Agreed. I still thank RH for getting me into this, but this new one is probably just a launching platform for new traders like Net Trap was. I've requested a review over at systems for traders and no doubt the Agora cronies at MMR will be 'reviewing' it shortly. Since we're in Other Systems...

I'm lost I guess. I still have smart live markets MT4 which shows EURUSDSB and not EURUSD, so I would double check it's not a normal forex account, especially given your profit versus pips gained. Do you know hour to calculate a normal forex lot? Check out the school on Babypips, it's very good...

Which currency? Also double check that you have spread betting and not CFD.

When you place a trade in MT4, the box says 'bet per 0.0001' for example. So if you enter a buy 0.10 (i.e. 10p) and the price moves from 1.5675 to 1.5676 then you have gained 0.10. Does that help? Z

I saw this too and must admit I was vaguely tempted if only for the rapid prototyping of code. But the price is too high I think.

Great to see another broker offering MT4 spreadbetting too. Anyone spotted any nice signup offers on this?

Thursday and Friday (26th/27th) I got no trade on both days, for 615 and 630. ADR filter both times.

Looks like the SLM issues with 6.15 entries are being heard, not just here: http://www.systemsfortraders.com/forex-morning-trade-trading-room/50507-forex-morning-trade-trading-room-post59126.html#post59126 Again, Paul says it's not SLM's fault but it's interesting to hear (again) that they are...

Or is it whether you are profitable enough, given that this is the 'Trading for a Living' section? :whistling

Interesting comment about Momentum - thanks. I have to say that it seems that Donnaforex is a good resource for EA info at the moment; I don't tend to use it a lot but will do.

Just a quick one on 'how brokers make their money' - the publishers of the Kangaroo EA have a blog with a cracking article on how MT4 can be used by brokers and SB firms alike. Gets a bit technical in parts but I thought it was the best write up I've seen in ages...

Agreed 3PO. jimmc - ADR has done this once or twice - I was thinking about running TMT on 2 charts (separate magic numbers) one with ADR true and one ADR false, split risk so that effectively when the ADR check fails I still trade but at 50% risk. Just a thought.

Since it's money that you should be prepared to lose, go for it ;).

Magicpip - any reason why you didn't trade today? In any case, ADR kept me out at 6.15 and 6.30 both. Z

cheers Rugby Trader, I will definitely be having a look at that one.
