You can trade manually, no problem. The EA would just handle the stop-loss part (and the take profit if you want). And yes, you would a need a VPS (a virtual private server) where this EA would run, even when your PC is shut off (this just costs a ...

Broker that triggers buy stop at bid price & fills at ask?

You can easily achieve this kind of stop loss with MT4 using an EA. Your stop loss will be at the same time totally hidden from your broker. You will need a VPS to host this EA.

Question About Leverage

There's absolutely no need to justify yourself, it was to answer your question of the "benefit" of someone having a myfxbook account: Sharing, communicating, social interaction, and so on.... And there's probably some "ego" too: Showing your success ...

You would pay 10 pips for 1 million, but pips based on 100K. You can't multiply the number of pips AND the amount you calculate those pips on, means commission would increase ^2 At least I assume, but totally agree it's very badly presented. It must ...

Safest broker to trade a million dollars with

That's a 100% correct question in theory. In practice, things are a little bit more complex. I would answer you: "The same way that writing 5564 posts on FF" (your actual count)

Won't work from almost every "high tax" country as they will consider the bvi company tax resident in the high tax country if you live there, because of the place of "central management". One step is missing: take a flight to another more tax ...

That's just pure made up nonsens. 0,4% If it's official numbers, just provide us a link ... Numbers of positive accounts are approx. beetween 30 and 45% depending on brokers. Someone provided a link to forexmagnates with the CFTC stats just ...

US broker = limited choice Check out Oanda. I wouldn't rate their swaps as "very good", but not too bad. Now with the currencies and the trade sizes you're using, you should definitely consider to switch to the futures market (GLOBEX). It's where ...

US broker with excellent swap rates?

Your thought is mainly correct if YOU use a 1:10 leverage, not if a BROKER allows you a 1:10 leverage. It would be like you are stating if you didn't have any margin requirement and the broker was closing your position(s) when your account reach 0, ...

Question About Leverage

If you're not a US citizen/US resident, ask Oanda to move your account to the UK, you won't have this forms to fill, and you will enjoy leveraged metals trading and CFDs...

Are forms W-8 & W-9 important - what are they for?

You're right, spreads seem to have been reduced. They probably lowered their profit margin to try to keep customers because of recent problems !?

OANDA Down?

I just chatted with support. I didn't receive the email (read it here) and they say they only sent it to people concerned, so those who haven't used paypal and FxPense won't receive it., and are suposed to be unaffacted. They claim that the 2 events ...

OANDA Down?

Kfx, just saw again our title. You want standard lots of 100K, and really the possibility of selecting 0.0001 lot ? Because I'm afraid Metatrader is unable to do this. So you would have to search only the brokers with another platform than MT4.

Brokers working with units and 0.0001 minimum units size

1 standard lot usually refers to 100.000 units of the currency 10.000 units of the currency = 0.1 lot = 1 mini-lot 1000 units of the currency = 0.01 lot = 1 micro-lot 0.0001 = 10 units of the currency It's often refered as "cent accounts", where ...

Dchristi, it is exactly what I said. Maybe not very clearly in my first post, reason why I tried to clarify after your answer. I invite you to read again, posts are just one page from here. Anyway, you can definitely put your account "on hold" until ...

OANDA Down?

I am a Oanda customer, of course. "stay, or leave right now" Exactly: Stay and see, or leave right now. It seems (TO ME!) to be the only 2 things to do. You choose a third one (?): Ask for more explanations and more details. Why not, it's your ...

OANDA Down?

It may be strange, yes. Most probable explanation is that internet connection failed where their servers are hosted, but they have a direct link to (at least one of) their liquidity provider(s) which continued to work (as their servers). Would make ...

OANDA Down?

We globally agree, but what I meant is that their statement: "OANDA's primary Internet Service Provider (ISP) experienced an outage and as a result our platform lost internet connectivity" is enough explanation. You know what happened. More details ...

OANDA Down?

You're welcome The funny thing is that usually someone able to "back it up" doesn't have this kind of behavior. In fact, most successful traders are usually the most humble (and often discreet) About sharing and the humiliation of loosing ...
