    Looking for a scalping strategy...

    I often watch and find opportunities in 1 minute charts. I know most people say it's just noise and it's best to trade from longer terms, and I want to do that, I really do, but I keep finding myself working with the 1 minute charts. I kinda have a feel for what's happening and I feel most...

    Aspirant Trader

    You may need to for that kind of work, I guess, I don't really know though. When I said full time trading I was thinking with a live trading account from your PC, with a broker like FXCM or one of the other reputable brokers out there.

    Aspirant Trader

    If you can consistently make money trading then maybe you could just do full time trading. Depends what you're going to study and what kind of job you want to do I guess though. I can't really advise, and wouldn't want you to make any life changing decision based on what I say, it's totally up...

    IG Index Not Available?

    Not sure. I was just watching my trades and then went to close one of them and got that message. I refreshed the page and was then logged out, tried logging back in and was unable to, just a page with that message on it.

    Trade Trends or trade Ranges?

    Before you get into a trade, have a predefined idea of where you want to take profit and where you want to take a loss. Try to get the risk:reward above 1:1, 1:2 and beyond is good.

When I open a ticket on the Forex currency pairs I have an option to choose from a bunch of different currencies, does it matter which currency I choose or is it better to use a certain currency when trading the different pairs? I'll attach an...
