If you're this cynical you must be a goldbug. I suggest you sell all your shares,bonds, stop speculating on Forex, and move all your money into GOLD.

? do you know how big the market is? To move the EUR/USD price even by a fraction of a percent would take billions. No SB companies have the resources to risk this much money just to move the market to their favor. They could manipulate the price seen on the screen by a few pips, but even if...

Sure they can influence the price of assets or currencies through monetary policy. Changing interest rates can kickstart a long term trend. But anyone would know that. What you were implying though is some sort of covert conspiracy where they control the price of anything at any one particular...

This time to the Moon! Found this Trade2Win Email in my inbox. I forgot about this thread! Did I really write all that! lol. Unbelievable. After a 10 month Hiatus, back in again. Currently up 33% in 5 weeks. Not Bad. Keep this up, I'll be rich soon! lol. That is my Goal. I'll be having the...

A spate of economic reports out today, including the ISM Manufacturing at 15:00 BST, if good, I see a potential trade set up for a rally, reaching a high of about 4670 for the day on a strong report, or about 4650 on a mediocre one, if it breaks above Friday's high, I'd be looking to get in...

Hi all, Yes I see what you mean now, about trade size and the resulting psychological and emotional impact that arises from it. My account size is still small (3 figures) and so my stake sizes are small, but as I compound my account size I incrementally increase the stake size too, usually...

Hi Forexmospherian, I only day trade, so I open and close my trades the same day, so my trades on average are open for anything between 30minutes-3 hours (average), sometimes less, sometimes more. Yes it's live with real money. Sorry I don't know what you mean by "financial wall" please...

Week 1: 8.2% Week 2: 6.8% Week 3: 30.5% Week 4: -0.6% Week 5: 32% Week 6: 29.9% Week 7: 11.9% Week 8: 0% Week 9: 0% Week 10: 16.3% Week 11: 0.5% Week 12: 17.5% Week 13: 0%

Hi Tar, Impossible? I don't think so, yes I had a few losing trades, but my winners outsized my losses. Week 1: 8.2% Week 2: 6.8% Week 3: 30.5% Week 4: -0.6% Week 5: 32% Week 6: 29.9% Week 7: 11.9% Week 8: 0% Week 9: 0% Week 10: 16.3% Week 11: 0.5% Week 12: 17.5% Week 13: 0% The maximum...

Hi GStar, You're quoting your account size in $USDollars which seems strange, because Spreadbetting's illegal in the US, so there aren't any US account providers, so which British providers will hold your account denominated in USDollars? This adds an additional layer of fishiness to your...

What are you talking about pigbear, you're quoting me today's price, this thread is about yesterday's price. spread is 3 points when markets shut, and 1 point when open. At the time in question the market was open. Ok, the stop loss may have been tight, at the price i set it, but I still locked...

Actually, I set an order to buy at 4660, I don't buy at market price, I set orders, so regardless of which broker it is, then I would've bought at 4660. I got in at 4660, with an initial target of 4690, when the price was hovering around 4685-4686, I moved my stop loss to 4680, and got stopped...

"Then again, with a possibly different entry price you might have placed the stop higher if trading Caps" I would've set the stop loss at exactly 4680, whichever broker I was with. I got in at 4660, set the limit at 4690, moved the stop to 4680 when the price was around 4686ish. Seems I...

That Capital Spreads quote seems more accurate, and maybe truer. True if spread was 1 point, I would've not got stopped out. Seems strange that at Barjon's broker went as low as 79.1, there is obviously some price discrepancy going on between different brokers. What do you mean tomorton by...

ok, thanks. I see anyway that both yours went lower than at mine, so that's all I wanted to confirm really, that the price did actually go lower than 4680. thanks.
