I would say its more a drop in accuracy rather than a complete failure. Back-testing results are always very subjective and often times "fit".. I would say half any expected results and if its still profitable then you might have something. In your case 85% / 2 = 42.5% W/L which is actually...

Yes your scalping.. In terms of popularity I really don't know. Is it a successful way, who am I to say which way will give you success. In all honesty your the better judge of the success than me you have been trading it after all. I would give a word a caution to remember risk levels and...

Sorry to be blunt but your the one wanting to trade Futures so why don't you check. If your expecting people to constantly hold your hand throughout it's perhaps time for a reality check... Ask for help by all means but you are required to do some of the leg work yourself :rolleyes:

So assuming your trading stocks I would use. http://www.freestockcharts.com/platform/v1 For information and charts http://www.investopedia.com/simulator/ For trading platform, the investopedia simulator isn't great but alright to get an understanding. Ignore the challenge aspect of the...

Thanks for that information, I haven't been paying much attention to news today. It's quite a shock to see so many brokers go under. This news makes ETX seem a little more stable than those others. This move has motivated me to start employing a guaranteed stop strategy, the extra cost will be...

That's not good, I got an email from ETX Capital along similar lines except luckily I wasn't in the market at the time so doesn't effect me. "Please be informed that due to today’s exceptional market movement in CHF crosses, we have been filling clients’ orders and positions in an extremely...

Nobody can judge your opinion because you have failed to voice any kind of response or reasoning. The purpose of a discussion thread is to discuss, perhaps you could elaborate as to why its "downhill".. who knows you might actually input something useful if you try.

Price analysis is the core of technical analysis, I make a point to mention them separately because indicators often get bundled within TA which is a higher level skill. So to understand price analysis we must first understand what technical analysis is, it's the process of using data on a...

There are five main ones for futures, right... Wrong !! Indicators as a whole are only there to confuse and delay, ever wondered why a broker will have banners advertising hundreds of indicators.. Because they waste your time and more importunity your money. There is no super secret indicator...

Forget even asking which is better or more profitable.. The expected return is more to do with the individual person rather than the market, $5k should be alright for either but don't expect to walk away with it if your a beginner. Good luck

What is the margin requirements from the broker? Your margin is the minimum you must have in your broker account to take a trade. This will be a different amount dependant on the broker and market traded. What is an online forex broker? Google "online forex brokers" What is unrealized and...

Indicators are your worst enemy, they are the hydraulics on a low rider. Purely for show and slow you down in the end. Clear your charts and look at PRICE, where has it been & where is it going.

Honestly couldn't careless which pair am trading, if the trade sets up ill take it. I watch around 30+ markets so plenty to choose from :-) You do find some markets have a little more volatility than others, but that's easy to spot once you get some practice in.

Just forward test as your doing and don't get to worked up about back testing, for such a small time frame its impractical. :thumbsup:
