You don't sleepwalk, do you? Hehe, I hope that was a software bug, otherwise I don't know, sounds creepy what you had there.

Actually, banks don't make good money trading, most banks actually lose. Citigroup, according to the now older book New Market Wizards has lost money trading. Today through HFT, they probably make lots of money, but that's not long ago that banks ...

I find fxTrade became much more stable lately. I remember it crashing during news very often in December. It is still slower than MT4 (I have them open side by side) during high volatility like news, but it does not crash any more. Apart from the ...

Just as you did, I could as easily ask why 1 hour and not 4? There is no way to rationalize forex. If H4 works better than H1, then this is what you use. I don't know if it does in our case here, I have not and will not test it, but there is no ...

You can't avoid ranges. You just have to suffer a drawdown. Last two weeks were for example horrible for my account, I lost about 15 times in a row (with two wins inbetween). That happenes maybe once in a few years. And because I risk a little less ...

I am not a professional, but I always scale up. You phantom of the pit! The way I understand the rule is that even by scaling up with the same trade value your initial position will be closed. Whoever made this rule should be drowned in a barrel ...

I ran recently into barrier with the 50:1 leverage (which I thought I never would). I was averaging up heavily on one trade having another two trades open (which is rare that I have three trades open), but I had "insufficient funds" pop up and I saw ...

hmmm, I just logged in and I see the credit card option. Since when do they have it? By the way, fxTrade now has a news tab up there. Don't know, if it's always been there.

For one year of backtest for M15 chart, it happened only 3 times that a spike hit my SL. In live trading this year since January, it happened only once during Japan disaster this year. My minimum SL is about 20 pips on EURUSD. Today, I used a 25 pip ...

You do really have something against stop losses xD Since markets are proven to be random (because anything can happen any second), I prefer better to lose rather than have my account blown. But, you have, what, 100% winning chance? I lose 50% of ...

I have slippage on every trade. My bounds are 0.3 pips and most of the time I have to press the Send button twice. But to be honest, if you order gets slipped, it is usually a good trade, indicating that which way it slipped there is less money on ...

Did anyone notice that very often the platform works, but orders never get filled (it says on the order pop up something like "communicating with the server.."). When that happenes, nothing works! You can open pop ups etc, but the Platform is as if ...
