Praise the lord for stops! :)

To purely trade technical and ignore news is very foolish. While trading purely news and no technical is equally foolish. I primarily trade technical, however I do pay attention news updates. Sure, my charts might be showing me a perfect entry into a trade to go long and low and behold here...

Yep, it sure is perty!

The best thing about building your own pc from scratch is that you won't be bound to proprietary parts or integrated components such that Dell, HP, Gateway and others have a tendency to do. I have also found that when I have built my own pc the life of it typically outlasts anything store...

Honestly, I couldn't tell you as I have never spreadbet. As far as putting in stops and t/p and trailing stops and placing orders. Its basically very simple. I.e. Your watching your currency pair and if you see what you think is a good entry point. Simply click new order, choose sell or...

I think my IQ just dropped by half by reading this thread and DANG IT! I didn't have that much to begin with!!

Depends on the broker, some brokers go off of New York time (GMT -4) and others go off of GMT. However, I think for the most part they go by GMT.

Most of the brokers provide a trading platform right out of the gate. Not sure what type of trader you are but I will name a few for you real quick that I have been interested in and they have pretty good reviews. ECN Broker - MB Trading, PFG Best, FXCM STP Broker - FXCM, IBFX DD - Oanda All...

Something else you might consider is getting with an ECN broker where spreads are almost non-existent but you pay a commission. Mb trading and finfx are a couple I can think of right of the bat. Not sure if that might suit your purpose, but worth trying out on a demo account.

heh, i know that problem. You're lot size is to large and therefore your stops are getting hunted out. Reduce your lots size so you can increase the stop size. Keep your stops out of reach of hunters. Stay off the pivot and fib markers as well as major institutional prices. Just my two cents...

http://Babypips.com is a free website similar to this one. They have forums just the same, some blogs, lot of chart art. You'll just have to check it out and see for yourself. The members over there are similar to here. Very anti pay for training mentality if you get my drift. Anyway, good...

FYI - If you were going to trade Forex, I might suggest using Babypips school. They have a very nice training program that is completely free. However, that site is completely dedicated to fx.

You mean "True" :twisted:

Arabian, I clicked back through a few of your other posts. Now this is just an observation, but you seem a little frustrated, hostile and just mean. Whats up with all the nastiness?

I don't think they do either. Lot of times when you back test based off OHLC for several bars, you may be able to track down some significant patterns. For is example, on Thursdays at the open of the Australian Forex market. When the close is greater than the open, you will find that the...
