Hi there, As you may have noticed from a previous thread, I have decided to give up on CityIndex due to the new margin stopout tricks they are playing. If you haven't read the thread: Basically they stopped me out of a trade that I was betting on. Their stop out or cancel taking only 10% out of...

Agreed, I regularly send my wife/wife's family over £1000 in one hit, no problems. Many people send money back to their families and spouses in thailand for amounts more than $600 so you shuldn't have a problem. Why don't you keep your money in your regular account in your own country and just...

Ok, haven't posted here for a while, but I have been reading the forums. Have been doing great business over at IG Index so far and although there have been a few disagreements they have been sorted out. I checked up on an old account I had with City Index and re-activated it with the hope of...

hmmm...when i first joined the site last year I had similar feedback... what i thought was a pessimistic attitude to my trading theories.... wish I had of listened a little more, might have saved me a few grand :)

I am not sure how they are related, but there are many things between the two. I use online Poker as a great way to stop myself from overtrading on my trades though. I am constantly learning both though, if you can be adaptable I think it helps in both, and also sticking to a system.

Already done thanks anyway! OK guys... thanks for not getting at me before..... I DMOR.... there is somewhere on here with a link to the info I was after. It's not perfect as it only seems to download in a .txt file which doesn't seem to like changing to excel, but I got the figures anyway...

Advfn ok, so update is I found that ADVFN did candlestick charts for forex that I can just hold my cursor over the candle and get the high low open close etc., The thing is that now it is not working. It only shows close only prices. Is this normal, or just because it's a Saturday and it only...

Hi, I am trying to find either EOD prices (High, Low, Open Close) or also some 15 minute intraday prices on currencies? Does anyone know of a site that does the historical price of forex in these intervals and not just plot them straight onto a chart? Ideally it would be available to download...

Thankyou for the link...was really great to watch, didn't realise how long it would be though, had to go to work so turned it off just as it got to the Q + A bit. Maybe I'll visit the site again when I have some more time... was very good though.:clap:

My own reasons for spreadbetting are mainly I can start with a very low account size. My normal job means that as far as spare cash goes it would take me my whole lifetime to save up 150k cash (if I'm lucky) let alone lose it. I don't actually know very much about other methods of trading, but...

In terms of more positive pts... I believe so. My diary also has a lot more black ink in it now than the red ink that would tend to get used on the closing trades of my less thought out trades (also some of my very thought out trades, but that might just be because my style of trading is...

I am really new, but have been live trading almost daily since December. I have been concentrating on fx mainly since Feb. and realised quite early on about the rollovers. The strategies I use for trading now, unless I am selling an equity or I'm on the correct side of the currency to get...

I had loads of problems with CS, but they have also corrected a few problems for me also. I was under the opinion that all SB companies were like this, I sometimes use worldspreads, but only because I spent so long using their demo account I got used to the platform. Does IG have a good...

Just to confirm though I do still write the diary, I just spend more time reviewing the trades I make now. It was the impulse trades that I have stopped writing down until I have reviewed them more thoroughly.:)

Yes, thankfully most of them were unsuitable for the style of trading I was doing at the time. There was a few out of 15 that I didn't take that would have got me a profit, also the other thing was that on most of the trades near the beginning that I took anyway I made losses. Most of this...
