The Rabbit Hole

Personally I think every trader should have several brokers. There is no disadvantage, you do not have to actively trade them all, but they are there and if you have a problem with one you can immediately start trading with another without time lag. ...

DEMO ? If they are not live accounts what is the point ? You must realize that the two are not the same and traders act very very differently when trading live accounts. Anyway, enjoy your game. Maybe you should offer a large prize to make it ...

A TOP100 TE for a part -time trade is probably a good objective and one that would give new focus. TE's are good in that you can easily analyse where you are going. It bugs me though the people that attach to their signatures the 1 week old TE's on ...

Well it kissed and bounced off perfectly the 111.850 level, the question is are we going to get a noticeable pull back (setting a SL to breakeven)..... I want to see the MA crossing downwards on the M30 and M1 before I enter any new shorts otherwise ...

I am watching 111.250 and 111.850 as new areas to short but I wanted to wait until I have the MA's crossing and moving down. I am still holding one misplaced short from earlier this week.

A good honest post which captures I think the essence of trading - and the difficulties Traders who are only ever doing demos will never appreciate the difficulties of live trading; not just the position and placing but when and where to take profit ...

Good job You must have a lot of charts open; you seem to scan or cover a lot of currency pairs and opportunities

I still have my short from yesterday and holding. I can see that on the daily we have room to move up to 11.250 level but on the Hourly and below I see bearish on the MA's

Well it is great that you can close out/stay flat at the end of the day with no DD. My grids tend to be bigger, I like to have at least 75-100 pips between a scale in trade that tends to keep DD manageable. But I hamstring myself by favouring +Swap ...

I tend to focus only on trades with direction in favour of +swap. Works for me and therefore I am more prepared to hold for longer. Can you describe any examples of' scaling in' that you have used recently just so I can follow that bit. Thanks and ...

Hi Nala, Thanks and nice charts. I was watching 1.33 for an entry but I don't normally trade GU that regularly. My target for a short was fixed using the M30 chart as I liked the candlesticks bottoms from yesterday at 1.32500 I took the trade on the ...

I sympathize with you as i usually have between 10% and 30% in DD ..... and when I got the same message I was not very happy.... a couple of months warning would have been much better. I will probably now swap over to UK account as until now the ...
