    Best News Source for breaking news

    Hi - last week Gbp/Usd moved strongly on positive news from a Poll on the Remain side of the EU Referendum. These strong moves happen on a regular basis on currencies in general and also Oil. I'm happy with news sources for scheduled news eg. Forex Factory. However, I struggle to find the...

    Best Laptop Screeen Resoultion

    Zambuck – will check out Sony in Totenham Ct. rd. soon………… Re Dells – I guess it’s a bit hit and miss. I think you can get a high Spec from them ( eg. Dell Vostro 17” WUXGA with the other bits I need for about £950) but I guess you get what you pay for.…… Mayfly – thanks for the sites - have...

    Best Laptop Screeen Resoultion

    Thanks for your help - I'll aim for 1920 x 1200 resolution. I also want at least 2.0 Ghz, 256 dedicated Graphics and 'N' wireless and maybe 3Mb Ram and 7200 rpm hard drive..... Googling the sony Vaio X Black throws up a multitude of sites - found one but it was 1440 X 900. I may visit the...

    Best Laptop Screeen Resoultion

    Hi - I'm looking to replace my 15.4" Laptop with a 17" because my current Laptop has a pretty poor display - matt finish, resolution 1280 X 800 and runs slowly. I think I can 'handle' the issues re broadband speed, Proccessor, dedicated graphics etc. My problem is in deciding the best...

    Ed Ponsi - FX seminar

    I saw a Finspreads presentation on friday night (5th Oct). Ed Ponsi was on for 30 - 45 minutes. Obviously the idea was to encourage you to attend his course this weekend. I already knew I couldn't attend the course Sat / Sun but was just interested. All I can say is I liked his presentation...

    Oanda is down

    Hi majed - I only have a Demo account with them. I like the platform though they don't guarantee fills and stops. I don't know if there data is 'smoothed' for Demo. What I mean by that is some brokers / SBs like CMC have fewer price moves in the Demo so it looks easier than the real thing. Might...

    EUR/USD most active hours?

    London Session ends 14:30 ? No offense, just trying to clarify. There's 5 hours difference between New York and London so if London Session ends 09:30 AM EST that would be 14:30 BST (British Summer time). I thought London closed 16:30 BST and therefore 11:30 EST ?.

    Which timeframe trend is relevant to the one you’re trading ?.

    I’d appreciate some guidance on this because I’m going round in circles so I’d like to know what you guys do.. I’ll draw in the horizontal SAR and trend lines from all the timeframes so I’ve covered any SAR that might have an effect. I’m trading Forex on a 5 Min chart and look at 30M or 1 hour...

    How Is The MACD Zero (Neutral) Line Derived?

    I use MACD in combination with chart patterns and other signals. The best use of MACD for me is divergence (providing there's no consolidation between peaks). Then I like rising above zero or falling below zero. However, I'm more careful with a cross above or below the zero line. I think the...

    Best Charting Package

    I prefer Oanda charts to FXCM (more user friendly and more facilities) but you may find prices vary a bit second by second so that could rule it out. The Demo is free and unlimited so consider it as a free feed ?. Try www.oanda.com good luck
