Martingale can actually work if you apply an edge and spread the trades out properly. You have to clearly define the equity TP and SL (if you choose to use one). But it works best with a basket trading approach, which martingale is anyway. You don't ...

Does the martingale system really work?

I heard TS really pissed off a lot of people back then. It helped spawn what is now MultiCharts. Did you ever use it? A lot of people, while they may not agree with TS's business practices, still appreciate one of their main selling points: long ...

EliteTrader would probably be a better place to get more exposure to TradeStation users from a non-TS owned forum. They just recently dwelved into forex within their own platform. FF is more geared towards mt4. But I, too would be interested in an ...

TradeStation for trading forex?

Not yet trading mt5 in real account. But I have tried porting over custom indicators. mt5 uses more ram. I would expect it to use more, but even with only 1 chart with little historical data (2000 bars in chart), it can still use up 80-100MB. On the ...

Metatrader 4 vs Metatrader 5!

url and url are good summaries. In fact, the entire thread is dedicated to finding brokers outside USA. I admire the intent, but people are trying to figure out how to shorten the longer, complicated path to setting up an account instead of just ...

+1. The pay for limits was permanent. But the incentive price $1.95 per qualified limit order was a promotional deal to launch the product. It was a lot of risk on their part as the program could have been a total flop. Now that they've perfected ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

you could go with multicharts and group the charts together so that the cursors match on each chart. As you move the crosshair on one chart, the crosshair on the other linked charts will follow for the same time. But as previous poster hinted, ...

What platform has tick by tick (multiple chart filling) data replay?

The problem with the OP question is very common: How do you define risk? There needs to be a clear definition of how to define risk and how to to go about entering and exiting trades. This free cost averaging spreadsheet aims to clarify this ...

Need simple excel sheet/program for risk calculation please
