ty...just testing my active trading abilities. Two nice days in a row. I'm still trading now. Focusing on usd/chf and eur/jpy today.
Today's scalping:
My scalping just brought my account over the 500 required to be in the King of the Micro contest.
One thing about my trading is that I rarely ever use limit orders. So when I'm clicking, i'm trying to enter a trade NOW. So the single(or double) is quite useful for me.
I don't like trading off the chart. I use the simple rate table and simply single click either the bid or ask.
CTRL-M brings up market-scope...which I don't want. I want everything docked in Trade Station. There don't seem to be a way to do this. It's all good though. I have marketscope up and all the trading tools on the left of the screen. Works ok....
Yea I can see where it could be dangerous...trading small sizes so its not much of an issue. I sure wouldn't do it with 100k's. You can also set it to double click rather than one click which would be much safer.
No I didn't see it. I guess i'll just have to detach everything I use and arrange them on my screen. I'm on a laptop with 17 in monitor....so I don't really have the room I need. I need to put together a good trading station with 2-4 monitors...then i'd be ready to go!
Another FXCM question. When the charts are docked into the trading station, rather than separate, how can I get the charts side by side rather than tabbed? Like cascaded or something.
I'm just scalping the one minute...so far 13 winners 1 loser. Its good for killin' time.
Long eur/jpy at current levels
When I entered my usd/chf short, I couldn't figure out why the profit was only in pennies...lol when I did, I had to click 9 more times to get my order up to size. I've never used the one click mode in FXCM, it's pretty awesome.
Not in single-click mode. I figured it out though, you have to expand the rate table and there's a dropdown box that allows you to change it. When in single click mode, you don't get a prompt, it trades instantly which is awesome for scalping.
NEVERMIND I found it.
FXCM users:
How the heck do I change the position size for orders in one click mode? It appears to default to micro's, ie (1k)....
Short usd/chf 1.1427 Stop at 1.1455...tp unknown yet.
Standards would have made for a nice day!
Bought the current eur/jpy 1min dip
Here they are...lol lot of work for a few bucks.
i'm still scalping the micros. Hit up aud/usd and eur/jpy this time. I'll post my single microlot scalping results in a little bit. I'm doing it as a test to see if I am capable of such scalping....so far, so good.
closed the trade for +28 only .01 so just a couple of bucks.
I bought the eur/jpy quick dip
It has been quite friendly to me today. I stopped because of the rate coming up. Once the craziness goes away, I'll start back scalping.
I'm scalping micro's on eur/jpy...just for fun. All buys on dips of 10-20 pips. Haven't lost a trade yet out of about 10.
lol...She's 54 how old are you?
I'm restructuring The FX Hub's homepage....comments and suggestions would be very appreciated!
Happy birthday! It's my Mothers birthday as well!
USD/CHF Broke a daily trendline. I'm short with targets of 1.13, 1.1240 and 1.1170. Annotated in the chart. Closed my aud/jpy longs for a couple of pips..was quite underwater overnight.
EDIT: Nevermind...it's the post before! lol My day hasn't been the greatest, but my week has been well, so I can't complain.
Added a couple of mini's long aud/jpy at about 69.75 looking for 73(probably close much earlier than that though.)
My beast trades stopped out...
I got a notice from forex.com that my MT4 account is being shipped to the UK. I guess thats a way to get round the hedging regulations.
Closed my aud/jpy shorts for nice profit. Still have some lingering gbp/jpy shorts that are in the minus. Stops are at 143.85
BOC Mentioned Q/E...
My usd/cad trades stopped out while I wasn't paying attention. Pretty big drop. I would suggest shorting on rallies given that support break.
Yea, as soon as these positions are gone, i'm gone for the week. I think Friday will be deceptive, so I won't be trading tomorrow.
Thanks for the clarification. It works for me either way...pushed my red positions into green finally. I'm going to close everything out soon as i'm overleveraged. I have 9 minis opened at the moment....they gotta go.
I don't know what the housing starts results were, but they just put me back in the green overall!
I use forex.com-MT4 and am pleased with their service. They have excellent customer service as well.

I'm also catching up on my TIVO and am watching The Ultimate Fighter. As you may or may not know, I am a fighter.
