How do you trade news?

Do you remember when it started? It's interesting that you say this week has gotten worse. Me and Shutopia were talking about this and it's gotten worse for us this past week as well.

I know how you feel. I have been able to keep my emotions in check, but not really detached up until this point, but something happened this week.... I was checking to see how Oanda was filling my orders, so I put in 1 unit in a sell window. The ...

I didn't forget about you LOL. I'm thinking about how to explain it. I will get back to you next week.

When did this start for you? Did you make a lot of money before Oanda started doing this?

Linuxtroll Simple Scalping

That's exactly what they want. There are debates about whether Oanda has a problem with profitable traders. With the way they have been acting lately, I doubt that they want anyone to make money LOL.

Linuxtroll Simple Scalping

Shutopia, I've been having the same issue with Oanda. It started last week also. Are you making money? My thought is that they do this once you have started to make a lot.

Just for the record, I will say that ItalianFX is right about the negative spread lasting more than a few seconds and it happens very frequently...just happened tonight again for 1-2 minutes. I trade EUR/JPY exclusively so I can't comment on other ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yes, it took me awhile to get past that "fear" LOL. As far as relaxation/hypnosis for trading....it's best to write something yourself and record it(audacity is free or use a voice recorder). This is for the reason I mentioned. It wasn't what was ...

For that session, my average was about 7 pips. Overall, it keeps changing. Some days it will be 13-15 while others it will be 2 pips. I keep track of $ amounts now more than pips, so I'm not sure what the average is over a long period of time. Hope ...

Thanks guys. JL, I will figure out the average win/loss tomorrow and let you know. With my newfound computer skills(copy&paste into spreadsheet LOL), I think I can actually get a solid idea of where I'm at and how I'm really performing. Thanks ...

Rainbow Patterns/Observations

Wow, that worked. A lot easier. Anyway... 11/1/07 58 trades total(I thought it was more too) 45 wins 13 losses This works out(rounded) to a 78% win ratio. +123 pips total The biggest win was +15 with the biggest loss being -7. Wow, it's not that ...

Rainbow Patterns/Observations

Oh, you can do that? LOL, I'm using google spreadsheets(on a mac) so I will try it there and see. If this works, I'm going to feel like an idiot LOL.

Rainbow Patterns/Observations

LOL, I've done this...it will let you read it online in .csv(which is pointless) but you can't download it. The point of downloading it would be to put it in a spreadsheet and work with it a lot faster. Oh well, I'll just count by hand, I guess. I ...

Do a search on FF for username: tradertax (not sure if it's capitalized) I, personally, was on demo this time last year so this will be my first time paying taxes. If your trading on an ECN, you might be able to write off commisions...not sure. When ...

Forex Taxes

How does a statement help you learn? Yes, I am making money. I'm not going to put any thing relating to my personal finances on a public forum. I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about this...if you put in the time and effort, it's not ...

Rainbow Patterns/Observations

OK, does anyone know if you can export your trade history/statements from oanda? I'm sitting here trying to count my trades and I keep having to start over because it's all piled together. It would be a lot easier if I could export a .csv or ...
