top catching (highest for more than 12 months)

sell eur/usd at 1.3464 stop at 1.4004

stop should be 1.3504 - a small mistake there (500 pips)

top catching (highest for more than 12 months)

sell eur/usd at 1.3464 stop at 1.4004

close 1/2 at 1.3434 +30 stop to 1.3464 b/e

 

[ZEN archer]

close 1/2 at 1.3434 +30 stop to 1.3464 b/e

still in - it crept up within 0.6 from the stop (there is still hope for the remaining 1/2 - I'll leave it as it is)

not this time - stopped 1/2 at b/e

never mind - I'll wait for another drop (unless it breaks the top)

We're limited here in the US. I have 2 accounts with FXDD (MT4 and Viking) and an account with TD Ameritrade that I can use for stocks, options, futures, and forex.

Hi Branksome

I have accounts with few of them and tend to use one with the best execution (smallest slips and delays), narrow price deviations and low spreads. Apologies for not specifying.

Anyone short the pound today? I dumped in all my margin at 1.58 on Friday, woke up this morning it took a dive!

I heard from great sources the Euro is about to decline anyone shorting the Euro long against the Franc? Seems like a risky bet to me with a HUGE upside.

Thanks Peter,

I have an account with Global futures (open e cry) I dont actually trade forex, but trade futures. I would like to deposit more but I'm reluctant due to the fact that my money isnt protected as it would be with an english broker (f.s.a)

Was just curious if I was to make the switch.

On a seperate note, I've enjoyed following this thread as its one of the few honest ones out there!:cheesy:

Not against the franc, no. There's a possibility the peg could be raised to 1.2500. To risky to short that pair right now.

Just a thought....you could try transferring your Global Futures account to a US based branch.

Open E Cry is owned by Gain Capital.
Global, E, and Gain are all US based firms. IF your money is in the US or on deposit at one of these firms US branches then your money will be protected as well as the FSA firms in the UK.
I'm not sure what you are asking about switching? If you want I can put you in contact with someone at Global Futures who can better answer any questions.

Switching to a uk based broker (fse regulated).
I just thought that when MF global went wrong a lot of retail traders lost their money?

Its fine for the contact, I have a personal broker at global futures but just like to get an unbiased opinion.

Hi guys and congratulations for the thread. I monitor almost daily.
Are you posting only forex trades or other instruments as well, p.e. OIl ?

Since the topic is current, can I ask if you have any opinion as of Global, eCry and TD for futures trading ? How they compare ? Any pros and cons ?

Thanks
