Hi Scalper I can't see why client's transferring funds between accounts would be anything less than perfectly straightforward, I'm sure IB wouldn't entertain anything which wasn't.

Client fund safety? Broker going out of business

There are probably quite a few although I seem to remember reading somewhere that forex was exempt from SiPC protection. Wasn't it Interactive Brokers who devised some unique way of 'sweeping' excess funds from FX clients accounts and putting it in ...

Client fund safety? Broker going out of business

Too many people make authoritative sounding statements on trading forums but then can't substantiate them when asked questions......

Beyond systems and psychology

I suppose there's some kind of warped logic in there somewhere although I'm not sure about "it really doesn't matter if you have a $100K account or a $10K account because of leverage"!

Beyond systems and psychology

The best way to convince people is to show them! “Hic Rhodus, hic salta!”

Beyond systems and psychology

Yes of course, you made $1 profit every week, consistently. Well if you're making money from trading then you are a successful trader. In fact that may be a great return, we can't say because you didn't mention any other figures. That's the problem, ...

Times to trade?

Illiquid volatile periods probably wouldn't be the best times to fine tune entries on shorter time frames but trading off a daily chart you're going to be immune from intraday 'noise' and the markets short-term reaction to fundamentals to a certain ...

Times to trade?

Different game. While the subject might be interesting, knowing or understanding the structure and mechanics of the underlying market isn't really going to help small retail traders become profitable. It's been discussed ad infinitum on this and ...

Any of 'em....until you start trading size and start making money!

Need help on choosing reliable broker for scalping

MFE/MAE analysis

I think there are still a few professional gamblers with winning gambling systems around but like forex the majority pay for the minority. Why do losers keep returning? Either they enjoy the entertainment/excitement, or more likely they live in hope ...

Once you can trade profitably are you rich?

Dunno really, looks like the MAE is the biggest drawdown a trade had while it was open, and the MFE is the biggest gain it had while it was open, it shouldn't be too hard to calculate. A more interesting question would be what do you intend to do ...

MFE/MAE analysis

I'm a noob, what's an MAE and an MFE please?

MFE/MAE analysis

"Use the force, Luke!", pvpn said it not me, I was just repeating it! You know for all the interesting and academic-sounding stuff posted on this thread I still can't escape the fact that there isn't one practical demonstration of this theory ...

I must admit it is beginning to sound a bit like someone else mentioned, "Feel the Force, Luke!", or something out of a kung fu B-movie! I can believe ESP in some things but in financial markets? Really?
