The charting library I use right now is rather crap, it uses a lot of resources for drawing (JFreechart), I'm thinking of moving the charting software part out to a C library so it's faster but it may not be necessary if I can improve the code or ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Bloody hell, I had 1.3474 as TP for my shorts @ 1.3525, I chickened out and TP by hand @ 1.350. 15 mins later the E/U dropped like a rock to my original TP. Man, I should probably quit trading. EDIT: I can feel the urge to go in with a 10x lots ...

4a) I only know Java so that's what I'll go with. I'll move high performance part to C code and integrate it with my java App. I do this for a challenge, profit later. 4b) N/A 4c) I'll help if I can. I'm here to learn. By the way, I'm not familiar ...

I'll go diving with you too, held shorts from yesterday @ 1.3525. Glugluglug. The market is acting strangely at the moment so I can't say much.

I'm writing an experimental java chart client at the moment because I'm bored, if you need help, gimme a holler, I may be able to help.

Exited all my shorts @ 1.3502, banked 40 something pips, missed the short @ 1.36. Can't wait anymore, have a nice weekends guys, I'm off to bed, 4 am already.

My long term is bearish because of the current situation @ EZ. I'll hold on my shorts because I believe in the inevitable realization that the EZ doesn't have the capability to solve its current political mess. Of course there's still the ...

Well that rally sure was short lived. I think there will be another rally when the London and NY boys take their profits, I don't see 1.39 or 1.40 anytime soon. Gotta be patient.

Golly, got home from the pub to find 50 pips red. My sell order @1.3543 got filled and now I'm underwater. Well, let's see how far can we rally. I'll close this trade manually if we ever got to 1.4 and open 10x shorts there instead. So all of this ...

My sell limit @ 1.3543 missed by 9 pips but 1.3525 hit, woke up with 60 pips green, banked them all just now. I find out that the less I do, the more I gain. I used to babysit my trades now I work them out and let them take their courses. There's ...

That's what I always do, go in with small position and build it to full lot. I have been waiting for 1.354 since forever to put in a small lot but that never came. Can you elaborate more on the risk asset part over the weekend? Thanks.

EurAnalysis

I've heard of this and to me it's a waste of equity. If you have strong conviction that asset X will do better, why not trade asset X instead of Y? I only like hedging when you have both long and short open at the same time. For example you go short ...

If E/U doesn't retraces but just range under 1.35, would you add more positions? It's really weird there hasn't been any decent retracement at all, I'm afraid if I got on then it retraces I'll be way way under water.

Cool, I would love to have a AUS based account too, everytime I withdraw I don't lose $$$ to bank comission. More on the lower comission, have you got a hard and fast number yet? I didn't think they would bond with customer so I never bothered to ...

PT, I've always wanted to ask, forex does not correlate with any real volume movement at all, only speculations right? I mean, it's just one giant market with sellers and buyers to speculate on 2 economies. Are there orders that correlate to real ...

EurAnalysis

Just what is going on with E/U, it's just kep dropping like a rock without any decent retracement at all. Should have held on to my shorts.

EurAnalysis

Exited all positions again @ 1.3455 with 50 green pips. I see a wall @ 1.3550 so I'll have a short limit @ around 1.3543. Worst case scenario is a huge retrace all the way up to 1.3624 or 1.7377 area which I'll build more positions there. As I post ...

EurAnalysis

I thought the asian session would be quiet, I laze around a bit and missed the 40 pips drop. If this continues, London and NY are going to be crazy.

I'm getting itchy fingers here, 1.35 broken in 5M TF.

EurAnalysis

+1, these are PA level I had on the chart. I seriously doubt 1.37 can be reached, much less 1.376. My short orders are @ 1.3624 range.
