

hello Pete, thank you for your help on this forum. now I got another brain teaser for you or anybody else. price is 1.5940 and I have a buy stop order @ 1.5950. this order is triggered and sold @ 1.5975. now if I`m not at my computer and price drops to 1.5925, how can I already have...

thank you for trying to help. I did as you say before: do the base order + the condition, but when I want to transmit the order I get the following message: conditional orders are supported only for Limit, Market or Relative orders. so I`m stuck:eek:

thank you for your reply. but I`m an old fella with no technical or coding skills whatsoever. any easier solutions without a 5-year study???:)

hello folks, with IB cant place a conditional stop order. example forex: price now 1.5875 when price is down to 1.5825 automaticly place a buy stop order @ 1.5850..... any broker can do this?:)

tried it on the platform: what a relief not having to search for an other broker!!! maybe the reps need training: "IB does not support its own futures contract. Sorry for the inconvenience." thank you so much for your help:)

hello folks, I have IB as my broker, but they dont do GBP/JPY futures. now I could do spot forex with them, but if I hold positions in GBP/JPY in a big way, it will cost me a fortune in interest charges. appreciate your help. thank you:)

hello guys, when trading AUD/NZD with Interactive Brokers I sometimes place a buy stop order. now I like to be sure of the execution, but especially in a fast market I might have to pay a lot of spread. a buy stop limit order is not an option as it might never execute. so price is now...

Bob, agree:)

Bob, I`m sure there are quite a few brokers that would meet your trading needs. after that wouldn`t it be wise to also look at the safety isssue?

Electric, diversify: what exactly do you mean? if its to spread your risk by having different brokers: yes I`m going to do that. I have IB now and will have another broker soon. if its different assets: I do have Ozzie stock, going to do more trading the forex market and will be buying...

Electric, I think its foolish to join the first broker who meets your trading needs. I realize that nothing can be 100% safe, but like trading you`re looking to minimizing risk. and its not as if it is such a big job to research for the best broker available for your needs. once I have...

Jack, the only problem with Dukascopy is that you can only trade spot forex, so if the business goes bust, you`re just a creditor. I think your account size needs to be quite high, 100k?, to be able to open a bank account in your own name. Macquarie Bank offers forex futures and other...

life support? dont know what you`re talking about.:confused: can you give me all the details please? aha, just searched on the internet: 24.6% profit fall and has shed 1300 jobs worldwide, but still made 730 million full-year profit. still quite good for a small to medium sized company...

hello guys, a quick search came up with Macquarie Bank in Australia. I do know a little about them as I was looking for a broker when I lived in Australia. It is an investment bank with offices in 28 countries around the globe. they do broking as well, Australian stock, cfd~s and futures are...

thank you rmorse for your reply. I think its best that even before somebody starts trading to look for the safest broker around who suits your needs. no use having the best trading strategy and compounding profits in your broking account and ending up with nothing. for now I`ll keep my...

I live in NZ, but have an IB account. IB seems alright, but you can never tell. I have an account >500k trading Ozzie stock and forex and it might be time to look for a broker linked to a bank. any ideas? thank you everyone for your contribution.

hello folks, I always wonder if currency futures from CME are safe if a broker blows up. with the likes of Refco and MF Global going belly-up, I dont feel like pouring big money in spot forex. so what happens if I bought a currency futures contract through my broker and he goes...

hahaha....I have a little suspicion that the OP wants to show that mechanical systems can be profitable :p and why not? people who dismiss this out of hand are dumb - dumber - dumbest. always keep an open mind: there are a 1,000 ways to fleece your fellow trader:eek:

retail, you seem to be at the other end of the believing people: you already dont believe anything those traders will say. Trust, but verify........you dont trust them at all so dont quote. me: I`m just in the middle of it all.
