Not really accurate. I got what I wanted from the brokers I have.

The key was Conservative TP. I've heard from experience, greed kills.

And for all those trading with lousy brokers, forget it. You cant whine and receive your cake.

Not actually... in actuality, I ought to have listened to my broker. The quotes that were exhibited seemed odd from the beginning... but I plowed on anyway. Not a very smart choice on my part... must acknowledge it.

LOL, this may be the sole timne you hear folks complain that they have filled. There was lots of time to make profit should you wre fast and astute.

Merlin,
Looks like the dollar is retesting the down side.
The technicals support your call

Whip!! 2 strong reports came out at precisely the exact same time!! The CAD had the most deviation of the two, which drove the US dollar upward, but the response to that was kinda belayed, meaning that there was a whipsaw during the volitility! I'd my TTO at roughly 5 pips down and up to the EUR, which is a no no for staddle (I must have made it 20 pips). But I got from it fast when I saw the market not having the momentum. I went and came out alive!! I bagged a couple of pips, nothing major. Subsequently it went! To about 40 pips! Which sux if I kept my position. Subsequently trading the retrace, because the Trade balance wasnt great for the US, I know that the EUR will be stronger buy low and sell high. And man, its going high around today, 1.2710 high. Time to shut shortly.

Yeah looks like it accelerating today, EURUSD back to 1.2715.

Using NorthFinance:

Traded GBPUSD and USDCAD using AmazingEA (straddle) with .10 lots each.

GBPUSD @ 20
USDCAD @ -6

Was trying to manually shut USDCAD when it is still @ 7 but NorthFinance connection becomes down and up. . .After trying and tryingfigure out how to shut it manually. . .but not until it is at -6.

Yep Merlin, that is where I closed my place !! and quit Overall, a shitty day for alot of peeps. 2 STRONG reports out, which ought to be an indiion to exchange not big. Im happy with 1350 profits online demonion . As im typing this, the dollar taken up to float .2725 (from .2715) area, man I type slow, hehe. I dont understand pips I left now, I would say its about 20-30 pips, 5 lots roughly.
