    CMC New Charting Package

    Hi Pete, Nice to see you on the forum - hope you find it helpful. I'm going to contact CMC today as well and close my account with them - the new charts are an absoloute farce (as I mentioned on the Plus+ forum as well). I've been with them for nearly four years now and had no complaints up...

    Fx 2008

    ISM didn't do much either. I was really hoping that the amount of news yesterday and today would shake things up a bit in the market but nothings happened. I've only had two trades all week - both on GBP/USD (both came in winners - which was nice :clap:) Apart from that it's been a really slow...
