I wish I had the patience to wait for profits like that and the ability to forecast those kinds of moves consistently, seriously.
Take Cable and Eur/Usd, I was posting Sell Cable at 1.75 a couple of weeks back, and Sell Eur/Usd way back in May at 1.60 when I was going to sell and go on holiday to the US because the dollar was so cheap, but could I hang on to the trades? Nope, ~40 pips and I was out, now that's sick....and I never even got the holiday!
I think I need a platform with trailing stops

It has seriously taken years for me to be able to trade like this. I used to be very short term trader. 1min charts.
But the longer TF I go out the more money I make. Well there may be a optimal limit at some point. I just havent found it yet.
Good job.
Anyway I'm outta here, have a great weekend........
Had a few hours sleep but watched the last hour of the markets, although I did no more trades. Yen eased a little, and there was no big drop on equities or USDJPY -- whatever the reason for this. Capitulation has not come to US markets yet, and maybe it will be more stepwise.
Good news if the Yen stops it mayhem now, although there are more Q3 numbers next week.
Maybe I can get into more trades next week if the BoJ and MoF rhetoric is doing it's job - but without the wash out today in the USDJPY, I guess the sharp volatility will still be there next week - with more liquidity though, which is better.

Well they better not bust any of mine but I have an uncanny feeling they just might, they had me disconnected for 2 hours
21 trades, 21 wins, 1 open, +666 pips (oooh scary, 666, the sign of the devil!!). Not 200% but a decent day's work considering!
Have a great weekend y'all.....yep, even you Gringinho, don't hate me man, it's only trading

Good trading bro. Heard any news from Oanda yet? I went to bed after my last disconnect. My trades haven't been busted yet, so that's at least a good sign. LOL
Like you and Ivan said, I'd have more respect if they'd just say "ha ha fuck you" or "come on man seriously look at the move you just caught, we can't do this shit anymore" instead of pretending they are down.
Oh well what can ya do? Have a good weekend bud.
Thanks. Nope, it's all good, and they've had plenty of time to do it so I think we're ok.
It's unnerving though, what with that and the platform freezing and disconnecting it's not funny :eek:
