    online/offshore broker help needed - plus ETF advice

    No surprise to anyone these days that analysts in banking houses can get their sums wrong, we have abundant evidence of it. It doesn't take a financial genius to understand that oil is linked to world production and is going to bump along the bottom until the economies want to use it again...

    Basic Question

    Thanks very much, westernforce, that's very helpful. Since the markets run Monday-Friday and my computer is a perfectly normal business level one with an LCD screen, I am reckoning the cost at about £2 p.w. for round figures. If the EA can't cover that, plus the odd crust for me, it's not...

    Basic Question

    I am currently trialling an EA to run my trading method automatically and I wonder if any bright spark amongst the members can tell me what sort of electricity bill I would have if I kept the computer on 24 hours a day? If some kind person would convert the amps, watts and volts into pounds and...

    online/offshore broker help needed - plus ETF advice

    Wouldn't you be better off trading crude futures, either US or Brent, on an MT4 broker who offers these instruments, like FXPro? Or on IGIndex, or ODLmarkets, you can spreadbet, which is more or less what you mention, gaining on the price movement (or losing!) On FXPro the spread is...

    If I may elbow my way back onto this thread, I think that your post said just about all that there was to say on that subject and since the TUFXP-ers seemed to have gone a bit quiet, a long silence ensued until member Kenb ventured his inquiry and brought you out of retirement. Of course, I had...

    It's best if you read the thoughts of someone who actually commits to and uses the TUFXP; Yacarob1, despite a wide knowledge of trading and trading systems, does not, preferring his own system. However, you can rely on him for some delightfully funny comments, he managed to stop this thread in...

    We need to know more about this transaction. What happens if Pipgrabber wants a refund and Yac1 has eaten the fee?

    Come on, Yac, don't tell us you believe every word of the promos you read! You are a well clued-up forex person, don't tell us you went into TUFXP with wide-eyed innocence, believing every word of the blurb? Advertising is about exaggeration isnt it? You are no innocent, you know the score...

    Well, Trade2Go, that was a very good and reasoned post, a refreshing change from the wildly anti from a few people who haven't even tried it and several others who bought it for the trial merely to find out how it worked, then sent it back for the refund. There are also many good people on this...

    What are the best sites offering demo accounts to practice on?

    I'd back up this comment on IBFX. They give you $50K to play with so you're not going to lose all that - and if you do, just open another account - they don't hassle you for deposits and the demo goes on forever, as far as I can see. Whether it bears an exact relationship to their Live account...

    Why don't you do a search on this forum for Graham Laurie or Cash-Master and read his post properly? You will see that he started this in paper-trading mode, describing his trial period, he did not claim to make £16000 in real-time. As it happens, he kept the program and has since gone on to...

    Lobengula If you consider that you are willing to risk 5% of your bank, as Keith Cotterill suggests as maximum, a £10 stake at the average stop loss advised would need a starting bank of £6000. I don't know if you would have this amount on top of the £2000-odd for the system but I would very...

    You are fortunate to have a 'place near Siena' indeed; I wish I did! I spent a lot of time in Italy, north of Milan mostly, when I was young enough to race motorbikes for a living and I wish I'd had the sense to tuck some sort of place away for the future back then. However, we should keep on...

    Yes, we got that message Yac! Coming back to something you said, how are you doing in the share market? I suppose you are going short on practically everything now, bulls are an endangered species these days. I see you put your location as Toscana: where, in Toscana? Might we see you in the...
