Tony, How long do you look for the price to be in a small (1-2 pip range) prior to the open? Seconds, minutes, hours?

Central Banks & Big Players

There are plenty of foreign brokers/banks that will accept U.S. customers. DBFX, Saxobank, and Dukascopy to name a few, none of them have to follow the NFA guidelines.

Thanks for posting another system. I've followed your Central Banks thread and am interested to see your progress with this "L" system.

5 Seconds " L "

I moved to trading the cross this month and have been having success with it. Yesterday's move was pretty crazy, but not all together unexpected. The suprise was the second push higher because of heavy buying in the USD/CHF, possibly by the SNB or a ...

NFA Rules — This might not be news to anyone else but just in case I thought I'd share. The June issue of Currency Trader Magazine says that along with the new hedging rules imposed by the NFA, U.S. brokers will be required to start closing ...
