How does it feel to be successful?

(binned per thread starter's request) Friendly Trading Competitio

Why $1000 to start with? Is that to make the stakes high so it looks more of a serious competition? Or is it that if one loses they receive more of a punishment? If anyone can double $100, they probably can double 1K just the same. What if you have ...

How to build a very profitable EXPERT ADVISOR

To all my fellow Canadians, BCSC, Ontario whatever they are called and IIROC are going to love your posts. They are going to sniff out where most Canadians are opening accounts and come down on the respective brokers like a sack of manure and ...

Brokers for Canadians?

Myth: Make sure you use stop loss on every trade. To me SL is like giving yourself a light fine for entering a stupid trade (it didn't look stupid at the time) instead of getting a hefty fine later. The problem is, how many light fines are you going ...
