So I no longer have access to the data feed basically before the market normally opens for me.
So I can see nothing until 4PM EDT now. I guess for $1000 sitting @ forex.com it was worth it to get the data feed. A good data feed in addition to your broker is a good way to get another view into the market I think.
I can do with out it but it was nice to have.
Open? I thought Sydney was the first open at 6pm Eastern time ā¦ who is open & where? On my ODL MT4 chart it is not showing movement, ditto on my FX Sol charts
I am long from Friday at about 212.40 avg. Not sure if I will be able to add many more positions 'cause want to keep margin at a safe level.
OK, looks like FX Sol is showing action now, though very slowly. Gap down open? Is that what you were referring to earlier? How did you know that in advance?
Hey everybody,
Long time no post. I have had a busy busy week (understatement, but I wonāt go an futher). I made some dough shorting her but now am going long. I am so glad, long is soooooo much more fun and rewarding with the current trend and positive swap. We could be in for another fall but I can hold out. I wanted to go ahead and get my longs in just in case the 214 gods are calling.
I am with IBFX and will have to wait before I can see any movement.
Guppy has been good to me lately, but I took a few hits this week trying to scalp and got and my butt kicked on other pairs.
Just a word of caution, donāt get tanked up on Miller Lite and start trying to scalp huge lots. Itās fun while you are doing it, but sucks when you wake up.
Itās ok though, I lost less this past week then I made the week before. I will go update my thread shortly even though no one reads it. This thread has all the action.
I am a big fan of this strategy even though I will short her every now and then and trade this with my own filters. I hope I am welcomed here with my alternative views that donāt always see eye to eye with this exact system. I see we had a scuffle while I was away. Andrew did real well. He could have ripped that guy a new one and chose a different route that put him in his place without going down to his level.
But my GJ charts are set to the ASK or the BUY price. Since I am buying this is probably better. As is using the charting at the same place you are trading so the prices match up. But I do miss the Esignal feed and theeir charting software very much.
Lately if guppy is in an uptrend and has a gap down open, she will always go up to fill the gap. It seems you could bet the farm and make a fortune in an hour.
I wonāt try it. Murphyās law states the moment I try it, it wonāt work.
Funny how different indicators tell different stories ā¦ I think she is looking particularly strong on daily as compared to hourly ā¦ on Ichimoku chart, she is still in full go-mode on daily.
Good evening - hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! Iām short +84 pips in one account, +98 in the other rolling over from last week (the negative swap was ugly), but watching closely to see where the fish flows going into Monday morning.
Posted below is my typical fib fan chart, and a 3H (crazy Oanda)IKH.
On the fib chart, notice price opened below the top speed line(second red line from the top), but is caught between there and the 50% fib fan (next red line below). As I mentioned last week, the descending blue fan line, just above @ 212.70 (which coincides exactly with the dashed green dynamic resistance line immediately above) is the line to breach and hold.
On the Ichi chartā¦well, Iām going to take the Ichi analysis to the thread where it belongs, which I was remiss about posting in yesterday, as I had said I would. So, Iām off to do thatā¦ Come over and hang out with 4xStar and myself to get acquainting with Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, by the way, which is one of if not the most popular overlays among Japanese traders, whoāve been applying it for a few decades now.
Next time I post, hopefully weāll all be long and up a few pips.
