Day trade #2 & #3: AUD/JPY & GBP/USD

GBP/USD - Short @ 1.9431, Closed @ 1.9420 (11 pips in 17 minutes)
AUD/JPY - Long @ 96.27, Closed @ 96.31 (4 pips in 26 minutes)

Day trade #1: GBP/JPY - 13 pips in 15 minutes

This is another rare bet on a currency pair that I seldom (or never) trade.


GBP/JPY - Long @ 208.84, Closed @ 208.97 (13 pips in 15 minutes)

p/s: I'm expecting more small wins today since I'll be at home for the whole day!

Another IB complaint!!!

My friend called me and complained about Interactive Brokers trading Forex!!!

Her stop loss 50 pips was not executed and the loss now is already 130 pips.

Please take note, forex traders!!!

What you see on IB is not what you get!!

Options traders, who also trade forex on Interactive Brokers, take note:
- What you see is not what you get.
- What you see is not even close to what you get.

I just closed a USD/CHF Long position at market price 1.1026 when the display bid price is 1.1050. I entered at 1.1012 yesterday. My 38 pips became 14 pips only.

And also, I just entered Short into USD/JPY few minutes ago, and the bid price is 108.42. I set limit to 108.44 (knowing the discrepancies) and it got executed only at 108.49. 5 pips loss before anything start!

More than 180 pips in GBP/USD

My GBP/USD position is still open since yesterday morning 10am. Current unrealised profit is more than 180 pips (already 3x my personal pip record for my forex trades!!!). Think I will be holding for another half to one day...

16 pips within 16 minutes!!

EUR/USD
Enter at 2.41pm: Long @ 1.4584
Exit at 2.56pm: 1.4602

16 Winning Pips within 16 minutes!!



p/s: Anyway, I'm still holding another GBP/USD position from 10am till now.
