This is the reason I ask this question. Slippage is one thing but the lack of continuity between Friday close and Sunday open concerns me. I suppose thats the reason I am testing on a demo account. Anyway, slippage always moves in your favour, right?:whistling

Hi I have a couple of quick questions. I have checked the forums but cannot find exactly what I want. I am currently testing on a demo account and trade daily forex pairs with 150 pip SLs set on it. Once my order moves 100 pips in my favour I change my stop loss to break even point. If my...

Hi I wanted to know if anyone closes positions when the financial markets close on Friday nights, or, do you leave them open and just wait for your systems' signal to close? Colin

I have a limited account and it always triggers 3 pips away from my entry point:mad:

Aren't we all? I am new to this and want to look for an SB company that offers the lowest spreads and cost per pip. I am with Ig just now but 50p wrecks my money management because of the size of my bank. I am looking more for 10-20p if possible Can anyone please help? Cheers Colin

Cheers, I will drop him a line

I leave around 7:45am for work and normally don't arrive until 8:45am. At the end of the day I finisharound 5pm and get back around 6pm. If this is no good for the ducks then I will troll the forums and look for other methods of trading to fit my working hours. I am currently reading a massive...
