I personally like to think in terms of pips and generally I would think most new potential retail traders do the same. The reason for this is that they want to replace the income from working for a living by trading forex and their start up capital ...

:: Pips are not what counts ::

Hi Scooby, It's not my computer never had that problem, I will check it on my laptop to see if it happens on that too. This never happened on the demo. You do get requotes on the demo and invalid price but not freezing. Some times I think that the ...

Who used Alpari UK broker?

Hi 8fingers, I agree with magic chance, the point is to test the platform under every condition. You have been given the money to trade with to test the platform not your strategy. If it was me I would be over trading to test all conditions even if ...

FXCM Micro Account Trading Environment Test

Hi Whiteshell, I am using this broker live for the last 6 weeks as I live in the UK. I do not have any experience of other brokers but Alpari for me are not good. Re quotes are very common and at times when there is no news and liquidity should be ...

Strategy of losers

I believe that if you truly want to become a trader you have to want it badly... whatever that takes, for me it is the only thing I really want to do. I used to sit at a computer doing drawings for 8 hours a day and have to put up with office ...

Isnt a service career more satisfying then trading?

Why do losers lose? It’s a simple question, but to find the answers hasn’t been easy. Ignore the Mark Douglas bullsh*t, ignore the threads of why 95% of people lose (all guesswork and seriously uninformed), and to find the truth you’ve got to ...

Strategy of losers

buying now — Hi Guys, I have been watching this pair just keep going up and was waiting for a decent retracement to go long, but every time I wake up it's gone up even more so I just thought best just to jump on board, then of course, it goes ...

nice idea... — Hi Forex Saint, I think a lot of traders have thought about this idea, and it is one that I think 'may' work given significant testing. But, I think that reversing the signals from a losing EA will eventually fail too. Unless ...

Trading Based on Reversing Theory....Testing ON

options — Quote from Darkster Not to be a stickler for accuracy, but this isn't orderflow trading. All your doing is commenting on market mechanics. I have read most of Darkstar's posts and if we want to try and emulate what he is doing we ...

example — Since watching the video of Sam Seidon I have set up my charts with areas of supply and demand. I have attached an example of retail sellers getting in the market and the big guys happy to exchange the trades. Institutions are ...

nice thread — If I could trade the daily charts and have lots of spare time I would take my laptop and trade myself around the world. What a wonderful life that would be, not sure it's possible but that's my goal Cheers J
