im thinking the long term is long, every time it moves a major direciton, before it moves, there is usually a stop hunt to the opposite side.. keeping my net out to catch it at 142 and up.

upon further investigation, looks like if you trade with dukascopy bank, they need at least $100000 to trade with a FIX API, wonder how much it costs for IT guys.. 100000 a year to keep it smooth?

Equity is needed to avoid retail brokers

yah, I understand that, but that doesn't fully answer the question, what is considered high networth, 10 million equity? 100 million? 1 billion? 10 billion?

Hey guys! today there was .3 pip slippage.. To combat slippage, I upped my tp to 6 pips instead of 5, seems to work for now! as far as gbp/jpy goes, its still meandering... Happy pips all!

plus cad/jpy isn't really a "major" pair, if you trade eur/usd you don't really see crazy spikes beyond the 5pm est reset, and the occasional "fat finger" order lol

OANDA Discussion

what time was that trade at? fyi, I don't use oanda, have no experience with them, nor trying to support oanda, just curious because out of 5 different brokers I've used, they all have wide spreads at 5pm, and have like a 4-10 pip increase during ...

well the reason I ask, is because all brokers have a finite liquidity limit. I.e. if you were trading directly with the banks with 300 lots, you would get a better fill time than a retail broker. Not that im trading that much yet, but I was curious ...

Do you only trade short term at 5:00pm est? or does it spike all day every day?

FXCM Discussion

Im thinking he's right, you can never loose, its how the hedge funders do it.. have an account that picks up shorts, and one that picks up longs, eventually they all return for a profit. Granted you have to be able to last through 15,000 pips ish, ...

Never Lose in Forex - Guaranteed

Last night one of my london breakout orders was triggered and successful! Sadly though, I noticed a bit of slippage at 2.5 lots. Wasn't a lot, around .4 but perhaps it just moved really fast? Going to step up the order to 3 lots tonight, see if the ...

From trying both methods, if your method doesn't have a set of rules that allow you to replicate profits, both long term and short term can be considered unsafe. guess that depends on how much patience you have?

USD/JPY Discussion

right now I have my eyes at gbp/jpy buy stop at 140.81, and 138.55 as a sell stop. I also have been toying with a london breakout method, worked today, but I am going to see if it works at larger lot sizes for the broker I use. trade safe during ...

I feel like this system could be profitable if you only play 1 side, and not both. Perhaps short if it has been really overbought, or buy if it has been an extended oversold. 1 week you may be having 300+ pips, where as the other is a wash out. But ...
