Can I control my main PC using a 2nd and 3rd computer?

GP, I think your strategy is the right one, basically do the work yourself. I recently opened a demo account with IC Markets and whilst their spreads were excellent (negative some of the time!), the fact I couldn't work stop limit orders was the ...

IC Markets

You know something? Every broker review on pretty much every well trafficked board is pretty pointless now because it's impossible to sort the wheat from the chaff. Take this thread as a good example. You've got people saying this broker is ...

Is it me but or had anyone else noticed that so far this month liquidity in all the main crosses has been really thin and skittish? August wasn't bad for liquidity when it's traditionally thin, but Sep so far is bad (for liquidity). CAD is one of my ...

Then why not use some of it to help people less fortunate to 'survive' and help their general 'well being'. Look, I'm not saying cars/watches/houses are bad things, but if having more and then wanting even more is one's motivation you're not going ...

A Little Something To Motivate You

You're right, staring/concentrating at the charts all day is hard, but the good money is in the 1m-5m chart. Good moves peculate in the 1m/5m every day, but they they often take time to set up and for the the market to change 'character' which is ...

Anyone got any good concentration tips/ideas/strategies

Surprised everyone focuses on the clichés of money, look at me narcissist cars and the like. With big money comes big responsibility and the REAL chance of helping others via giving some, or a lot of it, away. Believe me, when you have 3+ flash cars ...

A Little Something To Motivate You

Thanks Mark, you gave a lot of really solid strategies for this game. No doubt you helped many traders.

RIP Mark Douglas

I think you'e right, it's all there on the chart. This is basically what I've been doing looking at the chart, but sometimes when I lose concentration I miss things so was looking for some simple indicator where I could add an alarm etc. As ever ...

What's a good volatility contraction indicator?

Just thought I'd reply to make this the 50,001 post! So has anyone come to a conclusion yet? Is technical analysis a fallacy or not?

More Bruce Lee (slightly adjusted for trading) A good trader does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When your opponent expands, you contract. When he contracts, you expand. When there is an ...

Question asked of Bruce Lee: What is the highest technique you hope to achieve? Lee's answer: To have no technique.

What is your secret and edge?

The great Bruce Lee told us all what to do many years ago - "Empty your mind, be shapeless and formless". Seriously, study his work and what he said (he was so much more than a Hollywood martial artist/actor). His main points are all to do with ...

What is your secret and edge?

26. Don't try and be a hero. Remember the old saying 'pioneers have arrows in their backs'. What I've found really useful is to WAIT for the move (some good action where you know traders have been FORCED into doing something) then trade the REACTION ...

What is your secret and edge?

Trades like the above, CANNOT be programmed because the market is a moving beast with too much emotion. THE best chance all of us have is NOT to go down the system route. The markets are like the weather, there are probably a BILLION variables , a ...

What is your secret and edge?

On re-test trades. Price OFTEN acts EXACTLY the same way AFTER a re-test (especially on short trades). Learn to identify those moves and jump on board. Look to cover on the THRUST move back down (assuming short), wait be patient because it's coming ...

What is your secret and edge?

Here's what I mean by change of character. The chart is CAD-USD. FXCM using Ensign offers all the pairs in reverse so I look at both USD-CAD and the reverse because I can spot longs so much easier. If I get a 'long' trade on CAD-USD I then short ...
