Look ‘Buddy’ I’ve read back through my posts and frankly I can’t see anything in them that is ‘aggressive’ or ‘rude’? The only thing that I can think of that might be construed as anything vaguely in this ball park was my opening post on this thread which began… ‘This is completely wrong, sorry it just is’… That was a statement of opinion, neither threatening nor rude. Now this might be a simple matter of ‘lost in translation’ across the pond… I don’t know. But just in case it was I apologised to you shortly afterwards but your still banging on about it like I trolled you? :58: Whatever you think of my opinion and trading is fine but it horrifies me to think you regard me as aggressive and rude… I’m a Brit right… are we not universally regarded as polite and gentlemanly?
[QUOTE=Nerys;294852] well read through R-c comments they were very aggressive and insulting and guess what I ran out of patience.
/QUOTE]
I read, and re-read looking for any sign of “aggressiveness, or insults”.
Didn’t find any, only found an opinion that differs from yours.
It took three whole posts to “run you out of patience”.
How do you make it through a day of trading?
Good luck with that!
“This is completely wrong… sorry it just IS” - a normal way would be to say, “I have a different view on the subject” because niether of us are wrong, just different methology although since you liked Buckscoder comment I am puzzled since he is saying opposite of what you were saying.
“Pearls before swine” - here you’re calling swine everybody who has a different opinion to you.
“LOL!!! Tried the better part of two years and all I got was trolled… now don’t bother! Outstanding methodology and thread by the way.” - Almost trolling and condescending reply.
“So what then pushed it up? If your saying news pushed it down? No worries, I’m sure your right.” - Another rude condescending reply.
“Surely not? LOL” - condescending yet again.
Really when you call somebody swine that’s taking things a bit too far isn’t it, buddy.
You did not apoligize shortly after, 4 comments is not shortly after.
And to think you started being so rude in the first place because of the difference in opinion is all more insulting. Just because your view differers from mine does not give you right to be a condescending pompous ***.
Especially since the whole conversation was lost in semantics, I am surprised you like Buckscoder because that was my point all along which seemed to have set you off.
Really I try very hard to be a neutrino in this “discussion”, lol. 
But I’m not sure if we both are on the same page. My opinion is for sure my opinion and not RCs and not yours. Albeit my opinion is closer to that of RC and eremarkets than to yours. Just saying. So please let me out of your “evidence” seeking for who is right or wrong, lol.
I mean, I really try to avoid any nitpicking flames. Not to say flames in themself are moslty nitpicking. Now it goes to swines. I hope you trade with it successfully, lol. I mean, it’s just a saying. Don’t take everything to your heart please! Ole traders usually are mabye not for the tender hearted all the time, lol.
And now be all friendly together please. And don’t throw rocks to me now that I just was frank with my opinion. I love you all! No, not that way somebody might hope now, lol. 
Hey, tomorrow is another big pips day. Prepare and be happy!
Well I apologised and in my last comment virtually did it again… there won’t be a third! You have demonstrated in your numerous posts ‘Pearls before swine’ is an apt analogy on then some! I won’t be taking any lessons in anti social behaviour from you anytime soon! LOL!!!
Hey Mr Buckscoder,
How are you doing?
Could you, please, explain to me how widening spread by broker can affect my open position? I tried to figure out by myself with no success. I ask you because you helped me a lot in the past and you have a knowledge in this things.
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
Hi pandras. Thanks and glad I could help you!
Hmm, I’d say if they widen the spread it could hit your sl or tp earlier. Whatever is closer. Usually that is the sl, tho.
No seriously, it can ONLY affect your sl. Because if you sell you get the ask as price and if you buy you get the bid as price for closing the order. 
So, it’s always bad for you if the spread is widening.
R Carter buddy I won’t be wasting time on your anymore, time will teach you.
well. that was fun! net time u guys should sell tickets… beats reality TV…thats’ for sure

You know… After spending 30 years as a trader for one of the worlds largest banks you would think that guy would know what the heck he’s talking about…
I guess some people would take golf lessons from Tiger Woods and try to tell him how to improve his swing.
Is it only bad then if my trade is going to the wrong direction?
Could also be for your disadvantage the other way. They move the target away from you. :16:
Example: You buy for an ask at x.
Target is 5 ticks up.
Spread was 1 tick.
Spread becomes 5 ticks widening bid and ask.
Now your target is related to the bid price. It was widened by 2 ticks. You need price to go 2 more ticks up than before. That’s 8 ticks away now. Your 5 ticks, the former bid of 1 tick lower plus the 2 more ticks for the wider spread.
Welcome in the world of certainty, fair play and quick bucks.
That’s why I prefer ecn brokers with tighter spreads and a little commission. The commission is always the same and the spread is variable, but tighter than with any market maker.
Thanks your reply. I am still looking for an ECN broker. I found a nice one but its deposit/withdrawal fees are very high compared to my amount I would like to start of.
I use Oanda now. I heard this broker sometimes widen its spread up to 20 pips I do not know it is true or not I have not experienced yet any excessive spread widening. (only from 1.2 to 2.5 on EURUSD and weekends spread is 10 pips, sundays 6 pips).
My pleasure! Well, Oanda is one of the better mms out there, so I wouldn’t worry too much. However, I heard they had issues with their mt4 platform lately. I wouldn’t care about the we[B]a[/B]kend spreads either, because its a weak end. No liqui.
However, 2.5 pips spread is not really small anymore. I have spreads with my ecn of 0.5 til 1.5 pips if not at the dead zone before the asian starts. Letz say it saves at least one trade with a 50 pips target for me that’s a lot of money. Best of all I can also see the dom.
I love the limit order book. I hardly ever use it directly (though threw out an effective “bluff” one time to push price into my target), and yet, I know a few things to look for and those seem to help me in those subtle but yet very powerful ways.
Edges on edges plus edges with edges for the win.

Same here. Works not all the time, but it can be another nice indicator if smart money is active or takes a lunch.
