So true. I hate that platform. All these traders would serve themselves better by going to a broker with an option of a much better platform.

Stop-Hunting Question

Again I'm in agreement. This really isn't true stop hunting. The one's who do hunt stops are not the borkers, but the banks and handful of big players. And they are not after any minor retail trader. The retail trader just ends up as collateral ...

Stop-Hunting Question

I'm not saying all borkers do this, but it still happens. And you are correct. In this day and age, their really is no stop hunting by the borkers, other than some of the things I mentioned. And certain borkers do widen their spreads some at certain ...

Stop-Hunting Question

This is why they do allow less than mini accounts. One thing most traders do not understand, is that anything less than 10,000 units (mini) is handled in house. All those 0.05, 0.10, 0.02, and so forth trades never see the light of day. They are ...

Right there is the gist of all these various methods. I'm of the belief that they are used by people who truly do not know how to trade in the first place and use them to eek out that meager profit. A total waste of time and energy.

Basic indicators do and have worked for ages. But not flawlessly. When people mention "custom" indicators they are usually inferring a superior indicator. Trend and Consolidation. That's all there is. Those 50 pip drops more than likely occurred in ...
