Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

  1. Yeah man shit happens I guess. ha ha

    I took a long in eur/usd but immediately got out anyway..the breakout I was looking for failed.

    This shit at Oanda is starting to bug me.

    Good luck on the eur/gbp movement. Got some reports coming out tomorrow I see.

    Yeah, I saw that breakout you played...I'm really bearish on this so I held off. It did get a little movement to the upside but never seemed to break over that moving average.

    ...Just not a lot of defined movement right now...

  3. I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one!

    Spreads are stupid for a bucketshop, 7 on Cable at 8am, 20 on Eur/Aud, and slippage on every freakin trade!

    .....but at least the disconnections have stopped :)

  6. LOL yeah I think that was the solution...they noticed everyone was catching on about the magical disconnections anytime anything happened...

    So they just figured they'd leave everything up and running, but screw everybody out of pips via slippage and spreads. ha ha

    They still get the money they wanted either way. ha ha ha

    I am sure some dickhead in their boardroom had lots of cool graphs and charts to show Stumm, Olsen, and crew how they'd increase revenue and shut people up about frequent disconnects. ha ha


    Hey Sam, yeah still looking. I actually got long a few minutes ago in hopes of this move...so far it looks like it's struggling! may have to punch out of this one again if the picture doesn't improve.

    EDIT: Out again with a small loss. :eek:

    Late post but I got short on the EUR/USD at 1.2663...

    Of course this is after being down -50 points over the last two days shorting false breaks on this damn pair.

    Looking to hold for awhile...
