Very slow afternoon for me. I was busy for the morning and missed the 'hate on euro' sell off.

I am still very happy with IBFX but there was a glitch that cost me about 7 pips when their servers went down. I hope this is not a common thing with them. Does anyone who has been using them for a while know how often this happens.

Here is a transcript of my chat with their help.


Thank you for contacting us. The next available agent will be right with you. Our goal is quality service. You may tell us how we do today by clicking HERE.
You are now chatting with 'Client Services 80'
Client Services 80: Hello this is Burke. How may I help you?
you: Hi I am mini account ##### and a new candle has not opened on the 15m chart and the price is off compared to other providers. My platform has not changed in 20 mins or more on any pair?
Client Services 80: Okay. It looks like the price feed on that particular server is frozen. However, our IT department has been made aware of the issue and will be resolving it as soon as possible.
you: How can I close my eur/usd trade without a loss at current real price? Thanks.
you: It looks like feed is back. I will close it now at a tiny loss. I hope no more of this is to happen in the future
Client Services 80: Actually, the feed is back up.
Client Services 80: We're doing our best to prevent that.
you: Thanks, I really seem to like you guys. I hope this is just a rare occurrence. Thanks again for your help. Bye.
Client Services 80: My pleasure, thank you for contacting IBFX.

Yeah I know, no trading on Sunday. Well USD/JPY was showing some movement today so I took advantage.

The above result is on intraday trades only. I have a few longer term trades on the guppy that I will not count until closed out.

Hey MTP, are you going to be calling your trades as you actually take them?

My longer term trades I might. Not a bad idea.

My intraday trades are too fast for me to do a write up before taking.

Here's a swing trade for you. As of right now, I am buying Euro/USD on the way down. Use good mm because my swing trades I buy very very little at a time and my overall long term outlook is down for Euro.
