Sounds like another solid idea! I think the more pairs you trade and the more trades you make, you will average out to a nearly flat interest rate exposure. Let's say I have 100 trades on the EUR/USD. Now that we are trading in both directions, ...

I wouldn't have a problem with this approach. As long as doubling up on a trade also decreased your overall exposure risk to a currency you might be overexposed to.

You only lost 265 pips on GBP/JPY? I lost 597. How did you manage that? EDIT: OOPS! Nevermind! I see that I vastly overstated my loss! Thank God! I'll now be going back to edit my post.

I've always placed my limit orders at the same price as my TP's. Oanda has yet to miss an order when a TP is hit. In my experience, it has been instantaneous.

I manually closed this position because the weekend price fell outside the 80/20 levels of the new week, and because my broker, Oanda, allows weekend trades. I will only make this move if the price I pay (with the wide spread) is still better than ...

Glad to see someone was able to validate this. Not only let it ride, but give yourself ample room to let it ride.

I would trade every major cross allowed. You can not diversify enough!! Just because the exotics give a lot of pips, does not mean they are the most profitable. You have to dial down your risk on those.

I'd love to see your results. Just like any moving average, the shorter the input period, the more the average wavers. So the question is, will chopping the data down to six weeks eliminate the ability to tell deviation from the true trend, or will ...

Yonnie, I'm very interested to see how your six week average works out. I think six weeks may be okay to determine your slope, but I'd caution you from using only six weeks of data for candle size. Just one crazy week in only six data points will ...
