Not really. A lot of people don't even look at what the news says. I tested out Trade the News. It was pretty good. I think what they do is have people sit in front of a bloomberg terminal. When the news comes out, they read it and you listen in as ...

Actual indicators?

I think you're not getting much of an answer because, really, it doesn't matter what settings you use. The trick to trading in Forex is to develop a system you can trade, with your own rules. What that implies is that you learn the behavior of price ...

Unfortunately, the only way you can get this information at the speed you desire is to buy a subscription to Bloomberg - which is quite expensive. You can also try url , which is a tad bit slower. But, you're not going to get economic announcements ...

Actual indicators?

That's an interesting way to keep track of volatility. It would give a good indication for timing account transfers. Keeping 2000 pips available is a nice idea. It sure does cut into the amount of cash you tie up, though. I'm having trouble ...

You know, there has to be a way to do this so that you are hardly ever refreshing. I bet you could set up a process where you have funds in reserve. When you get close to margin on one account, you wire the funds to one and take funds out of the ...

Here's the gross monthly return for each, assuming 5 lots on each side and refreshing 2 times per month: GBPJPY: 2.66% GBPCHF: 1.59% USDJPY: 3.15% Even if you refreshed JPY 5 times a month, you're looking at a monthly return of 2.13%. The other ...

See, now. Why did you have to go and shatter my excitement?

No, I think I did. D22*c7*d7*2 d22=trades per month (4) c7=pip cost (8.52) d7=spread 2 = do this on both accounts Hmm. OK. I think you're right.

making (a little) money off interest

I really don't see why anyone would want to run an EA on a mobile platform. The idea of an EA is that you want it "always on". The idea of a mobile system is that you want it "on and off, anywhere." If I had a really good EA, I'd run it on a VPS ...

The liquidity I'm referring to is not a general economic or financial markets liquidity. Remember, as retail traders, we only trade within a microcosm of the broader foreign exchange market. Couple that with the well known fact that every August ...

Spreads and Slippage

I setup a demo using the MetaQuotes feed and was able to go back to february 2005 on a 15 minute chart. MetaTrader is kind of cool because you can get a demo without having to go to each vendor's site and downloading a seperate installation. One ...

Is MT4 the only one to....

I checked MetaQuotes' demo server and it goes down to 17. As for the comment that prices don't differ by 1-4 pips, well, that's crazy talk. Prices can vary by a lot more than that. Think about it, this is an interbank market. If there are 15 huge ...
