Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

morning all
lovely arrers buy on gbpjpy this morning.Shame I couldn't get myself into gear earlier. Would have been a nice 100 points

Hi Hilary,

you are a sharp cookie .

I saved some charts and stuff into a word doc, so I didnt have to keep looking back at the thread.

I must say your my hero now,, I have taken 50 pips on EJ today .

Just looking at the same trades on GJ and it would have been 120.

I have never looked at the 1 min before , but I will from now on .

Ian

Hils, sorry never got round to posting a new thread with arrow thingie on yesterday, had in laws visit, will start a new thread up tonight.

hi everybody, two emas that seem to work nicely with the 1 min chart are -

5 ema close and 6 ema open

I am not sure which brokers you all use.

here is a pic of some IB spreads so you can compare.

Hmm. How very inconvenient that Buderim has a document showing other people's settings and at the same time I'm seen to be sending info out to other interested traders. It's nothing to do with me Hils, Buderim would you please confirm? Any stuff I send to other folks is only stuff that's in the public domain and I'd never reveal any confidences. Have only been in touch with CC anyway.

errmmmmmmm,


there seems to be a bit of a mis-understanding going on here.

I dont have a document from anyone , All I have done is cut and paste a few posts that I thought were useful into a word doc so i can keep them together.

I can assure you all , I am just trying to improve my trading , which if today is anything to go by ,it has :)

Ian

It's no problem, Bud, but I'm sure you can see why I was more than a little intrigued by the title of the Word Doc. I'm flattered.

:o)

I imagine meggers will be choking on his crunchy nuts ;)

How do you know he's got crunchy nuts?

:o)

Sorry if I caused a stir - just looked like a conspiracy :-)

Have to say I haven't got any of meggers settings. That should let him swallow more easily...

Hi Hils,

I dont know what your system is, I just got some good ideas from your posts ,I have never looked a parabolic before , but I saw you mention it to Ruth as a good stop method, I am finding it really good for entries as well.

I have also been using a couple of Hull moving averages set at 8 and 21 which are quite fast moving and give a quite a good idea of short term trend, I have also been using a faster MACD 10,20,9 which gives good signals when used with the parabolic.

I really like the way the jpy pairs move , if your on the right side you get a bloody good ride.

When I have done a bit more testing I will send you what I have .

Ian

Nice post number 78 Hilary. I thought things were going down hill for a moment. I'm sure we all try things others are using that are postied on the thread. We're all trying to improve everyday I'm sure.

For my part, my health has taken a turn for the better so the Doc says so hope to get my head in gear again.

Now what was that I read about arrers..................

This unwinding of the carry is starting to look a bit serious now.

The $/JPY uptrend from 2005 got well and truly smashed last week.

Indeedy. The stockbrokers will be jumping soon.

Don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but my Great Grandaddy was killed in the crash of 1928. A stockbroker jumped out of his office window and landed on his shoe shine stall.

:o)

I expect that messed up the shoes a bit :S

that could explain alot

what a crackin morning for forex, not actually traded it cause some kind soul has kidnapped the cmc account for a few hours to do some investigation work for me:-)
been watching it on ib though as thats where i will end up trading it once im more comfortable,the spreads do fluctuate more than i thought they would to be honest,but need to get to grips with how it works on there, its not quiet as simple as cmc where you just type in how much you want per point:-)

would have made hundreds of points today off the signals, nearly all of them short,
stocks have been good today for moves , but still not a patch on this forex lark,
im getting hooked , once them trends start its superb,

Buderim, those are quiet nifty charts:-)

I have had many kind emails and people kind enough to give me settings or info which they dont want publicised or disclosed in the public domain , and of course i do respect and comply to such requests for confidentiallity, there are some things that just have to be kept personal :-)

This thread is great, the help is fantastic and forthcoming and i seriously think forex is the place to be, cheap dealing, big moves,low commissions, uk hours if desired , what else do u want,:-)
i do still love the yankie dankies though when i have an hour or two spare in the evening,

Ruth,

I don't know anything about IB, but what I would say is that I've seen the spread on cable on the CME futures open up to 30 or 40 pips on news. They tend to put small orders at touch with nothing backing it up behind. One side goes on the news and the spread opens up because there are no other orders behind it.
