The real way to kill it in fx

There is. There's huge offset between them: they're completely different business models, one of which has an incentive to exploit naive/gullible people and the other one doesn't. In my experience, they're only very tiny gradations of it, and in no ...

Newbie tip: don't rely on anything

The irony of it! The genuine FX brokers are the ones who aren't fraudulent, because they have no incentive to be: all they're doing is executing their customers' trades on their behalf in a market to which the customers don't have access, in ...

The real way to kill it in fx

No; this is wrong. As explained above, it is an option for withdrawal if the funds were originally deposited that way. It's about compliance with anti-money-laundering regulations compelling regulated brokers to return funds to their original ...

Oanda's withdrawal policy with PayPal

Because - as explained just above - these days, for anti-money-laundering regulatory reasons, it's permitted to withdraw only to the source from which the account was funded (which wasn't PayPal, in this case). In other words, for legal/regulatory ...

Oanda's withdrawal policy with PayPal

I don't think there's a single, objective "right answer" to this. It depends on several factors, including what kind of trading one's trying to do. If one's using a method with very few trading opportunities, for example, one might want to watch ...

How many Pairs Should a Trader focus on

I agree. Because no one aspect of trading will, in itself, give you an edge. Edges come only with patience, discipline, statistics, probability, education, experience and practice (there are no productive short-cuts). A lot of beginners start off ...

Technical Analysis alone will not give you an edge

I think Oanda's "policies" in that regard are imposed on them by law, in other words it really isn't their fault. They're not being intransigent about it just to be difficult. Because of international banking and financial transfer regulations ...

Oanda's withdrawal policy with PayPal

I see that your company's domain-name was registered only a few weeks ago. How long have you been providing such services for, and most importantly by whom are you regulated, please?

TradeWiseFX

This is exactly right. When you backtest a Renko-based system, it's all too easy mistakenly to imagine that the "trades" recorded/measured/calculated are trades which you'd have been able to take, yourself. In reality, this is often not the case. ...

Renko channel + Fast EMA = simple and profitable

Sorry to have confused you! I live in England, so from my own perspective the overall, long-term advantages of my trading by spreadbetting are that I have to pay no income-tax or capital gains tax on my trading profits, that way. That's a tremendous ...

Newbie tip: don't rely on anything

A genuine broker won't; no. A genuine broker has no incentive at all to do so (quite the opposite, in fact!) because he has no involvement, himself, in the outcome of your trade. Those situations arise only when one trades with a counterparty ...

If you have a profitable system, will brokers sabotage you?

Why would they be exactly the same, though? You're comparing charts from one genuine broker and one counterparty market-maker, here, I think? IG are trading their own product, essentially. They set their own prices. There's no reason for them ...

How long should it take before I hit the jackpot

If you start to make losses every time, it's perhaps time to "go back to the books" in search of a whole new approach, rather than just trying to tweak and refine one's current approach? That's what backtesting and forward-testing on demo are for; ...

What happens when you have a flawed trading system

Hi Seremonia - Suls (above) is 100% right, and you should pay a great deal of attention to his post. Your method of using BB to determine/predict future support/resistance has no more validity than a randomly drawn horizontal line. No impoliteness ...

Determining Support & Resistance

They're able to hide the fact that it's all related volume (i.e. they can conceal the magnitude of a trade by dividing it into variable-size chunks, but not - as far as I know - to conceal the volume altogether, on a centralised exchange from which ...

How To Trade With a Naked Chart

Ooh, I had one of those National Lottery tickets, once (I bought a newspaper with only a £10 note on me, and the shop didn't have any £1 coins in the till, to give all the change, so I took their offer of a lottery ticket instead. Didn't even win ...

Questian about Ninjatrader

Good question (though it belongs in "Trading Discussions", perhaps, rather than in a folder which lists and discusses specific systems?), but I think the answer varies hugely from person to person. I'd say the answer depends on a variety of factors, ...
