yea until they are down 40 pips, then its, "ok, 45 pips and im done..." lol its ok to be satisfied with a certain amount of pips I guess... I just don't like the word "goal". the only goal should be to not lose... take what it gives. Of course, this ...

Your Daily Pip Goal?

weren't we talking about daily minimum goals.... not daily maximum goals. Who sets a maximum goal???? And does your formula take into account compounding? and why are people saying to take time off when doing well?

Your Daily Pip Goal?

A daily "pip" goal or percentage goal is not essential at all in trading. If you rely on a daily pip goal, I doubt that will work out for you. I don't know of anyone that has a "daily" pip goal and is successful with that. A monthly percentage goal ...

Your Daily Pip Goal?

IMO, pip goals or % profit a day is a bad way to go about trading... in fact... horrible. Like many have stated, and I fully agree, it will cause more harm then good. It will cause your emotions to take over for not reaching your goal and cause you ...

Your Daily Pip Goal?

yes prorealtime is great as well for charting, heavier on system resource then that of oanda, but still pretty light and very good. Haven't tried netdania. CNX runs fantastic with no problems.

Good Broker for a linux user?

I am on linux using oanda's platform without problems. Though any java platform should work... you could try virtualbox running windows as a guest OS, so you can use standard windows apps if you need that for whatever broker. Worked well for me when ...

Good Broker for a linux user?

I'm a joke? you're a fool.

Best ECN

I see nothing wrong with MA's to help determine market sentiment (especially on longer TF's) and to help you see possible setups. I just think (IMO) that using them as signals for entry based on crosses, or as S/R is not smart... and all entries ...

100% profitable method - tight SL, and large TP

price action is price action. price is all you need. my charts are naked as in price line only. indicators?? who cares what banks are using on their charts, are you a bank trader or a retail trader? there is a big difference. smaller moves are ...

100% profitable method - tight SL, and large TP

yes, add fxopen to the list of shit ECN's as well, and what kind of ECN are they using? a joke.... I don't think you understood what I said... you are not going to get a good ECN broker with 1k, 3k, 5k startup capital. If you think those brokers are ...

Best ECN

oh, my bad. thanks for the correction. it was on the lower west side I think, I don't go there much either. I have only been to the actual ground area of the twin towers once, and that is after it dropped and all cleaned up. That area was smelling ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

25k startup?? no thanks, I'd take LCG CNX any day over that. vcaps institutional trading accounts require some hefty deposits... the likes of fcstone and such. They are no better then LCG. I think vcap used to be 250k startup, thats f'n crazy... why ...

Liquidus anyone?

ah ok. oh well...

Liquidus anyone?

looks cool... can you test it, see how execution and stuff? or is it basically just a live viewer?

Liquidus anyone?

I always wondered about vCap... never heard from anyone that used them, I have heard them recommended for futures trading though.

Liquidus anyone?

btw, pescador is right, oanda had technical problems with there platform and servers awhile ago. They definitely fixed a few things. Try them out.

Which is the best broker for scalping?

mt4 is a horrible scalping platform. I have no experience with fxopen but I would beware with an ECN broker that only takes 1k to startup. Are they charging commissions? It's most likely a market maker model. It might be STP, but incoming data can ...

Which is the best broker for scalping?

there spread is quite good as is their execution and platform. I am fine with them. What are those scalpers recommending? I can't see anything better for low equity traders, fxcm micro used to be ok, now... completely sucks. futures: I had the Mirus ...

Which is the best broker for scalping?

Scalping forex is not a waste of time, and very profitable. Scalping futures is a waste of time IMO. I have watched futures, not traded, but they are not as liquid, don't move as much, and spread and commissions are not as tight as the forex market ...

Which is the best broker for scalping?

scalping futures.. lol no thanks. i am not waiting seconds and liquidity is better in forex. all markets are risky and dangerous.
