Quoting CrestwindDislikedMan I lost about 10 pips total on this report. I also got out to early and missed about 30 pips, but what makes me make is what broker did! I'm with forex.com and they did not fill my stop order at my price. NOT my entry stop order a stop of the position I had open before the news came out, over 25 pip slippage!!!!!!!! Not cool
Yet I have to say with them because I dont know another broker that I can switch to. Oanda is having its problems and 50:1 leverage means I have to depost more money for my trades....Well I'll just see how it works out.
Hope you guys are having a better day.Ignored
Quoting BurgerKingDislikedFor the love of forex, I had the gut feeling of a very good number favoring USD and I did not bother putting a LONG entry. I however was CHICKEN today; instead of the usually do 4-5 lots, I bet only 1.
Hmmm.. Hindsight, perhaps if I placed 4 lots, I may not be filled on my price?

Quoting MoneyMa$terDislikedSo what would you do next time, given an announcement that doesn't necessarily go through the proverbial roof? [rhetorically asked, but you think about it].Ignored

Quoting MoneyMa$terDislikedWould you believe my broker set a 15 pip premium...... on US retail sales news???
Still the initial push was 50 pips on cable 1.8950 - 1.8900 but all I managed to make was $1,100. Why because I set my take profit point at less than 20 points from my short entry. Slow day but still a great start for the weekend.
Note well: The broker didn't do anything to me... I simply set the TP too close because I didn't think retail sales would move the market 50 points. So what would you do next time, given an announcement that doesn't necessarily go through the proverbial roof? [rhetorically asked, but you think about it].Ignored
Quoting abcxyzzzDislikedIt's gay, that happened to me last week too, ...
