Central Banks & Big Players

I have looked into market profiles and thought they are pretty interesting. I have read a paper somewhere which gave detailed stats about retracement percentages maybe I can dig it up again. Anyone found something interesting so far?

What does volume tell us about the market? Volume patterns?

Most of the allegations made against a broker to rob their account is just another reason people find to make someone else responsible for their failure. I didn't say people should be happy once their stop got hit but if they educate themselves ...

OANDA Discussion

What is there to comment about? Oanda is well known to widen the spread around news time. You even can look it up on their homepage. It's repetitive and you can expect it, it has nothing to do with "spread robbing" they increase their spread but ...

Currently I am trading FOMC with a very very small risk due to the nature of spiking shortly before the release. Maybe I need to adjust the sl even shorter before the event or give the trade a bit more room to breath. I am having more luck with AUD ...
