Well stated Brunite! Your analogy was spot on. The same goes for picking crabs. Welcome to Forex Factory.

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

My bad for thinking you meant money management. MM is often used as an abbreviation for money management and since you had just used that word and followed with MM i wrongly made the connection. For all I know it could have stood for mickey mouse. ...

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

HUH? IBFX is a broker, not a money manager nor do they employ money management. That's your job and since you've professed your prowess as a money manager elsewhere you should know the difference. If a broker screws you over 1 day then shame on ...

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

With all due respect, and I do enjoy your posts, there are no obvious signs of any market reaction surrounding the coup in Thailand.

It's called a Riemann Sum. Here is an explanation: http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/4/riemann_sums.4/

FXDD/Oanda spread

Well you did say it could go up, down, or stay the same. Good call on this one.

The ISM Report for January 3, 2007

Yes, there are different kinds of margin but I hope this is what you were asking. As a rule of thumb, 1 mini per $1000 is very responsible when it comes to position sizing.

Leverage question

OK, I'm drinking but it's Jan 3rd in Japan. I googled their holidays and didn't see anything.

Quiet?

The smartass answer is that you are trading 200:1. I'm guessing you didn't mean this as a trick question so I'm assuming you want to know how much margin you've used. On a mini account at 100:1 you set aside $100. At 200:1 you are setting aside ...

Leverage question

What holiday is it? I might have a drink on their behalf.

Quiet?

I would never want to defend FXCM but they could have easily justfied filling you at 1.3242. The fact that they honored a stop when price gapped through in not commonplace. That being said, I do feel bad for you but am glad that it was an ...

There was massive bearish divergence 1000 pips ago as well (june-july '06)

eur/jpy due for a 700-800pip correction?

You made a huge rookie error and it only cost you 11 pips. I would suggest that you benefitted from this. Leaving an open order over a holiday lengthened 3 day weekend was not wise. Had this been the GBPUSD they could have easily and legitimately ...

Problem with Broker

I've traded the same system for 3 years now. Systems don't have to fail. You can design them with a level of adaptivity that allow them to adjust to market conditions. Not all systems perform well in all markets. To combat that you need to have an ...

how often do you change your system?

It's really a question of how much you are willing to risk to make those $20. Don't forget, in most cases, the interest you recieve won't even cover the spread you paid to enter the position. You might also consider that price doesn't have to move ...

GBPJPY and EURJPY

A pip is calculated by dividing the smallest increment for a given currency by the current exchange rate. Using the GBPJPY as an example you would get: 0.01/233.18 = 0.0000428 This is expressed in terms of the base currency which in this case is the ...

GBPJPY and EURJPY

Hey, I'm not knocking you for using pivots. If they work for you then that's great. One question though: when does the day start in a 24 hour market?

Pivot point spot strategy

An inordinate number of posts on this forum are about fraud, deceit, manipulation, and general distrust of brokers. Now you are going to believe the order book that they publish? I think you would be better off concentrating on you vs. the market ...
