Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

What is the reason you switched away from Oanda?
Mobile trading. I put 50+ hours a week into a day job and recently began trading a larger account...so when the step up came, I decided to swap out brokers so that I can have control 24/7. The FXSolutions application works perfectly on my blackberry.
I have no real gripes about Oanda and love that you can scale in & out of partial lots (I trade small).
Quote from Gringinho:
Interesting level on EURJPY right now ... for scalping.
Maybe easy 135 later on towards the end - or it will be an even sharper downturn... not really decided yet.
I assume a lot of repatriation is going on as well...
I was just looking at that, I think I might have a punt with some small trades on dollar/yen instead, on the off-chance the G7 come up with something, maybe see a gap on Sunday if they do.
As soon as (if!) equities rally I think we'll see some good moves against Yen.
What levels are you looking at on Eur/Jpy, 129.50?
Oh well if you're in then I'm in, $/Jpy 99.15 for 100.15
Small trade so I can average in if it takes a dive!
How about Aud/Jpy, it's looking very cheap at 63.50!
Very skittish now - did several hits...
Secured 2 trades for 2x50pips...
Will let last one ride... secured a +20pip for it with a stop at 132.85
That will give me at least 120pips from this.
... and at that moment it jumped up another 50 into +100pips for that trade, but secured at +60 now - i.e stop at 133.25
for at least +160pips total for those scalps.
If it doesn't hold 133.50 well, I will kill it as high as possible

Out at 99.75 for +60, not bad for 15 minutes 'work'!
Damn if Aud/Jpy didn't spike up 90 pips, lol, should have traded it!
I'll get back in Usd/Jpy again if it drops back to 99
Have a great weekend all
