Has anyone else tried the Alpari Options demo? The platform seems to be the best one I have used, and the spreads are only about 5 pips - I wonder if this will translate to the real world when the system goes live? The only problem I see is that ...

Lenoxer, I believe UBS will let you play directly on the interbank market if you have at least $500,000

Agreed. It is the only form of forex trading I have done that consistently makes money. I think there are probably a few reasons it's not more popular on this forum: 1. Initially seems quite complicated, and requires a different perspective. 2. No ...

I find selling options very tough psychologically. You make a trade 30 days or so in advance then wait. If you are impatient, it is hard to sit there not doing anything for a month. You have to have a large sum of money just sitting there in case ...

Why not try out a demo account for yourself? Personally I found their currency options offerings rather limited.

I trade a SMSF account with GoMarkets, and have traded options and CFD's in the past. It has never been an issue come audit time, for whatever reason the leverage offered is not seen as a loan, so the ATO are fine with it. You just have to make sure ...

Should you choose to go down this path, once you have a real account they will give you a linked spot account. (ie. The margins do offset each other - there is no doubling up).

Remember you only lose that spread if you have to close them out before expiry. The spread is comparatively high in this case because they are so close to expiry (11 days). Guaranteed fills for many levels around the strike price & low margin ...

You wont find exactly what I have, because I have added several things to it to suit my own needs and broker. I'm not going to post it here, because last time I posted an indicator not everybody could get it to work, and I was flooded with IT ...

There's an indicator out there called "Standard Deviation Channel" or something along those lines.

Surely when you open your positions a few pips is better in your pocket than someone elses? Why would I sell for say 0.0050 when I know if I wait a few hours, assuming the price doesn't move, I should be able to sell exactly the same thing for say ...

Re point #3; I have noticed that the volatility usually increases enough around the UK open to cause the prices to increase by a few pips, and likewise prices are comparatively cheap during most of the Asian session. So, if you are not in any ...

I did exactly the same, except used stop orders, and traded it live for a while until I realised it wasn't doing much. The added little twist of using the previous bar's open might make it profitable. I was also using ATR to work out a recommended ...

Personally I'm not, but Saxo does allow FX options on the demo. Some of their white label partners don't. Ikon also works out the margins correctly, offsetting margins from spot & options, but their demo does not have the two accounts linked (in ...

Limit orders only work from a buyer's perspective. I tried to set limit orders in case sold positions went against me and I wanted to close the position, but it kept telling me that the price was already greater than the limit price I was attempting ...

Not sure if you're referring to scattergood or me? My answer is a resounding NO! I prefer to sleep at night. Aside from that complying with ASIC's requirements makes doing any form of business in Australia cost ineffective - guess I could move to ...

No, It is EXACTLY like that! I can't give a specific example, as I haven't being taking screenshots etc as I've been going. Generally, for example, I'm looking for a long tail on a candle at 2 std deviations from the linear regression point, and ...
