    Shorting NZD/USD at .5780

    Looks like a big topping pattern since 10/29. Target around .55

  2. Eat this Oanda, and stick your price manipulation, slippage, and wide spreads up your ar$e :eek:

    lol, I forgot I was trading, I thought I was in an amusement arcade playing a video game :D

    Trades: Dunno, loads, too many
    Pips: Dunno, lost count and can't be arsed to count them
    Profit: Yep, truck loads, I just hope Oanda didn't hedge!

    .....oh and one loss when I clicked the wrong button by mistake, lol (Eur/Jpy 16:04)

    I'm gonna rip 'em a new one until they ask me to leave, I'm leaving anyway so I may as well get my money's worth....fuck 'em

  4. Tell me about it Cable! Damn brother, I got in and out a couple more times but got nowhere near that massive 250 pip move. ha ha

    I got about 65 of 250. I was pissed!

    Got jerked around all night for about 30 pips net. Last night was total chop and slop. After about 11 hours straight I went for a jog with my German Shepherd...come back and have missed the bulk of what was to be a ~ 250 pip move. Damn! ha ha

  5. Not half as pissed as I was, look where I sold on CMC, at least you got 65 out of it......I got 9!!

    3 times I sold and came out, sheesh, lol

    Ah there's always tomorrow, I wasn't going to trade today with the holiday anyway.....:D

  6. I feel your pain bro. Man oh man.

    I'm with you on the holiday thing, that's really the main reason I quit for the day. Normally I'd stay up and trade some more, but damn today is Veteran's Day and tomorrow is my Bday, and that's a damn holiday as far as I am concerned. ha ha

    Came back to see I missed the move. Shitty early birthday present from the market.

    Hey bro, you have to admit though, after those hellacious moves we caught a few weeks back in euro yen we can't even complain about some shit like this. ha ha ha

    Excellent work on the gains Cable...you too Reaver. Looks like we should be in for some more once we get below this 1.25 support*

    I'm still holding short on the EUR with multiple lots...also short NZD/USD (as posted above by someone) with a small USD/CAD long.

  8. Thanks Sam, good job on the EUR trade. I bet you are happy as a pig in shit right now bro!

    Good trade. I think she has a lot more in her to the downside too. Maybe, maybe not...but either way you made a really nice trade.

  9. I have been watching s&p these days when trading fx. Sold usd.cad 1.2088 when I saw s&p trying to bottom and a rather quick 90 pips.

    Only if this happens more often :)

    Yeah, I'm happy for now but am looking to see some more weakness ASAP.

    It will be a funny post when I come crawling back, reporting that my 150point in the money trade was stopped out at breakeven.

    But at this point, I'm letting it do it's thing. I've cut my gains short too much in the past, only to see the trade continue as it should. I must say though, carrying a trade this far in the money is a very foreign feeling to me. Hopefully I can get over this.
