Limitations on backtesting, is this a problem with MT4?

If you get the right info early on you can do it in only a few months...the problem is most get the wrong info and learn the wrong things, finding the right info is only half of the battle however this can save you years. Putting that info to work ...

I agree 100%, different stroked for different folks lol. It's not necessarily the style but YOUR fit to that style and how you trade it and manage it. People can argue all day long which is more profitable; scalping, short term or long term trading ...

Scalpers make more

Your in the green so that's a plus

lol I used to program for a living too, simple Print statements with the output window are usually good enough for anything you will write in NT, we're not writing high end software here lol

do you have to be a programmer?

I agree, a good scalper can earn 4-10% a day with 100:1 leverage sometimes more sometimes less. I know people will come on here and say "not possible", "prove it", or "you can't keep that up" now we wait lol...

Scalpers make more

I couldn't have said it better

That's great, like I said what I mentioned is just hearsay I don't know first hand with Oanda as I only have a demo with them. Do you ever get slipped with them and if so how much and how often? Just curious. Thanks

Scalping and Brokers

True, Oanda works well, personally I just don't like the interface etc. However I have read stories that when you are flagged for being profitable with them your orders start getting slipped, I don't know this 100% to be true just hearsay.

Scalping and Brokers

ECN style, market makers lose money with scalpers....well not all but the bucket shop ones do
