John, Good idea, I agree with you. I trade almost exclusively EUR/CHF and EUR/USD but I will venture into USD/JPY or other pairs if I spot a news event or if my main pairs are totally stagnating and I see something that catches my eye on another ...

Demo Account Log, Part II

I am doing a demo with MIG Investments. So far I have had only one re-quote out of nearly 200 trades. I had them very often with my live mini account at InterBankFX. I will update when I have a live account with MIG. They offer low spreads on many ...

Demo Account Log, Part II

Scott, Thanks for the swift reply. I suppose I will have to test my limits on the EUR/CHF pair once I complete my 30 day demo and start my real account. From the information I have read through Google it sounds like this pair has plenty of liquidity ...

Liquidity?

I run MT4 mobile on my Sprint PocketPC. Not exactly the same service as what you are asking about... but it does work very well, especially when I'm in the city (Charlotte, NC).

Question for wireless traders...

So, is there any way for me to get data about real trading volume for a pair? Thanks!

MetaTrader Volume Number?

Peter, I had noticed the part about the lack of account segregation before. That is a concern for me... but how many brokers actually DO seperate the funds? I know IBFX does, but as I said, I really don't like their service much anymore. One of the ...

IBFX Problem / New Broker Question

Puppy, I agree, my trade was not the best in regards to risk management. Had I set up my hedge position sooner or dropped out entirely I would not have had a problem. Unfortunatly I had waited until a time where it was my last hope to set a hedge ...

IBFX Problem / New Broker Question

Why do some brokers not like scalpers?

Any new comments on GBP/JPY? This one doesn't seem like it's coming back down! I was finally stopped out by the market open jump today on my open trade. I am debating whether I should try shorting this pair again.

Low Risk, High Reward Trading Experiment

itme, GBP/JPY stopped out again. Are you still confident in this trade? I left one open from a lower level against better judgement and your advice and I think I may go ahead and dump it. In your opinion, though, do you think this is just temporary ...

Low Risk, High Reward Trading Experiment

Psychology is my stumbling block right now. When I control myself and stick to my goal for the day I do well... when I try to earn too much I always end up back tracking! But it is so hard to know when to quit. This is why I finally started trading ...

Why so hard?

"Their" stop loss? I don't understand... what exactly did they mean by THAT? If you account had money left in it you should be able to hold your trades until the end, correct?

bad broker..The worst of the worst ..reprise
