Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

All very logical, but the fact is 90% of people are unable to put most of that into practice! Most traders know what they should be doing but they're simply unable to do it no matter how hard they try! Most people need a psychologist more than they ...

Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make?

If you are an experienced trader then why would you want a mentor to review your trading? Sure it might be mutually beneficial to compare notes with another experienced trader but that's not mentoring. I realize jacko is a pied piper here on FF so ...

Let me get this straight, you expect people who trade for a living to prove it to you by posting their "....technique and an explanation of how and why the trades that are shown were made..."? Why ever would they want to do that, they probably ...

SL hunting by broker?

NFA - "No more Limit or Stop Loss orders"

I don't want to get involved in the whole FXCM/FIFO debate but I don't think e-micro is viable unless they bring commissions down. The best quote I've had is around $7 R/T, so 5-6 ticks for one M6E Eur/Usd micro contract, plus spread is around 4-5 ...

NFA - "No more Limit or Stop Loss orders"

Veteran forex traders, how much leverage do you use to trade?

Is it important what other people use, they could be scalpers with <10 pip stops or positional traders with >250 pip stops, you couldn't use the same leverage for both. Even on this thread you've got people saying anything between 1:1 and 50:1 My ...

Veteran forex traders, how much leverage do you use to trade?

I think you're missing the point slightly, leverage used shouldn't be a calculation to decide trade size, it's a by-product calculation if you like and it's irrelevant. 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, even 50:1.....they can all be fine. You don't think to yourself ...
