Hi all, I just signed up with Etoro for a practice account, I was massively interested in the copy trader platform.... Has anyone had any experiences with them? Check them out here: EToro

I'll let you know ;-)

Also, it seems to be quite a small stop on a large (daily) timeframe....

Ha ha! Isn't that why having a predetermined entry and stop (as in the FXSense strategy) is a good idea?

Thanks guys, I guess what you are saying Splitlink, "the lower the average, the more volatile and difficult it will be to assess" is pretty much the same as the argument on the site that the shorter the timeframe the more volatile the price will be? Daily seems to work well. Anyway, I'm going...

You might find this interesting - I'm testing it out on a daily basis, I'm not sure if it can be applied intraday, but I don't see why you couldn't? There's a link to an explanation of their strategy too. FXSense - The Analyst Blog

Hmmm, ok, thank you. I might follow it. Do you mean the average of the BB? From what I can see on the picture, it is 20,2. This also comes up as a default setting on other chart packages I've seen. Maybe this is the optimal setting?

Hi Jason, Thanks for the reply. I have read the agreement and I understand that it's called a 'spread betting' account rather than a spot account and that I'll get a different account number, but that seems quite superficial. The crux of my question was exactly how it differs in terms of the...

Jason, I have a standard account with you, and am thinking about transferring it to spread betting to save on tax. But, I'd like to repeat an earlier question that went unanswered. If spread betting is exactly the same as the standard accounts, differing only in its tax implications, could you...

Shaolin?

Zuidie - what are you basing your return on? A financial target is antithetical to success in so many ways. I don't know your strategy, but based on whatever criteria you select you should be able to target the number of pips captured, as that is only way you can judge success. The amount of...

Actually - look at the CS Hybrid Trade Screen. It was originally developed for currency traders, but works on the basis of a fuzzy logic system which is quite complex, but is used to analyse all sorts of statistics (financial and non-financial). The upshot of it is - it's rather good, and...
