Not much happening. I short EJ at 162.9 and long EUR/HKD at 12.29 last night before going to bed. Closed out both positions for small profit from EUR/HKD covering losses on EJ. EJ 163.11, -21 EH 12.314, +24

You still think it is heading for 162.3?

I know..... It was a joke..... Bad one obviously.....

Thanks, I just sent a ticket to IB, and I did not cancel the order so they can see it straight away. I am cursed!!!!! Feels like someone is just aiming for my stops!!!!! :crap:

Lets go down to the pub~~ It does look like it a break up or a pull back with 163.4. Are we allowed to chat in here? Won't get slapped by the moderators?

I think it should be at least 164, the way it is holding up. Hopefully I can get in at a pullback..... I am sure they were in. When I came back they were sitting in the open orders panel, all green and submitted.... I hate webtrader... I am gonna spend some money buying a home server and remote into my computer at home from work and trade from the proper TWS. Having the worst luck this week.... Except for monday, the YM has moved to the point of my stops and then shot down the other way for the whole week.....

I set a bracket order to buy EJ at 162.65 sell limit 163.1 stop 162.4 @ 12:30pm UK time, came back from meeting just now It did not execute.... I hate webtrader........ :frustrated::bang head::bad idea:

Closed 163, +1.5

Thanks, changed the stop to 162.22. :thumbs up: Beginners luck. Like the frist time I short at the same time as FW in T2W. Then it usually goes downhill............

Short EJ 163.015, stop 163.2 Sorry for being abit slow. But first time trading FX, had problems setting up the stop. Is 0.185 enough for a stop?

Stopped out at 825.... -10

Long YM 12835

Closed 925, +5. Doesn't feel right...

Long YM 12920, stop 12900

Yes, first profit I have made thats more than 15 points in the past 3 days..... Missed entry premarket. Waited for confirmation to go up at around 13030, there was a long disscussion in the chat room about it going up or not as well. Long at 13055, closed 13125. +70

I can feel a storm coming :fight:

Thanks, filling in the app now~~ Sorry for posting in the wrong thread.......:crap:

Thanks Wasp. I shall have a good look at the thread. This might sound like a stupid question, but do I have to open another account to trade on Meta or can I link it up to my current broker? I am using IB at the moment. The contracts there are 125000x for EJ, abit too large for me...... :shocked:

Hi Wasp, Is the stop for your GJ short 203.25 or 204.25? Also, I am gonna start learning how to trade FX, as I work in FI and currency which means I can make full use of resources at work~~ One more thing, what contracts do you trade? I found the RY and PJY, but PJY don't seem to work.... Also, are there mini contracts? Sorry for all the question.... Thanks~~ :thumbs up:

Metatrader is awsome and I think its more than enough for what I use anyway. I agree prorealtime is very expensive.... I guess I will just have to stick with the slightly delayed Bloomberg machine at work and keep looking back and for from the webtrader. Thanks guys, you have all been very helpful!!:beer:

I mean for the charts~~ This is so cool~~ And its much faster!! I can actually click and move the charts without it freezing!!! One more question, have you guys heard of prorealtime? I was looking for some charting software to use in the office and came across this, looks quite good with the free account, but very expensive with the real time data, do you guys use it?

What program do you use? Thanks

I find TWS to be a bit slow when I try to draw on the charts or use the chart trader it oftens get stuck for about 5-10 sec. I think the charting software is more important and if possible, it can be loaded from the web like TWS as I cannot install anything on the work computer. Thanks!:applaud: Does this mean I have to downgrade my Java?? I am currently using 1.6_05. Sorry how do I use this code? I have an Intel Macbook running Vista on bootcamp. My destop is DuoCore with 2 gb ram. Is it slow due to my computer being over a year old? This looks very useful, but I seem to only be able to get forex data. Will I have to pay fees to get the futures data?

Wow! You are all up early! Thanks for all the replies! I am abit slow on the computer.... Let me check all these out, might take a few minute! Thanks!!

Morning all, I have a question. What software do you guys use to trade and whats the advantage about it? I am getting quite annoyed with TWS always being slow and stuck..... Thanks
