  1. Did a quick check. Only 1 complaint pertaining to a late NFA filing.
    Not sure on required market cap.

  2. EUR/AUD is approaching good support near 1.85's.
    China commits 1/2 trillion to itself? Sounds like socialism!:p

    Is anyone keeping an eye on the breakout setups on the GBP/USD & EUR/USD?

    The GBP looks about ready to bust through the 1.56 support and head lower...

  6. I closed a EUR/AUD short for 19. Went outside to rake some leaves and the mofo was up 400. Go figure. Should have listened to my own s/r lines. Still, no loss. No fuckin gain either! LOL


    GBP has support at approx 1.5550, I guess if it breaks south...

    Regardless, I'm short at 1.5631, looking to have this little downtrend on the 5 & 15min carry on into a breakout. If we get another "hard" bounce at 1.56, I'll close it early and re-enter.

    Any real push above 1.564 will result in an early close and will look for a re-entry later.

  9. Okay this is fucking ridiculous.

    I just took a long on e/u with Oanda.

    Normal spread on e/u is 0.9...going into Veteran's Day tomorrow, so they increase the spread to 2.5. I understand that.

    It sucks, but I know why it happened.

    I got 3 FUCKING PIPS SLIPPAGE on top of the spread! WTF??

    It's not a news release or anything! Oanda is a fucking marketmaker, why am I paying this widened spread AND 3 pips slippage from a marketmaking fx broker?

    I know I am coming off as a little riled up, but damn man seriously Oanda is going a little overboard these days.

    I started my trade at -5.5 pips on a e/u long. Total bullshit.
