Lazar, as you noted that is the expert closing on an opposite signal. I am running the expert on EU for the next three hours. Will report back.

Tick Chart Scalper

Perhaps less trading is good trading. I am going to try only trading the expert during the top three highest pip move hours of each day and then reassess before proposing any filters. That is the WmiVol indicator on the hourly if anyone wants to ...

Tick Chart Scalper

So I ran this a few hours today on a live account using M15 and 1H as direction filters. Of course, performance is highly broker dependent. The expert took a little over 70 trades and made a slight gain despite me trading it near the end of the NY ...

Tick Chart Scalper

Curious about combining this with need4speed (based on the mid price). Just thinking out loud after watching it work some.

Tick Chart Scalper

Cool concept, don't give just up yet. May have merit with some work and careful monitoring. image

I'm now with Oanda, and the spreads are high (see comments in the Oanda thread). But I have to say that Oanda's executions are decent thus far, likely because of the new engine that they recently implemented. From what I have read about forex.com, I ...

Oanda vs FOREX.com vs any other broker for US clients

I am with Oanda because I have little choice at the moment. And yes I know it's a cross - I also trade majors when the setups are right. I have traded with many other brokers and know these are not ideal trade conditions. Let see what the commission ...

OANDA Discussion

And a live trade to confirm (to be fair, I am sure the LPs' spread did widen somewhat during this time): image

OANDA Discussion

At least Oanda is transparent, I give it credit for that. The spreads do not need to be this high (on a commission based model anyway). This is cadjpy today. image

OANDA Discussion

No, the spikes are at odd times, especially on crosses. Just set the Oanda historical spread tracker to max and take a look for yourself.

OANDA Discussion

So I transferred from FXCM to Oanda and I have to say Oanda's spread spikes are just ridiculous. I don't know what else to say as these spikes have very little to do with liquidity. I wish Oanda would change to a commission based model as trading in ...

OANDA Discussion

Hhm, I just noticed that AMP futures offers MT5. That is an interesting option as much of what I have coded in MT4 should work on MT5 with some mods. Has anyone tried MT5 with AMP? As far as I know, AMP is the only broker in the US offering MT5... ...

I didn't take EA yet, but shorted audnzd @1.072 for a swing down.

EA looking to test 37 again, lots of room below on that one

The Swamp

C, Thank you for your posts, entertaining music and other selections, as always. Curious about your view on position sizing in your models. It seems a number trend traders have differing views on position sizing and I am unsure if one is correct or ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

If I had an extra $20M sitting around, I would hire a bunch of the former fxcm employees, get decent regulatory counsel, and then set one up.

FXCM and CEO Drew Niv banned from US market by CFTC

Well, I funded a new Oanda account yesterday - will see how it compares to fxcm. Oanda had a bad bucket rep when I first started in fx, but that was years ago. It is a shame fxcm is no longer an option. Fine to open offshore with play money on ...

FXCM Discussion

The US FX market has the potential to change dramatically in short order if Trump can repeal the major provisions of Dodd Frank. ...

FXCM and CEO Drew Niv banned from US market by CFTC

I must give fxcm credit -- all of my funds were wired to my bank within 24 hours. Now I have to decide on Oanda or Gain or switch to futures, or some combination thereof. I was on the phone with an Oanda specialist for some time today, and its new ...

FXCM Discussion

I've heard that some brokers will work with you to setup a custodial account if one satisfies certain minimum account size requirements. This type of thing is often not advertised and is broker specific...
