Bracket Order - Newbie

Recommended Posts

Im currently trialling OEC's demo.

Can someone please explain how I create a bracket order to place a forex trade.

 

For example,

aud.usd buy/stop 81.50

aud.usd sell/stop 81.00

 

In other words, I want to open a trade when aud.usd hits 81.50 and when it does this it put in a working order to sell at 81.00 which is my stoploss.

 

Thanks,

sleepy :)

If I am correct, there is no DOM for forex at OEC so to enter a bracket order you have to use the OSO entry screen. I think I have only done it once in the past so I am not a great person to walk you through it.

 

BF let me know if I am wrong on this.

Nope. OEC FX is a white label partnership with Gain Capital. Since this is a market maker there is no market depth available and therefore no trading through DOM as well. They offer a different order tool for FX but I don't know wether bracket orders are possible.

I won't recommend them for FX anyway. There are better FX brokers on this planet.

Good info I didn’t know; Are there any good DMA FX brokers you would recommend?

According to one of OEC guys ..

 

Forex pairs dont have a DOM

but you can do a bracket order through charts (via extended options).

 

Can anyone explain how this is doen. I still couldnt work it out.

 

And the reason I was plannin on using OEC for froex as I wanted to use a broker that I could trade both forex and eminis.

 

Thanks,

sleepy :)

IMO, the convenience of one broker for both isn't worth it in this case. I just closed my forex account at OEC because the spreads were ridiculous. Follow the link Here to a thread which discusses spot forex trading extensively. Look at Thalestraders' posts. There are several times throughout the thread that brokers are discussed.

 

That is the advice I would want if I was getting into spot forex without having read that thread.

 

Note: I just linked the thread to a recent post about brokers. Threre are many, many more good posts in that thread in the past.

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
