      Hi WinLots. You turned 1K into 5K so that tells you, you are on the right path--maybe not there 100% but getting to it. Don't be discouraged--this was only a step back. An important learning lesson nonetheless. My 2 suggestions are: 1) "You thought" ...

      Crazy day and lost it all

      Excellent idea Daft! Don't know why i couldn't think of that. Even Atilla mentioned Citifx yesterday. I guess once I heard 10-20K needed, I filed that broker under "never mind". haha Might continue for rest of week on this Alpari demo just to see ...

      I bought some Yen pairs in the interim to bring in quick profits while I wait for my DD on my USD longs to reduce. The probability will likely have the trend continue short for Yen pairs. I know I am not trading this strategy perfectly...I'm just ...

      I bought some Yen pairs in the interim to bring in some quick profits while I wait for my DD on my USD longs to reduce. If you notice, those Yen buys were all showing Positves--they were on the bottom part of the indicator, so I chose to bank some ...

      DD is going down — I finally closed 2 G/J trades--my first losses (they were counter trades--buys) of $48. Now, wouldn't you figure, G/J is going up. Reason for taking loss/closing: G/J was languishing and I didn't think the interest rate ...

      Interesting, Daft about Oanda. I'm with Alpari currently and as far as I know, no such thing exists. They always make me close the first trade I put on (at a loss) before closing the 2nd which might be at a profit. And, yes, you're right this should ...

      I notice from your screenshot that you have a heavy bias to the "buy" side. How do you navigate with the Pit Bull "indicator" to confirm that you are on the correct side of the bias? Hi Jon, From what I understand of tecnical analysis, let's take ...

      Pit Bull! — I am up $245 (banked) using the smallest of lots (.01, .04 maybe an .05 and I've not taken one loss). Now, $245 doesn't sound like much, but keep in mind I can't use same currency pair hedging and am stymied by FIFO rules (I am ...

      Interest Rates — Another tool to possibly control drawdown. I haven't had a chance yet to study Brijon's other posts regarding swap rates/rollover/carry, etc. but I thought it might be helpful to post where one could find interest rates: ...

      Wow...that's great to know as well, thanks Atilla. Since you're with them, could you do a quick comment on how you find their execution? i.e., any requotes, server down during key times, etc. And they'd prefer 20K? That's a lot of bananas!

      Really???? Thanks, Murph, I'll have to check it out. I don't know how they could get away with it though...Worst case, I guess I open a 2nd account and trade that as a hedge against open positions. Then at least I don't have FIFO or No-Hedge policy ...
