Maybe it's because I have integrity and the broker asked me not to make the announcement before they do. Sorry if you're not happy about that. And, no, the information you provided is not correct. If it were, I wouldn't have a problem announcing ...

Brokers & Informations

Sure it is. So, I choose to not provide any information right now. Hopefully, there will be an announcement forthcoming.

Brokers & Informations

As I mentioned, I'm not allowed to talk about them right now. I'm waiting for the green light to mention anything. And, no, I'm not affiliated in any way with them, other than, like you, I'm excited an ECN will be providing MT4 support.

Brokers & Informations

CoesFX uses a company called CFGTrader to clear mini account transactions. CFGTrader does have a dealing desk. Anyone who offers minis MUST have a dealing desk. The interbank market only accepts standard lot orders. A broker needs to aggregate all ...

Brokers & Informations

1) There is one ECN that will soon support MT4. I'm not allowed to talk about it yet, but will post something when I can. 2) I've heard good things about most ECN's. You may have to deal with lower leverage, but, I think most are excellent options. ...

Brokers & Informations

I think there's a lot of discussion about the number of pips to gain without a lot of discussion as to trading probabilities. For me, discussing pips without a discussion of trading probability is fairly meaningless. If I had a system that generates ...

Pips rush

It doesn't matter whether you use a broker or ECN - they will all be able to see your trades. In fact, not only can they see your trades, they can mine your account history and look at your trading patterns and tendancies. Not that they do this now, ...

Can brokers see your trades?

Yes. But, that's not averaging down. That's reducing your risk exposure. It's not an equivalent comparison to say that I'm going to cut my position in half so that I can afford to average down if the need arises. In any case, the point is that you ...

Increasing size on a loosing position

I'm kind of wondering about this statement. This doesn't quite capture what I understood that actual practice of averaging down is about. What seems a bit off to me is that you're comparing a single 1 lot position to two half lot positions in your ...

Increasing size on a loosing position

I don't envy your role on the forum. You deal with it more than most. I was thinking about maybe another idea, too. What about an advanced category on the site that would be limited to individuals that prove their gusto, so to speak? If rules are ...

The Hat Trading Method

Hey Peter, I think Twoblink, myself, and others certainly understand what traders at various stages, particularly newer ones, go through. I still have my own demons to work out. I don't think this is an issue of sharing information or, rather, not ...

The Hat Trading Method

I just left interbankfx for fxdd. I'm pleased so far. Great spreads. I had some execution problems, but, it was the result of a configuration issue. They were very good about getting it fixed quickly, even calling me a couple times without my asking ...

Broker Down Again (Merged threads)

I know this is a bit late on this reply. I just received an email like this from a friend who uses FXCM. First, they heavily advertise 10 banks throughout the site, then, on the "Why PropFX" page, they inexplicably state: Also, their claim is that ...

Difference between ECN and retail broker?

TwoBlink, I'm with you. This is a great forum. But, members have to do their part. I'm seeing a lot of shortcuts trying to be taken by newbies. You are not going to become successful by taking shortcuts. Think of a lot of the traders on this forum ...

The Hat Trading Method

Man, I'd love those hours.

Who is up at 3am EST to trade?

The expert on the first post is the most recent one. You may want to grab that one and just set the "Use_Max_Loss" to false if you don't want to use that feature. OK. On the stop loss feature, there are 3 primary features. First, there's the ...

Who is up at 3am EST to trade?

I use it with all kinds of stuff, even NFP. It works great. Sometimes, I have to adjust my strategy, but, that isn't relevant for the expert - I just change the parameters as needed. For instance, during a volatile announcement, I might not want to ...

Here's a link to the expert. Sorry, it's on another forum. url

Who is up at 3am EST to trade?

It's already posted on this forum, I think. I'll take a look and update the thread with the newest code.

Who is up at 3am EST to trade?

I do what Palmer does. I'm on EST time, though, like you. Early on, I had a problem with waking up that I solved. My trading plan called for me to move my stops to B/E after +10 pips, then takeout profit at various points. I was hesitant to make ...
