    Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

    Hi, I modified one of your correlation Indicators (hope you dont mind). Thought it would be easier to see if the currencies are diverging or converging using a histogram rather than guess at the distance between the lines. It only displays for the current chart pair so you just drop it onto the...

    Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

    Been lurking for a while. Since you are scalping you can obviously only follow a pretty limited number of pairs. How do you decide what you are going to be focusing on that session? Are you looking at the correlator on a higher time frame (like your 3 ducks corry)?

    100% bonus from FXVAN. Advice needed.

    You need to check the T&C. Usually you wont be allowed to withdraw funds if the balance goes below the value they added. This restriction normally only applies for a number of months but all these offers are different.

    SpreadBet MT4 Recommendations

    They do seem to try and push the MT5 option. It certainly has better spreads.

    SpreadBet MT4 Recommendations

    This seems to be the problem with MT4 brokers. Its not unusual to be paying 4-6 points with GKFX on EURUSD. Its just too expensive. Thats why i was looking for an alternative.

    MT4 Build 600 Renko Backtesting

    Renko is not an indicator. Its a different way of charting. Rather than look at price movement over fixed periods of time it looks at price movement by a fixed number of points without any reference to time. Since renko is not supported in mt4 we need EAs or scripts to create offline renko...

    MT4 Build 600 Renko Backtesting

    Managed to sort it. I found a very old 400 build on an old laptop. I found a zip with the core 509 files on the net so using my build 400 and the core 509 files i have managed to create a working build 509 folder. Turned UAC back on to prevent automatic updating. Backtesting looks to be working now.

    MT4 Build 600 Renko Backtesting

    I have done loads with renko and know exactly the issues backtesting it in mt4. I have a commercial EA for creating renko for backtest which minimizes 'some' of those issues. It sort of pads out the volume and works well. Well as in at least the opens and closes are in the correct place at...

    MT4 Build 600 Renko Backtesting

    Before build 600 it was reasonably simple to backtest renko (offline) charts in MT4. Basically it involved creating a new (dummy) server that was just a folder with the relevant files and creating a history for a normal timeframe but containing the renko data. Since build 600 though this doesnt...

    One form of photo id and proof of address so both of those would do the trick.

    Spread Betting Tax Free Profits or Not

    I did read your post and i do get the point. Fxmo is clearly not being 100% open about everything and makes some quite contradictory statements. That being said though, its very hard not to be cynical in this business (or hobby, whatever you like to call it) as few people seem to be very...

    Spread Betting Tax Free Profits or Not

    Assuming Fxmo is telling the truth regarding forex, CFD and spreadbetting then i guess HMRC would have felt pretty confident in claiming tax. I think (and i am not a legal expert at all) that logically if he claims that his CFD/Forex trading is his business then HMRC would be fair in saying the...

    Spread Betting Tax Free Profits or Not

    I was going to mention this. Only reason i didnt was i couldnt find the link to prove it although i am 100% sure it was a link i followed from a related discussion on this website. Wasnt the HMRC argument that he had a system that gave him a mathematical expectancy of profit, therefore he wasnt...

    SpreadBet MT4 Recommendations

    Unfortunately i would still need MT4 for my charting. What i use isnt possible in MT5 although i am sure they will sort it at some point since its one of the general criticisms of the platform upgrade.
