Hehe, doesn't matter Willem. BTW: I like your rules-pdf. Maybe I can contribute a little bit in the future. Will see... Tomorrow we have a holiday here in Germany so I probably won't trade tomorrow. Regards - Xaron

Not yet. I don't see the need for Bollinger Bands here. But I tried the Ema8 which worked better in 1m timeframe for me, which I sometime use to trade the news. Regards - Xaron

Bah... that doesn't make the difference, I'm sure your position size was bigger. May be it's because of the low spread (1.6 pips @ Oanda for the USD/JPY). Regards - Xaron

My 3 trades today: 1st: EUR/USD short. Just a nice one, there was a resistance around the 10EMA, a small triangle. The S1 was near but there was enough room to break even at least. Made 10 pips. Unfortunately I missed the second one, which would ...

Yes, Oanda is a market maker. In my opinion one of the best and very reliable. They don't want to rip off their clients, they get their income from spread and interest. Regards - Xaron

Oanda or Alpari?

@peterM: Oanda is NOT a dealing desk broker. And yes, Oanda is very trustworthy. The only thing I'd never put $100k to them is because of the missing funds insurance. I just mention Refco. You remember? @Dopey: What do you mean with "they do take ...

Oanda or Alpari?

Yep, I won't use Oanda or any other retail broker with $100k. I'd use a "real" broker then, not a market maker. Oanda is not a dealing desk broker! Oanda doesn't trade against you, that's for sure. Regards - Xaron

Oanda or Alpari?

Thanks Haystack, I guess you're right. What about a sl of 15 and a tp of 60 for the EUR/JPY. What do your backtests say there? Regards - Xaron

FXTradepro: Strategy using a “Semi-Martingale” Position Sizing

Hmm... don't be so angry. The strategy is clear, there are no secrets. It's easy to put this into an own EA. I just have to thank him to share this strategy. The EA is not the most important part of this - just my opinion. Regards - Xaron

FXTradepro: Strategy using a “Semi-Martingale” Position Sizing

If you want to use a small account I'd give Oanda a chance. They usually have a spread of 2.5 for the GBP/USD. Regards - Xaron

What is lowest spread on GBP/USD out there?

First I have to say that I have live accounts at Oanda and Alpari UK. So I know the differences. Oanda has a max. leverage of 50:1, Alpari has normally a leverage of 100:1. If you write an eMail to them, you get up to 500:1 if you need it. Oanda has ...

Oanda or Alpari?

Please read the first posting, he started this topic. The problem: NO SL. But I'm also sorry to hear that! Regards - Xaron

Thanks Carlos. This sounds interesting! Which pairs do you use with this 4h-BAT? Regards - Xaron

The Bat...a strategy by Team Aphid

@gunset: I'd taken this, too. What was your initial stop? In my opinion you should always try to reach at least the pips you've set as stop. So if your stop is 10 pips, your target should be at least 10 pips. Regards - Xaron

Thanks again from me Willem! I love you explanations. I'll post some charts again, I promise. Ok, I've promised this earlier but had not the time to trade intraday. Luckily Oanda has lowered their spread in EUR/USD to 0.9 pips! Regards - Xaron
