Thanks mate - I checked with IG and they had a bar down. No gap. But my argument was that this is not a volatile move! I work for an exchange - so I know what is possible with today's technology and these SB companies are plain ripping people off with their proprietary systems. If we had HFT...

My letter to ETX this morning: Dear Sir/Ma’am, I noticed my account depleting of late after years of having very few issues with ETX; I keep an excel log of all trades and noticed as I was not 'losing' enough I guess in your eyes. I started to get slippage on many trades. Last night I left...

I noticed my account depleting of late after years of having very few issues with ETX; I keep an excel log of all trades and noticed as I was not 'losing' enough I started to get slippage on many trades. Last night I left an OTO to short at 1298 and was filled at 1293 but the orignial stop loss...

Thanks Guys, will do!

I was busted as I fouled up an order - I traded cable short and made a little only to realise after the event, that like CMC, the stop order stays in the market! So I left the account for a couple of days expecting to put on a trade and when I logged in tha balance was at £5.57 - I called to...

Does anyone know of good settings for the market scanner for use with Technical Analysis? I'm a tech analysis guy but I have limited time in the evenings - I look for PASR set-ups and I want to change the shares I look at each evenings. Currently I scan thru the entire FTSE 350 at EOD but I'd...

AUDUSD - So, is the weekly pin off the 61% retrace and .7880 SR zone and 50sma from the monthly a sucker pin? It could offer excellent RR ratio as PA has retraced into last weeks pin and is 80 pips short of the pin high. All depends on your dollar view which is still short - so do the indices...

LOL @ TD - funny - even zero-alpha laughed when I read it out Tom!! And she don't laugh that often as she has to live with me!

Aaron - I'm disappointed in you - you have asked this question before. If you are serious about your trading you really must take a keen interest in keeping abreast of anything that could alter your positions and the time of the releases. Most people check this at the start of the trading day as...

Well, I had conflicting results across some of the sites, but settled for a mean of ESTP, so there are not may of 'me' What that means for trading is beyond me? Has anyone done any studies into which types make the best traders? Mine looks like I'm heading for the workhouse - Excitement seeking...

Aaron, IG sent an email out about this a few months back. I think you still get the charting for free as long as you make 2 trades a month. I hear a lot of people were just opening accounts and using the free charting and not making trades. Sound busniess sense if you ask me? The intraday...

Hi, Had a quick look thru the site and I couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know if I can import data into MT4 from sharecope? I want to use MT4 as my charting package as I don't like sharecopes charts. I only use daily charts so EoD data import is fine. It seems easy enough to export from...

BBMAC I'm surprised! I had you down as a good old Price Action(PA) only man; not using them awful historical painting indicators - all you need to know is there in the PA!!:confused:

As long as the 'favourable' market conditions exist then usdcad is a sell down to 1.00. Money being made in overnight (EONIA) markets currently hence lack of movemnt in indcies.

I know an institution or two that were pencilling in 1.65 for Cable; but not until 2010 Q4!! So, i'll be looking for some solid PASR at that level to maybe get short - but I'll let PASR lead the way as coming to a chart and level with a preconceived idea can often be fatal to the account balance!!
