Standard Trading Platform

Recommended Posts

Trading with large FX company using their standard Trading platform using Mini Account.... Been trading using their charts... noticed a lot of small loosers... so tested doing the following: Using Eur-USD chart, entered trade using ten (10) pip stop loss and ten pip limit order... trade went in my favor lost $1.29 ...... Next entered trade using 15 pip stop and limit order, lost $1.93 ... Next entered trade using 20 pip stop and limit order... lost $2.33 ???? All times trades went in my favor either long or short... how can you trade using their charts setting 20 pip limit order and loose money..

Impossible to scalp doing this... or even trade and not to be knowing how your money is everopating within their system...... also have entered trades using their charts putting in stop and limit orders ... taken picture so know their set..... half hour later check and the trade is still on but the stop and limits you set are not there......?????? Anyone understand this or had the same problem....

As caboratoryfx asks, maybe a clearer explanation is need ! Also get your Broker on the phone and ask what the deal is. Don't be afraid to ask questions when it' about your money.

If you lost money then the market did not go your way, at least the market they are making. I have experienced all sorts of problems with online forex brokers and I gave up on them because of frequent lockouts, spikes and other weird events. Did you ask their support? What did they tell you? My best explanation is that your they have very wide spreads and when your limit order was hit it was filled a little below your entry price.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
