    It's All About The Pips...

    Congratulations Dan, that's fantastic news! But don't rush back to the fx500club, take your time- I know how tough those first few days are (well months really!)- it's important to look after mum and baby, and James and Zak are doing a great job in your absence. All the best, Carl

    It's All About The Pips...

    Morning all, Went short on GOLD at 879.1, as CCI 252 and 63 crossed into the negative, and price went below 50 and 240 MA on the 5 min chart. Closed at 877.2, being spooked by the fact that crude looked to be slowly rising. +19 points. Was this a bad play Dan? Carl

    Edward Tate

    Thanks for the warning, and sorry for those that have been duped. I got a call from Paul at Kensington Price about NMM yesterday, who was very convincing, but I said I wasn't interested. He called back today despite being given the brush off and almost convinced me into parting with $5.5k, but...

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I dug a little deeper, and foung that the president...

    How much did you lose to begin with?

    I, too have read Farrell's book, and it may have worked a few years ago, but a concept like that only works if it is original. What I mean is that it's a bestselling book, so if you step in front of the specialist to soak up the market orders, expect half of the planet also to have the same...

    PDT rules question

    I'm thinking of opening an IB account to trade US stocks. I've been wondering which currency would be better in the long term. If I set up an account in pounds, are their exchange rates favourable for individual trades, or would it be better to set up an account in dollars (as it's weak at the...
