    depends what was the size of your position...for 1 lot of $100k its $10 on cable and euro, and varies $7.XX with other crosses. eurgbp is $16.xx/pip.

    Thanks....

    I am thinking of trading the above via IB using Sierra/mytrack for futures feed.

    AQ`Z on mytrack and Euro on the IB TWS.

  8. Rezo S,

    Interesting trading philosophy. I am going to take some time and read the whole thread later on, but the immediate question that I have is simple. How do you determine your initial stops? Excuse me if you've been through this earlier, and should you choose not to go into it again I'll understand. :)

    Hi there.
    Yes, you're right, I was asked couple times about this, and I don't know where it is now to link you, but I will not leave you without answer. My stop is being calculated using simple algorithm, and main component is recent volatility. I also tale in consideration fib level, supp/res levels, and depending on those, calculated stop level may be moved slightly higher/lower. There are couple more things I consider...I hope you can understand that I cannot get into details on this...but that's how its done.

    Regards,

    Rezo
