All answered excellently by Czech! They're great aren't they, those hindsight trades

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, stuff their bröker won't tell them! I guess it's a dilemma for brökers, they never know who will become consistent and trade seriously so they just have to tolerate all the dross. lol, pikers, I love that word! Jeez it's 2am, time to zzz ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, all that would be great except you're missing one important statistic.....allegedly 95% lose! Hey, if you can't defend or justify your argument with reason and logic it's nothing to be embarrassed about, it seems not everyone has the ability ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, if only you understood how meaningless those figures are! Nope, never read his thread, I rarely visit the strategies section, waste of time in my opinion. Can't comment on his strategy because I don't know what it is, although from what ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I absolutely agree but that's not the reason some of these guys are moaning, they don't actually have the funds to begin with. I'm surprised regulators didn't address the safety of funds issue first before this reduction, who knows maybe it's ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, I doubt it. Not really relevant but seeing as you brought it up, I have actually traded 1:1, before all this trading on margin exploded, with 2 and 3c spreads on the majors, practically tourist rate quotes, no charts, and just ceefax and ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

The solution seems fairly simple, just move funds you had set aside for trading into your bröker trading account. There, no reduction in 'manouvrabilty' or your ability to 'strategize'. Oh no wait, you didn't have the funds to start off with! I ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

My wife would probably agree, just it doesn't apply in this instance though, lol Margin for pending orders......jeez, I mean come on, seriously?

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Why? The only possible reason for wanting to have the availability of low broker margin requirement is so you can keep less cash deposited with your broker, but you still need to have that amount of capital allocated to trading otherwise your risk ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Sounds like you're averaging. Sure, that works....until it doesn't. Same comment to you as I made to kingsurfer above. All you've got to do is the math, maybe you'll figure it out, or not. Of course you are, it's hard to defend with logical argument ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

And....? Sorry, I miss the point of that statement. There are plenty of traders who trade multiple pairs successfully, it's not rocket science. Scale in/out, average? Ok, nothing new there really. Well I sure hope you do, it's called controlling ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

And where does risk feature in all this 'least amount of capital to make the most on returns.....because of the higher leverage', can you give us a practical example? I get the feeling you're talking about your brokers margin requirement rather than ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I agree, most successful traders use leverage successfully, just not crazy leverage like 100 or 400:1!! We've already heard from one major bröker that only a small percentage of accounts trade above 50:1 so it seems 50:1 is perfectly adequate for ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I see. Can you give an example of how you 'plug it into your overall equation and do the math'?

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Why change a trend? Anyway, you sobered up yet? Still trying to defrost your charts, lol? I use different resolutions and screen sizes for different applications, for example I find charts don't look so good widescreen, kinda deformed somehow!

Is the Multiple-Monitor Productivity Boost a Myth?

They are cheap! Even with shipping (if they ship to UK) they're a lot cheaper than what's available here! Thanks for the link, I'll give them a call on Tuesday, maybe there's a little niche market to import these in bulk!

Is the Multiple-Monitor Productivity Boost a Myth?

Mine are just refreshingly chilled....

Yeah, that would be it..... image Have about 50 cups of strong black and try again!

What kind of mount/bracket are you guys using for your monitors please?

Is the Multiple-Monitor Productivity Boost a Myth?

Most pikers probably wish that was true, they like to think moving their 100 buck accounts has an impact, but in reality I doubt it's going to make much difference to a bröker's bottom line. Most people who want/need to use ridiculous leverage don't ...
