Monday, April 18, is the day U.S. Income taxes are due! Normally, the due date each year is April 15, but because of a Washington, D. C., holiday this year, the whole nation gets an extra three days until the filing deadline.

Clearly a sell today which my ea ignored after stupidly taking a losing long when it looked like it should have been a short yesterday. I think my robot is on the take! Where are Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney when you really need them. :^)

Re: taxes. In the U.S. any capital gains obtained in less than one year are taxed as regular income at whatever the normal tax rate of the individual trader is. Hence, if the trader's tax rate is 30 percent so would be the short-term capital gain. Doubt there are many forex traders who would...

Jashfix: I should have noted that I do use the EA (I like to get a good night's sleep on the East Coast of the U.S). So, I was wondering about two placements by the EA. Thanks for your response. I don't want to add a broker, so I'll try to come up with something for the single platform, like...

Although I've kept up with this thread over time, I can't remember reading how to successfully place two instances of FMT. I'd like to try two trades with different trade amounts and SL/TP parameters. Can it be done on one platform or do you have to have two different brokers? Duh! Thanks! By...

If any of you are still bravely stumbling thru real trades this month, you can be very thankful for one thing. Mark didn't design Forex Morning Trade as a Martingale system. Whew, what a wipe out that would have become! :*)

EA must have dozed off--no signal on live SmartTradeFX (real close call, though). Wide awake was demo VantageFX's EA with long 35 pips TP.

Hmmm. On the east coast US, I got up about 45 minutes ago to find that I was still in the trade, and it was about 10:30 a.m. London time. Watched the trade bob up and down, and one of the indicators slipped out of buy territory. So I did what any red-blooded adventurer would do. Tossed a coin...

+35 pips with SmartTradeFX (live), in at 1.75805. Demos split--FXOpen +35, VantageFX no trade.

Started live trading with two wins last Thursday and Friday. Today, no trade was ordered by two of my brokers and a long was called for by my third broker. Two of my brokers are demo and the third is live. Guess which one was wrong? :^(

Just got started with FMT and find it profitable and enjoyable. Just a quick question about applying it to other pairs. I set up the ea on EUR/USD today and received a sell signal. However, the ea did not post the trade, so I did it manually. Doubt that I will want to do much experimenting like...

Hey, Hammy & Ihelfman: Thanks for your quick replies. Very helplful to me. So, the next splash you hear will be me diving into this system, hopefully to be in for a refreshing swim -- and not a drowning :^)

Hi all, I plan to buy the system today and probably a few questions I have are covered in the manual, but... I live in south Florida, so does that mean I will trade this at 1:30 a.m. (and will time change back to EST affect this)? Also I just got into a demo MTL4 account, and I'm not...

Hey, Captain: Probably a dumb question, but must the last high be above the 60SMA in a buy situation, and must it be topped by a green candle? (And, of course, would the last low in a sell situation be below the SMA and would the point of the V be have to be a red candle)? I've run into...

Hey,lbranjord ; In your system, have you changed the 5-minute rule to 15 minutes, or is that a typo?
