And what was the wrong reason? I gave my opinion, you gave yours. Seems a bit off to presume one opinion is right and one is wrong. Facts yes, opinions no...but that's what makes the internet grand. People forget the difference between facts and ...

pki and HDA, Fair enough. Net-net, I don't visit forums for guidance or instruction, rather to garner ideas and see how others trade. I would never base trading decisions on what is posted here or elsewhere, those must come from within, and I just ...

EURUSD

We can quibble over semantics and motivation, I just found the post full of hubris and ego. I agree, HDA is an asset, but the problem is, he seems to force his viewpoint, and maybe it is just out of genuine care for new traders. He successfully ...

As long as the market moves, money can be made. It's up to each participant to determine how to make that money. If you believe what your wrote above, then just do the opposite, see how that goes. But no, it's not a scam, money can be made, there ...

HDA, Nobody is arguing that you were correct, nor that short was the easiest trade direction, nor that other's traded the long side. What some feel is that you come across as stubborn and unyielding to other points of views. I made money on the long ...

EURUSD

Agree 100% and I would add that nobody should use this forum, or any other, to learn how to trade. The ONLY way to learn to trade is put money in a live account and watch, test, hypothesize, journal, rinse and repeat. Nobody here can convey the ...

Going insane here. Anybody that had erroneous commission charges in the PFL system, please double check your reports. I, once again, did the math and found MBT has not fully fixed the issue. It appears they only refunded the incorrect commission ...

Be sure to double check your statements concerning these corrections. I did, and they only refunded the commission but did NOT pay the rebate for adding liquidity. I may be mistaken, but as far as I can tell, this is the case. Additionally, they did ...

Nothing, except shutting up anybody who doubts your abilities...or give them more firepower. End of the day, those that get it, get it, those that don't, don't. I was just saying, if I was the shyt trader and peeps came at me, I'd start a Trade ...

I too was thinking about % gains after X period, but it would lead to unrealistic trading...like any stock picking contest etc. Would require months of day-in, day-out trading to prove the winner. Much like the 100X challenge, most would just ...

Probably because its objective and the truth hurts. Funny thing is, all these 'pros' could go head to head and settle the "Who swings the biggest kock?" contest once and for all. Would I join, hellz no, I'm just a micro-lot smuck who disdains ...

Intu, Not a pro here, but the following may help. 1) Free EXN and PFL are two totally different systems and therefore could have slightly different prices, especially during fast markets. Spread may also be different. 2) I think I read somewhere ...

Slow Execution — Justin, You asked for examples of slow execution, so here you go...BUT this may be all news related as it occurred during ADP #'s. If so, then lesson learned for me... Okay, hopefully this goes in order, images numbered 01 to ...

It's all relative, compare url with url That is to say the US is at least growing, very, very slowly, while Europe is at all time worse levels. Also, ADP is often way off...Wait until government NFP to get the true move...

fxreporter, This line of thought matches Justin's data fairly close. His argument has been a change in liquidity and volatility leading to less fills. I am coming to that conclusion as well and have adapted my trading to match the current market. ...

Jinks, No idea, but there was concern a while back that MBT would not release who their LPs are. I could care less, I guess, haven't really pondered the ramifications. My naive assumption was that they set up liquidity agreements with various LPs ...

For those that wonder why I am an MBT Fan Boy, this is why. Taking time to write a thoughtful, complete, and honest response to abundant criticism shows that MBT works to help me/us, the consumer, rather than yield to their own profitability or the ...

THANKS!

Fantastic, this is the kind of information that helps everyone! Many, many thanks! You have surely enlightened me. And you also support Justin's thought that it's the markets that have changed in last 6 months with respect to general market ...

TraderJi, I think you may have over-extended the analysis a bit, but overall, bingo. 1.) LP's can be on both systems, but they must be more active and 'tighter' on the Free EXN as that was a pre-requisite. On PFL, they don't have to be as active as ...
