Forex April-May 2017

Would like to get in 2-4 trades a month(more if we get swings)..actually made a small trade today bought lb/jpy when it bounced off the 200 SMA on the daily chart,not normally something id trade but i was up at 4am and this was something i liked chart wise.
I will be using same chart setup i had before DMI indicator,50,100,200 SMAs,stochastics and RSI indicators.
Having issues with my edge 7 getting on the investment forum??When i click all forums the page is blank,no problem at all with my note 3 which im using to post.Maybe Wall has some tips for me on this.

I think all the pair continue their direction up into our trading day tomorrow.
Im gonna sell $/Cad here 1.3390 Target 50-100 pips no limit set if she slips ill take more pips

Any sites you can recommend so I can learn and understand Forex?  

The whole game has turned upside down since we were more active, the dynamic has changed..

Slob open a practice account at FXCM..it free and you can trade in real time.
Wall i agree on the LB long position getting in at the right time will be a money maker.
My open trade hasnt moved much,i dont think she goes all that far against me but only time will tell,i like my entry point but had i waited 20 mins i couldve had 1.34 flat,no biggie only 10 pips.
You gonna trade or still trading Wall?

Slob for info and trading basic check out babypips.com and forexchurch.com lots of good info on those sites

Buck,

Wall i dont think there are any US friendly brokers out there,but thats not their fault.I am with FXCM,mainly because of the lack of options.I have pulled my cash out of all the stocks i was in...just not sure how much run is left.I did rather well in two stocks over the last year and half and im just gonna protect those profits for now.
Im not thrilled with the changes theyve made but i dont trust keeping my money where it was.

Sorry i chopped up my post up above..i was with fxcm because of the lack of options.I ended up closing out of all stocks in late January and trade thru TD Ameritrade..its where i had my stocks anyway.

Wall open an account with TD even if just a practice and check out the think or swim platform..its decent.I seem to remember somebody commenting on it before,might have even been you..been a long time.Mobile not great but im not concerned with that.

Yeah things have changed a bit lol.
TD isnt great spread wise...im gonna have to take a look at Oanda again myself and try to figure out what the spread difference and commission at TD will cost me long term.Its prob worth making the switch to be honest,plus the wife wont be able to check in on my trades :),your story is frightening as well.I just didnt want to go thru the process of moving the money around.Laziness cant trump profit though.

I couldve scampered off with 40 pips or so today but i think this can drop to upper 1.32s.I prob entered a day early had i waited i couldve easily had 1.3440s just didnt see it coming on my setup,i really liked it to slip lower than it did today.

Took a few days but shes giving in a bit finally..rise in crude maybe the extra nudge it needed after a mixed bag of data at the tail end of last week.Ibhavent pulled the trigger just yet lookn at about +75 pips but only $540 ish in this pair.
I think this drops a bit more got my eye on 1.3290s as possible exit.
Wall any thoughts on the chart?

Well the chart is only one consideration of course..

Going to buy a lot of LB/JPY here 136.66..setting target for 137..i might even just scalp 15 pups or something here since Cad wont give in.
I wil get out out of $/Cad if it keeps pushing higher 1.3331 now.I will be up and watching late tonight

Out of LB/JPY +$300

I watched LB/JPY fight with 137 and a min after i get out it rips thru..SMH

Out of $/Cad we will call it +$550.i still like this to fall but we got rate decision tomorrow and theres no way ill be up early enough for that,i believe its at 10am??
I jumped out of pound a bit early..now up over 137.10

Buck,

Wall i took some time to open some practice accounts today just to look at the platform setups and their mobile apps.
I didnt know US customers couldnt use FXCM anymore..when you mentioned they were in trouble i assumed you were talking about their debt problems theyve been dealing with for yrs.I will say this confirms a suspicion that i believe we have discussed before..trading desks openining opposing trades.
Damn shame too cause FXCM has the best platform and mobile IMO..their HUD on mobile is very nice and i could prob get by trading just using the app if needed.
Forex.com/gain capital app not good..platform for laptop isnt as good as the version i used a few yrs ago..they use to have really nice charts.
I will be going to Oanda..nice platform and their mobile trading app isnt great but i liked it better than forex.com app, dont think ill be doing much trading from my phone but i dont like taking like laptop on site anymore after i ruined one bringing it to work.
Not sure if ill jump in another trade this week or not,dont see much atm that i like but there always seems to be something at 3am,so we will see.

Buck,

Well after looking over charts on a nice screen Im gonna sell a lot of LB/$ here at 1.2551...not expecting a huge move down but i think i can scalp 20 and prob more.

No of course not but sheesh I am not at all happy settling with something that will make it even more difficult to be successful.
