I'd like to point out that USD is weakening across most currencies today. If CAD retail sales came out CAD negative, USDCAD would spike up, then perhaps a 50/50 chance reversal some minutes later (USD is weak today). But should this figure is CAD ...

CAD Retail Sales m/m

GBPUSD has moved 160 pips since opening. I think its all dollar negative this day.

UK housing data very weak.

GBPUSD has moved up instead of down the past hour. Some news are not worth the attention. I've learn that the "$2000 way" last month.

UK housing data very weak.

However, OANDA has been increasing spreads during news to 10-15 pips now. Perhaps, it would be 20 by the time I started trading with them. I personally do not have the LUXURY of opening up live accounts with each "recommended" broker to test out ...

These past charts should answer the question vividly, objectively.

CAD Retail Sales m/m

If GFT is not good, is propFX good? they are both curenex whitelabels.

Ok.. Just tested it on EURUSD from jan 1 to present. it managed to raise equity from 10K to 11200. $1200 profit? Umm.. I think the RSI+ATR was doing better managing to x2 equity in the same period.

Firebird EA - fixed version -

Global Forex Trading (GFT Forex), good? — Have been shopping around for a new broker (to replace FXCM), and I've narrowed down to just a few. Currently, the one I am interested in is a Currenex whitelabel GFT. It was highly recommended by the ...

GFT Forex Discussion

Does EUR currency react at all to any EUR economic news? Last July, I thought it would, and ended up with lots of losses instead. Now, the only EUR related news I am interested in is the EUR rate hike.

Plan of Action

I just tried backtesting this on GBPUSD, I ended up 20% less money after 5 months of data. I did not modify anything on the expert properties and used "every tick" data to backtest. Am I doing something wrong here???

Firebird EA - fixed version -

Unfortunately, not everyone has a very fast news wire to include the all important Ear-Eye-Brain-Hand Coordination (once you hear/see the news, let your brain decode an decide and command the hand to place the order). Perhaps, by the time you make a ...

Agressive news trading?

I foresee Aug21 8:30AM CAD Retail Sales news as a mover. Last month it moved the USDCAD by 70 pips in 2 minutes. perhaps it would do the same should the news results in a big dissapointment.

Next weeks spike!!??

Been there. Done that. I tried scalping (on demo) and always ended up -50% of equity in a week. NO matter how many indicator combo used, no matter what timeframe used, no matter what candle stick pattern used, I must say, I am just plain unlucky ...

Wut Is Scalping ??

Seeing that this one is an FXCM subsidiary, I'd rather stay away even if they promise it to be a totally different service than their main. Same master = same policies. propFX is a Currenex whitelabel. Currenex representative first recommended GFT ...

propfx?

Pardon me asking but, what are the uses of Hedging? All I know is that hedging can be used in place of Straddle to eliminate the huge "spreads" created during news time. Anything else? (dont laugh, I am relatively new to forex )

hedging with two brokers?

Dont get your hopes up. I asked FXCM people and here is what they have to say:

Margin Call

How is scalping taking advantage of a bug? and what bug is there?

AC-markets (ACM) in Switzerland - safe?

I just replied that post a while back.

AC-markets (ACM) in Switzerland - safe?

Are you referring to using Entry Orders to solve the problem or what? I am seriously considering ACM as my FXCM account replacement.
