    When I find a chance to trade but I am not sure,what should I do?

    Try not to look for too much confirmation that a level is a level or a trend is a trend, as usually that means you have missed the boat or will break when it reaches there.

    Best Thread Bund Bobl and Schatz Thread

    Iam not a 1 tick merchant anymore, I tend to go with the trend much more and try for 3-4 ticks rather than trade the price action for a tick....too many incorrect signals, equally I will stop myself out at 3-4 ticks, probably overall trading less frequently and more technically

    Trading Arcades have had their day

    Yes, I was offered a free platform also but just stuck with what I know, I know there are some really big traders that dont mind paying 2-3 k per month because they are making 50 k a month.
