I'm an Oanda user. No issues with them at all. I've never found telephone dealing to be an issue regardless who I trade through. Since everything has been electronic I've never used the telephone once (and that's over quite a few years) to place any kind of order (entry exit or otherwise)...

This is such an interesting question, and full marks for asking it. Many wouldn't have the guts to do that... No-one can tell you whether to close your account, to step back and take a break, or what to do. No-one that is except you. And that requires self-honesty. In fact trading requires...

:lol: That sounds a little like a broker saying in the small print that their customers are only allowed to take on losing trades. :lol: As regards the use of the word 'illegal', that is a misrepresenation. It is not illegal to scalp, but few actually win overall doing it for any length of...

As I suspected. A potential Dead-Zone early entry into the next daily candle and of course the larger implications that affords within a much larger strategy. Whether the 'idea' is viable, or sustainable, or even if it has sufficient merit for inclusion into existing opertaions will be seen in...

If this trade hits neither stop (91) nor target (61) will you 'time it out' then?

I look at many things ZD and either use them or elements of them if they both stack up and 'fit' existing operations or discard them if they either don't stack up or do not have a suitable 'fit'. Each possibility or idea is judged on its merits. Small discrepancy going on here ZD. Your previous...

I've been following this thread with a certain amount of interest, not because if the title (although that is clearly designed to catch the eye...) or because of the claimed profit, or because of all the opinion about risks and money management approaches or whatever or even because of the...

Looks like you got your wish for a sub 1pip Eurodollar spread. This morning it's so quiet it's reading 0.9...

ROFL Talking about trading signals contrarian. FXCM have a news service built into their platform, and in that news service is a kind of a trade advisory service where they take on (supposedly) varius trades with some really amazing rationales that on the surface look very plausible. I followed...

I don't know how many doing FX have also had experience of stocks. directly into stocks, not playing the edges via spreadbets/cfd's or whatever. Trading direct access you will get variable spreads which are dictated by the best bid and best ask available. You will get slippage on stops and stop...

Well - I'm gonna leave this alone now with a thought. Market makers (and I was one for many years) make good livings out of people trying to jump on the trend/break that will never look back . Market makers equally make good livings out of people trying to call tops and bottoms or turning...

Sigh! Oh well - I tried. I keep coming out of hibernation from time to time and tell it the way it is. Maybe some get it maybe others don't. Time to go back into hibernation I think...

OK put another way - Why run after it - you'll never catch it. Of course you could always try waiting at the station and the train will come to you won't it?

Where do you get on the train? And when the train gets to that place what does the train do in order for you to get on it?

OK - How many people lose money hand over fist by getting stopped out of trends? (because they set themselves up as a target) How many people lose hand over fist by 'thinking' the trend could be over? (and get run over by the express train they should be trying to catch at the station) How...
