Trade 6- Long @ 1.5937 Green line is the candle I entered upon. Well that was ugly, closed out my position at 1.5879 becuase the SDL repainted back to red and making that original signal invalid. It will happen occasionally. Nothing you can do about ...

TRADE 3-MACD FILTERED Short @ 1.5722 SL @ 1.5800 Note- Since im using the MACD as a filter I decided to bypass the ADX filter. When the ADX gives me a go I may add to position, sorta undecided as of now. Update- Damn I got rocked today. Closed out ...

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK (7/06-7/11) Lately I have been thinking about getting rid of the Accelerator Oscillator and Stoch’s. I find this more of a distraction then a benefit. It works, but I find myself using it more as filter then for the strength and ...

Entered @ 1.5698 Stopped out at 1.5708 (+10) I guess from not trading last week I got kinda antsy. I didn’t follow my rules to the tee. The reason that I got in early was the SDL turned to blue though there was no confirmation. Also the ADX green ...

that does suck and unfortunately it does happen. I was looking at my charts and the 8:35-36 M1 candle open at 1.5851 and closed at 1.5817. Doesnt seem like there is too much to be done about the slippage, you were just on the wrong end of it.
Huge slippage Thursday morning on EURUSD??
