  1. My own experience has led to me to be of the opinion that OB and OS are two useless and extremely dangerous concepts, thankfully, I have managed to ban them forever from my thinking.

    huge stops? 1.6477 - 1.6455= 22 pip stop.

    Short term you might catch a few pips, I haven't seen a close above 1.6549. So I can see it going to 1.6513.. make a new low to lure the buyers back in.

    I am locked onto majority of the trend. I have moved my stop-loss to 1.6500.

    I try to get in when the trend starts, trading while the market is consolidating is too risky.

  5. Anyone else have that spike down on the GBPUSD at 15:57 ETD? I use FXCM - so I am wondering if any other brokers fed out the same spike. Just curious.

    that just goes to show how dealing desk and "non dealing desk" brokers are a bunch of crooks..

    ECN pricing is the way to go.

    From the looks of the spike. it actually opened 33~ pips lower than the previous close..

    brokers who don't show you this kind of info are full of shit. especially ibfx's "no dealing desk." crooks.

    short 1 EUR/AUD at 1.7379

    stop: 1.7414
    target: 1.7279

    AUD/USD rally has got to stop and EUR/USD will regain speed...hence, I am bearish EUR/AUD...you?
