I noticed that EUR/USD and USD/JPY have more of a positive correlation than a negative one. It seems odd. If USD goes up, then EUR/USD should go down and USD/JPY should go up. And vice versa. But I see a lot of time, when EUR/USD goes up, so does USD/JPY,. The same happens when EUR/USD goes...

This really looks like a neural network with "too many" hidden nodes. It simply "memorizes" the input. If that's the case, do some reading on overtraining. In short (and I hope I'm wrong), it's completely useless. If it's a different algo, then please disregard.

Could you please explain why? Open/Close is nothing more than just ticks that happened to occur when the clock hit 0 seconds. Nothing special about them. Am I missing something?

Yep. That's it. Logically, I guess the problem as I see it now lies in the fact that you can't do effective risk-management with scalping/day trading. But at the same time, you can't turn in great profit (using small capital) on longer time frames. I guess the realization of this is the most...

Opened a micro account with $200 last Tuesday. By Friday morning had $950 in that account. This is really easy. I'll be a millionaire in a couple of months! Decided to take a nap and then do a couple more trades on Friday evening at the end of the trading day. Set an alarm clock to wake up two...

I'm in the states, and here there aren't any laws that state you must offer the same price to all customers. Aside from the discrimination laws, there is nothing preventing a company from asking me and you different prices for the same exact item at the same time. As long as it's not based on...

I'm not talking about opening two accounts. What if there are two separate accounts owned by two different people that place orders of opposite direction at the same time, will their prices vary (aside from the spread)... That was the question. I'm just doing scalping. Started scalping two...

OK, thanks. I just don't know the industry at all, that's why I was asking. It makes sense for them not to care about small amounts.

I guess it's technically possible for a broker to change the price they are offering you based on your trades, but do they actually do it? For example, let's say I have two accounts with a broker and open positions for the same pair in those accounts but in opposite directions. I buy in one...

I would love to. But who knows when is the best time to close :) One one hand, you can keep a trade open and get more profit. On the other hard, it might reverse and you would end up losing.

I tried trading demo accounts a couple of times. But it got boring after a few hours so I always stopped. Today, I decided to try it as if I used real money. (I know about demo being different than real accounts. I mean it as in the time and effort I'm willing to put in.) So far, I can say...
