Re: Forex Gold Trader Good point Dubai, thanks!

Good point Pete - thanks for your advice!

Hi There I'm very tempted to purchase the following EA: http://forexgoldtrader.com/ The EA basically takes advantage of the current strong up-trends in Gold and Silver - it only places buy orders, and never sell orders. Since it only places buy orders, I'm wondering if things could turn very...

Forex Gold Trader Hi There I'm very tempted to purchase the following EA: http://forexgoldtrader.com/ The EA basically takes advantage of the current strong up-trends in Gold and Silver - it only places buy orders, and never sell orders. Since it only places buy orders, I'm wondering if...

Thanks all for the varied opinions. As I am pretty much a newbie, I think I'll put this plan to use spread betting for news events on hold, or perhaps look into opening an account with the likes of FXCM...

Hi ArabianNights Thanks for the quick reponse. I don't fully understand however. Are you basically saying I should not attempt the 'trade the news' forex strategies on a spread betting account? Thanks Winnerman

Hi There I've been reading about 'trade the news' forex strategies, to be specific 'spike', and 'retracement' strategies i.e. you wait for a major economic news release, such as as an unemployment report, and then trade the spike or subsequent retracement. I'm pretty much a newbie and was...

I've not bothered to trade today, as there does not appear to be any trend...

Hi Barnesan I placed my very first trade today, and like you report no stop loss appears to have been hit. The charts dived sometime after 7 and I made a +18 profit. I'm a total newbie to this, but like yourself am researching alternative strategies in order to spread risk - I don't want to be...

Hi Thanks for that. You mention you would have been down -30 on the 15th. I placed a test order with 10p pip just to test out the execution - I'm +18 !? I don't get it - maybe I accidentally implemented the strategy in reverse!? :o:o

Hi I'm a total newbie to this, and would appreciate some help. In the 'order to open' screen. is 'order type' (under order level) always a 'stop' regardless of whether you are buying or sellling? Thanks

Thanks, Peter - looking forward to it. Even if it doesn't make me a lot of money, at least it will coax me to get out of bed early for a change :-)

Hi I've just ordered the Net Trap system - any ideas how long it takes to arrive!? Thanks WinnerMan
