yes but which brokers? — Hi, I need an MT4 broker demo account that does not require margin if the positions are hedged. I know FXDD allows this but the demo expires after 3 or 4 months according to the web site. do you know of any brokers ...

What actually happens when an MT4 demo expires?

works fine for me — I just saved it in the ..\experts\indicators folder and then restarted metatrader. then I opened custom indicators on the left side of the screen (navigator window) and dropped it onto a chart I know this is obvious, but ...

Having a difficult time downloading mq4 files

Pip Samurai, thanks for the checklist... it is longer than my grocery list for tomorrow! really it is good to have all that info condensed into a single post. Yeah, I really don't like those brokers that charge interest but don't pay. I wish I could ...

yes, sure I read your post. It is a good post. It's just that what you mentioned there was not really what I was asking about... so I tried to clarify my question. But I did appreciate the response. I have a certain style of trading where it is more ...

Belgium — Hi Sidus, just some added info to your post (in case anyone else is curious about your statement): from the deloitte "Belgium International Tax and Business Guide": Individuals’ capital gains on the sale of securities are tax-exempt ...

I don't want to pay tax

when did tax law make any sense? — I hear that this is indeed the case (only tax on withdrawals) in some countries (like South Africa apparently) but I suspect in most high-tax countries that they want taxes every year. but I don't know ...

I don't want to pay tax

Hi Mr. M, my questions are just to try and make sense of what I read in the forums. It seems like there are a number of brokers who will let you trade just fine for a few months and then after that they start monkeying with you (if you are doing ...

1:400 + fixed spread + news trading

but I thought that certain brokers always try to shut you down if you make consistent profits (at least from news trading)? I am especially confused about FXCM in particular, whether they try to shut down all profitable news traders or just those ...

do the Canadians do this on purpose?

Trading the Core PCE on 9/29

does anyone have a list of which brokers have these "rules and policies" also? once you are consistent at making money, they do everything to prevent you from making it? and perhaps with descriptions of what they do also... e.g. false spikes, ...

MT4 Text to Speech Indicator?

hi, not really sure what you are talking about... it's been a while since I've tried other platforms. hopefully someone else reading this can help you out.

Can I detach charts ?

I don't understand what you are asking, but maybe with a transparency tool you could then overlay the metatrader window on top of some other program. or vice versa. e.g. http://www.actualtools.com/transparentwindow/ also, it is not possible in MT4 ...

Can I detach charts ?

stick it in the mt4 experts folder or experts\indicators folder (depending on whether it is an expert or an indicator) and restart MT4. then you can select it from expert advisors or custom indicators in the Navigator window of MT4. if you want to ...

Why can't I view mq4 files?

I think you are stuck with whatever your broker offers. If you want to see symbols that aren't there, then use a demo from another MT4 broker with a wider range of symbols. You can get stock indices with some brokers, but I don't think you can get ...

How to add new symbol

No — but you can run multiple copies of MT4... just install them into different directories with different windows program groups. I used to have 6 monitors, now I'm down to just 2 of the 19" inchers... I'm more happy this way... but I had to ...

Does MT4 supports multi-monitor

I guess this depends on what the market is doing after someone starts a demo.

Success with Demo Account

thanks, that's what I thought. I need to get into the habit of saving the statements at least every friday.
