Did you see this on Alpari? Over the last couple of years, I have seen a few people rave about and recommend Alpari to others. Maybe this is something of which you should be aware. I just tripped over this on another site. My humble opinion is that we as retail forex traders have little...

MTPIPS - You could not be more correct! Remember why you made the purchase of Morning Trade? It was possibly for the same reason as I - absolute statements made about absolute performance. And the outcome? Simply another EA with mixed results. Again - the Seller delivered loads of sales...

Hard Stop Placement – The Great Contradiction? Will a seasoned trader please…please advise here? After 3 years of research and full time trading, I remain troubled (by apparently what continues to trouble even seasoned pros I am told). Here’s the issue: We are told to set a hard stop, for...

When selecting a Broker - don't forget this KEY point - my opinion To McGarry and the Rest of the Group here... No - I am NOT using FXCM - despite their claims...Here's why. Trust NO one. That is, EXCEPT for MB Trading - an exceptional, unique company and unlike the rest. Please take a...

Good morning . A quick request for anyone with the time to reply... Do you guys know where the "long Trend Filter" setting is? Mark refers to it in the manual: "4.3 Long trend filter One of the forex rules that it repeated in every forex lesson is "go with the trend". This filter will ensure...

Should we only stay in the trade for the first candle? Should we only stay in the trade for the first candle? Another loser today - real cash, not pennies. Others have referred to the "FMT effect" - that is - the FMT fires a signal, say a Buy - and for a short period - e.g., the first 15...

Yes - that would be the most responsible, customer-supportive approach, wouldn't it?

Wouldn't it be helpful if the author / seller of the system we purchased would step in here with a comment? Yes BlueDancer - I understand your caution and am getting the same feelings. While making the decision to step out should be based on some time period experience that is "statistically...

To all who were kind enough to take their time to reply to my lengthy post earlier today: 1. Thanks for taking the time. 2. Yes - I know December is not representative - I do not trade during this week either. My comments were based upon November - and beyond - AND those comments of "concern"...
