Just logged on to GFT Dealbook this morning, it's normally very reliable but there seems to be a gap in the data from 0815GMT for about 90 mins. During that time EURUSD, GBPUSD & AUDUSD all jumped significantly. I had no positions overnight so it didn't affect me, but if I had I wonder what...

Stopped out :-( Going to sit on my hands for a couple of hours to see which way EURUSD is going today, bit wobbly at the moment

Long EURUSD 1.3170 Stop/TP +/- 25

Stopped out at -6. Hurrumph.

I'm in at 73 .... down she goes (hopefully)

Me too, if it hits 1.3070 I'm in for a quickie. Not convinced yet.

Thanks, I try to look at the 1hr for direction, the 4hr for historical context, and supposedly the 5min for entry

And I'm out @1.485 for +10

Oops, that was 10 mins ago, forgot to hit Post. Still in, not for much longer

Short aussie @1.0495

Can I ask ... what timeframes are you chaps using? I'm struggling to settle on one, which isn't helping my judgement. Waiting for the aussie to dip below 1.05, could be good for a short ... still waiting ...

Did my first trade with GFT this week too, and it was a winner :-) Had two more yesterday where I was up 25pips, unfortunately I was already down by the same having done an overnight trader on AUDJPY. Impressed with GFT overall, like the platform and their daily webinars are good.

Great info Peter, thanks - food for thought. Here in the Uk it's bed time.

Well ... seeing as you offered .... I'm curious as to what prompted that trade? I've looked at with various timeframes and indicators, but it's got me stumped. There's been a strong downward momentum all day, and it looked to me like it was pausing for breath before resuming the slide...

Thanks Peter (and the others who replied), thats very generous - much appreciated. I will no doubt take you up on that :thumbsup:
