Live trading — As mentioned above, my current “demo” account is a small “live” account – for me having real money on the line makes a difference, even if it is only a few dollars per trade I risk. The downside with a small account, is ...

Dr Zeus, I also share your frustration in regards to seeing tight SL, or not so tight (at 50pips or more) get hit before the price reverses and trends in the direction I originally wanted. I have just finished reading “Trade your way to financial ...

Dr Zeus Does Demo

The Holy Grail There is so much information out there for small traders like ourselves; forums like FF, a plethora of websites, books on almost every topic to do with trading, to name but a few. The trick is filtering out the good from the bad and ...

Trading History I had found Forex! This was the vehicle to get me to my destination! Not quite sure how I stumbled across it, but a couple of years ago I opened a demo account with Oanda. Blew the account, topped it up. And again. Again, and again, ...

Thanks - sorted. X.

Hi Adilius, I like the account summary format as it also charts NAV. I believe you trade Oanda, like myself - who is the account summary through? I used myfxbook, but they no longer do Oanda accounts, and also MT4stats.com (as well as the MT4 ...

Yes, a few improvements over at Oanda recently. I suddenly saw the 10min, 4h, and 8h appear - good additions in my view. As well, they now allow MT4 accounts. I prefer trading with Oanda because I can easily amend lot size to meet my r/r ratio ...

divergence here? — Looking at this, would we look at bottom of price as we are bottom half of MACD or still top of price. Are these lines long enough to consider a divergence factor? Thanks, X. image

Hi tikky, congrats on your first post. I'm very new to this thread as well, and so can only offer a beginners viewpoint - I see that pinbar as a swing high, not swing low, and I also see you trading into "traffic", so overall not an A+ setup for me. ...

Just took the profit on this one although I feel there is still more downward movement to come - I've had a couple of other trades over the last few days go positive, moved the stop to BE + 5, only to see it hit on a pullback... I read somewhere on ...

Divergence? — Hi, Rather new to divergence, which I admit I don't usually look at. Is the below the right way to look at it (pink line) X. image

james16 Chart Thread

I'm in on a LT trade - I entered on the first break of the 1.42, which now seems to be acting as support, although with low volume. I see the FTA to be the 1.40 area, looking somewhat optimistically at 1.38 area. Zooming out to weekly if the support ...

james16 Chart Thread

Well, would have been good for 120 pips - unfortunately at +30 I moved my stop to Be+5 and on a pullback it was hit, although it didn't reach my entry, only to see it continue down and now reach the 1.6170 area. Cest la vie. Did you enter Stewrigh? ...

I liked this one - in short at 1.6291, sl now at BE+5, first exit looking around 1.6210, second exit at 1.6170. X.

james16 Chart Thread

You seemed to be doing very well up to that point, looking at the steady climb in your graph I would say your "edge" is workable, but that MM has let you down. I've blown a couple of small accounts, after doubling them, through a combination of ...

This will work! and keep working! possibly for weeks, maybe even months! and then wipe out most of your account... and that only has to happen once. Once, even if it is one in a thousand. You need to re-read my earlier post. This is the novice ...

1min scalping using mtf ALF by bbolss

First, Have been doing a bit of trading 5m-15m using Lou Gs ALF with mixed results, but was out of market last week so not sure how the revised ALF is compared to first. Your idea looks interesting, and on M1 there will be more trading ...

Had the same problem a few times, I just hit the start button again and it opens it up in a chart window straight away. The problem I have is for me it goes back only a few weeks/months/days depending on the t/f, irrespective what dates/years I ...
