  5. Took it off for another 70 pips. Moving capital to another opportunity, and also because I may not be watching it for rest of day.

  9. I cannot log to OANDA server? Is anyone having a problem. I checked on market watch, and I saw that EUR/JPY was at 163.30 at around 6PM.

    This OANDA really sucks. I wish I could log to decide what I should do. This may lead me to miss 37 PIPS gains.

  10. I'm slowly diversifying re brokers, don't trust any of them, will eventually have 5 or more I use regularily. Never let capital build much either always take it out regularily. The waters are shark infested evidently. I'm sorry to find that out even if it is mostly by others' experiences. So far I've only been the recipient of a few glitches that have caused occasional miss of profit. Bad trader experiences are many it seems.

    Not wanting to detract from the forum topic too much, the EUR/JPY seems ambigous at the moment in terms of direction so will wait for ideal entries where one can be wrong about big swing direction and still get at least a bounce. I like the formum's email elerts and although often afk when they come in, do get the occasional good E/J trade out of it that I might otherwise miss sometimes. Watching many pairs makes missing one pair's setup a bit easier. Keep those post coming. I'll try and contribute when I can :cool:
