  1. That you are even asking suggest to me you are new. Probably also means you don't have a clue as to what you are doing.

    If so, prove to yourself that you can be profitable first even if it is only paper trading. After that and you want to risk real money dial down the leverage to no more than 5:1 to start with, preferably less.

  2. EURUSD 2,000,000 at 1.3478 (tried at 1.3475 but a little slippage) - to above 1.40ish - preferably 1.45 - stop will consider at around 1.30, IF that looks like the case.

    There was a re-dip, anyone else get in? (I'm only risking -10% balance total on -500pips, but want that +20% on +1000pips)
    :)

  3. Do you use market orders? And if so do you get jewish fills often?

    I do with my orders of similar size.

  5. By Jew Fills I mean paying more spread than I feel I should be.

  6. It was a market order at a fast moving market, and I've never heard that expression before...

  8. Well I take my hat off to anyone who's trading this craziness and making money!

    I made 4 pips and lost 20 in the space of about 30 seconds! Volatility is one thing but this is just a little too crazy for me.

    Good luck everyone!
