  1. Hehe,
    it has not been more than 2-4 pips on 3 scalps here now. I can live with that - it's worse with the sloppy fills.

  2. Oanda's spreads aren't too bad right now, slippage makes up for it though!

    Hey Gringinho, I'm still waiting for that link to your 120 and 117 Eur/Jpy short call, guess I could be waiting a while huh :D

  3. Had no problems with the spread. Had a problem with the piece of shit platform freezing up as it tends to do. Java is a pathetic platform for high net volume.

  7. I never made a short call on 120 to 117 on the EURJPY. I said that commentators were eyeing 120 as a target with 119.85 as projected Fibo level... and I said that 120 was just bullshit for support - since there are no support levels right now. Later I said that this was why we were seeing 117 ... or something like that.

    If it was my cup of tea and I thought the markets predictable - maybe I could have shorted and got a 1000pip profit like maybe some have booked after the US RTH ended. However, I doubt any out there have any foresight into these unpredictable markets. That is why I call "bullshit" on those "technical levels" right now.

    You are obviously busy trading, and just snipping wildly at what I have posted - so just let it lie - I'm not interested in flaming with you, but if you continue - I will have no problem holding my own, mind you.
    :p

    Here is what I actually said (when the EURJPY was roughly 124):

    For the EURJPY - everyone seems to be eyeing the 120 and talking about 119.85 as the Fibonacci projection target.
    Well, maybe that "makes sense" to some.

    Real resistance noted on 123 and 125 for the EURJPY, but my guess is they will be no match for a retrace if a bottom first forms on the EURJPY.
    ...
    Holy shit... I'm not sure 120 on the EURJPY will be any support, although some might take profits around there... it looks really, really bad...


    Now just let it lie, please - since you were just jumbling things around.
