I don't know. I had the ask line displayed on my chart and I never saw the widening. It appears like they can stop you out at will and claim a widened spread as the culprit. I'll look into Forex.com- thanks.

No, not at all.

I don't know any I would recommend. I got shafted today by Oanda widening the spread before the news and lost a winning trade. I'm out of the news business.

Central Banks & Big Players

No. It was refunded within a minute or so. It had to have been a computer that did it. A human wouldn't have had time to do it.

I have MT4- Where is the Min/Max? Don't see it.

Just got screwed by Oanda on NZD news- Trying to call them now. I'll fill u in when I'm finished. I shorted the NZDUSD a few seconds before news time. Price dropped like a rock- straight down when the news was released. I should have made money- ...

Central Banks & Big Players

Which pair were you trading? USD/CAD? Did you ask them to refund it?

Central Banks & Big Players

If they do it again, it could wipe you out. Oanda slipped me about 30 or 40 pips on my SL once. I watched it happen and saw the loss register on my account. Within less than a minute, they corrected it and returned my money. I never figured out what ...

Yep- employment, retail sales, GDP, etc. Anything but interest rates.

Central Banks & Big Players

Hard to say. Tony recently said not to trade any more interest rate related news. That might leave two or three a week.

Central Banks & Big Players

Tony, Any pointers on which news to trade the rest of the week? Thanks

No. Fxmed posted this three or four times- "Box must start 2 hours before Asia open and end 2 hours after Asia open, set it accordingly to your MT4 and/or local timezone" The Asia open is 23:00 GMT. Two hours before the Asia open is 21:00 GMT. ...

You are drawing your box wrong. It should start at 21:00 GMT. You are starting yours at 22:00 GMT- an hour late. This one is correct. image

Will you give those times in GMT?

I'm going to try AUD employment tonight. I hope it will be a little tamer than that mess this morning. Going Long AUDUSD by the way.

If the market had stepped over 20, his chart would show a gap. It doesn't. The stop simply wasn't filled. It's time to change brokers.

Central Banks & Big Players

Does that go for the rest of the news this week? 25SL?

Central Banks & Big Players

OANDA locked me out of entering a trade 5 seconds before the release. It saved me money- I would have been stopped out- but I still want to know why it does that. Message said- "cancellation reason: STOP_LOSS_ON_FILL_LOSS"

Central Banks & Big Players

Still 16 pip SL? 120 pip TP?
