I don't know if my experience was an isolated incident but I started experiencing trades not closing when the lots were 50+ but, (1) this was on a demo server where they're not likely to allocate their robust resources and, (2) these few consecutive ...

At what lot size/account size do you have scale issues?

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. As a personal rule for myself when I'm forward testing on demo, if the equity doesn't meet the balance within 2 trading sessions, I consider that account already blown. The goal really is to have equity meet the ...

I've been around for 5 years so I'm not aware of the Black Friday reference. Which symbol did the "Black Friday" affect? Also, could you elaborate more about the frequency of those roughly once a decade Black Fridays? I've actually started ...

Most traders fail because of no discipline!

Could you give an example of what trades or profits would look like with latency arbitrage? In other words, what would be a tell for the broker? I assume it would be the trade lasting for less that a second or so.

Have your ever heard about latency arbitrage?

Just my two pips and, I hate to sound like a naysayer especially when I haven't experimented with arbitrage but with common sense, I would have to imagine the odds would be massively against the retail trader on this sort of thing and it's likely to ...

Have your ever heard about latency arbitrage?

I don't think the problem is with the propaganda machine that promotes Fibonacci, Bollinger Bands, etc., because in actuality, nearly all, if not all, of these tools are useful to some degree. I think the problem is that the majority of unsuccessful ...

Forex - A negative sum game for losers

If it's seeming too hard then my guess is that your system may need to be polished a bit more. My two pips is to keep changing things until you have an easy well-defined process.

Trading is hard, but I like it

It has no direct monetary value but there's the reward of being publicly considered one, of a hand full of giants, within forex retail communities on ForexFactory and a few other forums. Of course another giant currently active at ForexFactory is ...

To clarify my previous post, by "interesting" I was meaning I blew my account with it when I was a fresh newbie. I wasn't implying it is interesting and should be tried.

Is the event in your picture what people refer to as Black Swan? I've also seen reference to White Swan but I haven't seen a picture of that either.

Do you think there's some technical limitation that could be preventing them from making the language forward-compatible or is it just that they're deliberately attempting to discard MQL4 in favor of MQL5? I'm sure decisions aren't simple and they ...
