Well it could be worse, you could be staying in losing ones! Give that trendline idea a shot to take your focus off the $ aspect, that way it's the market telling you when to exit.
Agreed. Was the $ factor that obvious? Appreciate the advice, happy to see someone sticking to the script. Looks like it's loading up for another run.
Oh eh, I'm no exception when it comes to taking profit too early (as can be seen from my blotters, lol), if someone has any ideas then please post them! I just see a range everywhere right now, I haven't made a trade yet today
You are right that the trend is still up -- that's why I cover on quick moves down. These moves down are becoming muted too. Probably better trade is being long except it is too close to the upper boundary of the recent range. I'm staying flat this for now.
Okay I just got filled with 8 pips slippage on e/j when the spread is 3. Not only that, but they are quoting e/j almost 20 pips different than my chart data feed. Okay, now prices are 21 pips different. This is bullshit. I should be up 20 pips already but I am stuck at breakeven. Similar thing happened yesterday but not this extreme. WTF is going on with these people? What's wrong with this picture?? It's not like they widened the spreads or anything, I have them posted right here. And yes, I reset my connection, and this is actually happening on two separate computers. I checked them both. EDIT: Okay now 10 min waiting for tech support with no luck. I guess they may be in financial trouble or something. Jeez, this is retarded. My data is quoting 122.85 now, that is 74 pips off. WTF? They better give me this trade.
This is just unbelievable. I've always been the one defending Oanda and saying they're the best thing since sliced bread. But even I must say that these data freezes are so unacceptable that I'm considering yanking my money. I simply can't operate like this.
Exactly. Same here. They've always been good to me until recently. And now they are being totally unacceptable. I should be up 130 pips now on a trade...they have me listed as -0.9. No one is answering tech support. Seriously they have like $150 million in capital, why can't their quotes fucking work?
