Alan Sound common sense!

Has anyone who uses IG Index to trade found a way to do so automatically at a specific time? There are reasonably sophisticated backtest & screener modules in the "Advanced Charts" tool but they do not seem to allow a specific time for a trade other than open/close. At the moment I open the...

Thanks Lady Forex ... Wiseambitions' post is 17th Feb at 5.24am

I am interested in the success of the TP 10 pips strategy. I recall some analysis of this but cannot locate it. Anybody help please?

I use IGIndex - spread is 3 pips - min bet size is £0.50 per pip. Charting is good but costs £30 per month - you get this back if you place 2 or more trades per month. Indicators are not quite the same as Mark's eg Momentum is (I think) the same as IG's 'Price rate of change' so I use this plus...
