Hi Wasp.

I would be interested to know what software/broker combination your API strategy uses. I have finished automating my strategy but Prorealtime does not have an API and my testing has been with spreadbets so I am looking for the next stage.

Many thanks

Charles
 
little sideline whilst cable does its thing during the week...

Not sure how many of you may trade any of the pairs in the attached picture but, seeing as they are weeklies and no one has anything to lose, any thoughts and analysis on any of them...

Free BBQ and beer at mine for the winners










(plane ticket not included) :LOL:

lets do it the other way around, you pay the plane ticket, i pay for the beer :cheesy:

Kiwi

pullback to broken trendline, then to target .6580 in about 2 - 3 weeks, probably 4. book the tickets for then. :cheesy:

j

edit: look for the pin bar setups blending bars. daily beginning of jan, monthly currently at play. Weekly has a relatively clean pinbar setup from the last 2 weeks.

Hmmm, how did I know you would be the one to tick 'something else' DC!? What that something else is would be fascinating to know...

Okay, Jacinto, we'll see how it pans out! Hows about I buy your beer on the plane for a compromise!

Insomnia getting the better of me caused me to look at the GBP/HKD last night as I went through the pairs on moneyrain and for some bizarre reason, it matched cable pip for pip, very strange... when I get time I'll compare it with a different feed but very strange occurance all the same......

next forex traders meet down under then

You can fill us all in on the 'something else' option...! :LOL:

Unless of course its something only those in the elite arena of knowledge and the S club___ could ever grasp and to tell would be breaking the rules....

(ps. can you introduce me to Rachel Stevens?!) :cheesy:

It reminds me of when I was about 8 there was something called the bazooka joe club secret decoder rings invisible ink and all that
 
Pinched

Had to grab this off the 'brokers revenge' thread...........

The NFP's off the last 12 months, in comparison, weren't as bad as I thought they'd become

hi wasp,

regarding GBPHKD, i thought the Hong Kong dollar had a fixed (or at least semi fixed) peg to the USD. that would explain. if EURHKD matches EURUSD to the "pip", that should answer it.

Close mate, Its actually 8:30 pm and I shall be around.... Trading manually of the 4hr so I catch a couple of hours kip here and there. I'm not a big fan of sleep, overated!

Jacinto, it was close but not like cable and HKD... very strange, unfortunately its pip for pip, would have been nice if HKD was about one candle ahead :LOL:

wasp, think you compared eurusd with eurnzd. anyway, will be easier to find out about the currency scheme Hong Kong has. will find out in its Central Bank website.
