Yes, I played FXCM's game back and forth for a couple of years. Finally I got so fed up with having to fight the broker And the forex, I went somewhere else. However, I'll try not to derail your thread. Most of my consecutive trades were 5-15 pip ...

Winning Trades String League

72 wins in a row is my maximum. However it was 2 years ago on an FXCM account at the time (anyone remember when FXCM was actually a tradable platform?) Anyway, I don't think I have that report anymore and if I do it could be burried on any number of ...

Winning Trades String League

Yeah, I still had 11 lots in from the initial 4:30 move at 1.9372. Just took my requote at 1.9512 instead of 15. Wootz! I'll take it.

WTF! Surprise UK Rate Hike!

Hey, that's a great tip. Thanks.

Custom Fibonacci Indicator Available?

Well, you are pretty sure it's gonna be a mover. So anything you feel comfortable with that won't spike you in. This goes back to knowing your own broker, how they widen, how they spike and judging it from there. I go +10 -10 ish unless it is being ...

Trading the NFP this friday

Meh, I just appreciate how hard it is to call trades. I've been there. It's a whole different psycological ballgame.

Is subscription worth it?

I too would congratulate the forex factory environment. I have been trading for a couple years now and have only recently found FF. It has certainly been nice to feel connected to a larger body of traders.

Thank you Forex Factory!

Notme- A straddle is when you place entry stop's on either side of the market just prior to larger news releases. Example: GBP/USD at 8:29:30 was around 1.9518. Place entry orders at 1.9523 and 1.9513. It shot down clicking in my sell entry order at ...

US GDP

Took 15 on a straddle. I think I'm going to stay out now until some signs of the trend return. This whipsaw stuff is scary.

US GDP

That's my opinion. I think there could be some profit taking because it is Friday, but I doubt the majority of American's want to jump in either direction after that.

What will NY session see when it wakes up?

Well, there was some interesting evidence a while ago that showed the number of forex orders coming in from the middle east increasing significantly just before the attacks.

How much money can be earned after years of study and trading

If constantly being in the market isn't your style, you can set up alarms to tell you when the market breaks one direction or the other. I sleep with the laptop beside the bed. The fiance hates the sound of my computer going off, but enjoys spending ...

The insomniac game...

Hey, if you can't take a hundred pip trade delivered to your mailbox and make 50 bucks with it... you definetly don't need to subscribe. 1 mini lot would have paid for itself. If you locked in and got stopped, 50 pips then...

Is subscription worth it?

Well... I know my subscription just paid for itself a couple times over this morning. Thanks Vegas.

Is subscription worth it?

Just because it's not hitting the 337 doesn't mean it's not continuing to trend against you following the fib line. That' where the picture would make it easier.

Would this make sense?

I can name a couple things in the forex more painful than "coulda's" and "Shoulda's", namely "wish I hadn'ta's" Entering after the trade usually produces a pretty bad risk to reward ratio, don't let the psycology aspect of watching it go by get to ...
