    S/R and the Mirror of Erised

    Hi, thanks for this great thread. I have been trading price on and off for some time now with a decent amount of success in forex 5min. I don't have the link but in one post someone mentioned just "watching price" for the day. I find this invaluable as you can start to understand what is...

    CFD trading in Australia

    Well I was starting to calm down after my discovery that CMC are no longer interested in tight stops/reverses when I saw this on the Russell2000 in no market hours. I sent a message to them asking if a long would have been stopped out and they didn't reply. This bothers me because I was long...

    CFD trading in Australia

    Mini Russell 2000

    hi, I'm interested in this index. I trade it long term but I have recently been developing a intraday strategy. I hope to go live once I have the time. Does anyone else trade this or have advice? It might be better off in the US index thread.

    realtime charting

    Hi, I have a d4f/cmc account and another account with someone else. Sometimes I don't trade with cmc for a month or so but I run the platform and use charts. It costs me nothing, you just need the balance in the account and they have never said anything to me.

    lowest available forex spreads

    Yeah, I trade FX with CMC and cannot remember ever having a problem with FX fills. I have since tried their new CFD products and had no end of trouble getting fills during news time but at other times it's fine.
