it'd pay for anyone who hasn't already, to either do some googling about the structure of fx, or read all of Darkstars posts because he pretty much covers it all anyway for you in nice neat packages... or do both for a double win. here's a tip : if ...

A quite radical approach to forex trading

uh oh. why even mention brokers? they play no part in the prices on the chart. they don't MOVE anything except the part of the spread they bake-in into their account while waiting for it's clients to stuff up and blow their Nth account at which ...

A quite radical approach to forex trading

that's NOT 4 pips. that's 5 PIPETTES. big difference. you can't place orders wherever you like. each broker has their own set of rules as to how close to the current price you can set orders and stoplosses and takeprofits etc. just play around with ...

question about buy stop

no, just buy us each an island and we will call it square. i call dibs on the biggest island!

Make PeterFM's thread compulsory!

interesting post esuffw. don't you follow fti's teachings though? and is his teachings not essentially averaging down (and up) when possible, and cutting the loss when no longer showing signs of recovering? the problem i have and i'm sure many ...

There are no secret patterns and there will never be one

probably because the person on the chat isn't a tech. if the person was a tech they might have proceeded further, or might not have. just because their is a road doesn't mean anyone can use it. just because there is a chat doesn't mean every little ...

GoMarkets Discussion

lol, i'm not angry. the question is... are you paranoid? i would suggest that the reason the mql from mt4 has been killed is because, quite simply, it was wrong and broken and BAD. perhaps it was somewhat intuitive for newbies, but that's because ...

MQL5/MT5

warning : i'm a naysayer so ignore the rest if you don't want to read it... this is a lot like watching kids make a cubby house out of blankets or something. everyone has an idea, but no one has a clue. and at the end of the day nothing new or ...

Ok, Lets do it - Developing a Highly Profitable System

i'm not saying it should just forget everything normally loaded... simply don't load it (safe mode) this time and allow the user to remove from the list what they don't want loaded next time. windows keeps track of if you shutdown properly or if the ...

MT4 eating my memory?

agreed. i'm still waiting on the proof. i don't doubt that bullshit CAN be pulled, i'm just waiting for someone to prove that IT DOES get pulled. that's my 2c on the "mt4/5 is teh theef lolwtfbbq" talk. now my extra 2c on the mql arguments... i ...

MQL5/MT5

it's pretty fucking ridiculous that mt4 doesn't keep track of if it closed ok or not, and if it didn't close ok then to not load a goddamn thing. what a joke. it's so archaic feeling sometimes.

MT4 eating my memory?

just a little something something that i finally bothered to put together that may or may not help with backtesting ideas with vhands. they are very basic, but priority is function over form. nbDayOpenTimes2Indi : to help visualize what the time is ...

VHands Trading Simulator

check that you haven't maxed the space on your hdd. it wouldn't surprise me that the history download ate the last space left on your hdd, and now when you try to run mt4 windows is unable to efficiently use it's swap file and is desperately trying ...

MT4 eating my memory?

that's why people who aren't just playing-around use them as this "big cost" becomes a "negligible cost" compared to their bankroll, coupled with ninja-trader to do the nitty gritty. i don't know if i have ever heard of someone with IB who isn't ...

What is a 'large' position?

who isn't buying there? did you miss out on a bargain? no really. who isn't? people going overseas. companies exchanging moneys. banks. someone playing a basket / diversity strategy. if no one other than the bank is buying, then they are the buyers ...

Who is buying here?

What is your Account size?

that is very cool that you still use it. it's stuff like this which makes me feel like my brain is made of concrete. i can't wrap my head around some of the stuff you money-milking guys manage to pull-off. kudos.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Oh right. You really are green. It's adding positions to a winner. Averaging up. A google would surely have told you though

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

yes, you can pyramid and still have the same amount of risk available for the market to take from you. but once you are in the black you can do anything you like really, from increasing your risk (for whatever reason :/ ) or decreasing to to zero or ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

this is called picking tops or bottoms, and it is what we all want to do but fail at. depending on how you play it you might make it work, and reading TheRealThing's posts will elaborate more, or whatever that equity milliipede thread is also. it's ...
