Hi rsikit It's conversion of your profit/loss into your account currency, they're not ripping you off, but brokers like Oanda do it automatically when the trade is closed. What kind of rates are you getting for the conversion, does it tell you?
lol, 'M-something- or -other. No f'n idea how to use that'. No I haven't got a clue about that one either, what happens after an M....meltdown? Ah no, I just Googled it, M/W Bloomberg TV told me the VIX was below 50, they're so much better at technicals than me (not hard!), but there's a chart here. That channel is great isn't it! When I see something like that I just can't believe how easy this could be, it's us who make it complicated!
I used them a while ago but couldn't get along with their buggy FX Trader platform but they may have sorted that out by now. Other than that they seem to be ok, check out the reviews.
Hey Viper That's why I prefer fixed-spread smoothed-price bucketshops like CMC, the 'real' market sucks with it's wild moves and 30 pip spreads A while back I had access to Reuters 3000Xtra, wow, prices moving 100 pips at a time, scared the crap out of me :eek:
Long EURJPY at 126.93 , target 129, stop 126.40 . Did a couple of short scalps earlier, but now it looks like it can go back up. Stopped at trailing stop 127.40 for +47pips , will re-enter if it still looks good. EURUSD still seems confined in range up to 1.29 and US RTH coming closer. My bias is at looking for a upwards bounce and at least 129. EURJPY is going to continue being more volatile than EURUSD though. EURUSD will become pretty strong onwards, and ECB is talking it up as well - along supporting banking liquidity in EURUSD fx swaps (with 1.2840 base). I think USDJPY will go lower over time, so that will make EURJPY volatile.
Covered short at 1.8603, There has been a floor around 1.85-1.86, may go through it, I'll grab a few while I can
People have been asking for trailing stops for years, all we get is a pretty little green connection bar to let us know we're connected!
Saw your post on CMC. Not available stateside. Even if trails were available, it wouldn't stop the spikes Oh well, the devil you know,,,etc.
