T2W Forex Contest - Week 4

[superspurs]

I wonder if you could add a feature,like export history to excel.

 

[Sharky]

Yeah that should be easy to do. So would you want the list of closed positions from your account?

 

[superspurs]

Yes please.

Hot tip folks . . .
My USD/CHF short is a little off-side to the tune of $5k or so. Being the pro' trader that I am, I'm now in 'hope' and 'pray' mode! Anyway, the hot tip is to go short now(ish) as price is seriously overcooked on the shorter timeframes, and has recently touched a major resistance level around 0.8383. If I escape at B/E (as I expect to do by this time tomorrow at the latest), you'll be $5k up.

I should charge for tips this good - ignore me at your peril.

based on 15min tf I've shorted it...

On longer TF it is an upside break-out to me...

If it's any consolation Tim I've been long since 13:15 (BST) and came out at 8383 8 minutes ago.

..but I ain't shorting the mutha'.....

 

[timsk]

Doubting Thomas' eh!
Mark my words, 0.8391 is the swing high and it's started to reverse already. Don't miss the boat. This time tomorrow (if not before), it'll be making a triple botty around 0.8329 and I'll be back in the top 3 on the leaderboard!

 

[timsk]

Actually, it's probably a good job I've come unstuck on this trade, as I was starting to think this forex lark is a piece of cake!

Nice one Tony.
So, am I right in thinking that you're a breakout trader following a weak pishy pullback? (Okay, I'm sure it's a tad more sophisticated than that, lol!)
Tim.

Nothing even as fancy as that mate. I just fade you.

Tim.

On a serious note, no. A Breakout trader would probably have waited for the 8360 level to get busted.

It's a lot to do with the price moving more than it has been. Which is also a lot to do with why I got out when I got out. It stopped moving as much as it had been.

Plus another member introduced me today to a wicked double MA X-Over system...

I've got no idea where this one's headed next so good luck.

 

[counter_violent]

0.8410 looks doable

 

[TheBramble]

I also feel the action currently favours the upside, but not enough for me to be in at the moment.

 

[timsk]

Oh, cheers C_V. Kick a man while he's down why don't you!
For the record, I think you're right, but not before making new a higher low (preferably lower than 0.8347!)

Ok I've tried to call in some favours for ya, but they all kept saying Tim who ?

 

[Sharky]

If you're participating in this week's contest, then please let me know if stops/limits are working as expected. I'm hoping the answer will be a resounding 'Yes!'. Thanks everyone.

 

[superspurs]

Limit,s are working for me.

Paul,
I've just done a little test and I think it's okay. However, I've added a limit close on my 2 USD/CHF shorts - both are 6 lots - and I wasn't offered the option of how many lots I wanted to close. It appears this facility is only available with market orders. Is this correct - or am I being really, really stupid? Again!
Tim.

I think you owe me a drink. Or six.
Coming into an area of potential support, so you might want to take some profits off the table. Oh yeah, how come you were only short 4 lots?
Wimp!
