Just hearing her/his/it's name makes me lol. I still have the text file with her best posts. BTW: "Jacko" just got stopped out for another 100 pips, wondering how the anti hedge is gonna work

Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain

As I understand you doubled 1600 to 3200, and again 3200 to 6400. This is an interest of 300%. 4 weeks = 20 trading days. 20 trading days*6 trades on average a day=120 trades. If each one of your trades was a winner (100% win ratio), you would have ...

NZD/USD — I'm long already off the 4/8hr pinbar. Yes there is traffic on the left but the location is too good to ignore imo. A tight trade management will be applied.

IB spreads are tighter than Mbtrading

Thanks. MT4 is IMO way better. The demo of IB's TWS seems to show old recorded quotes (1,30) lol. And the charting is very crappy, I only get 1 candlestick.

IB spreads are tighter than Mbtrading

So I have just downloaded the IB trader workstation Java. But mine doesn't look anything like yours (see attachment). Did yours look like this too? If so, how did you change the look?

IB spreads are tighter than Mbtrading

It doesn't seem to be a possibility within MT4 as the charts are "fixed" into the program. Many stock trading platforms like MBT Pro which I have a demo for at the moment have the option to "unfix" a chart and drag it where you want it to have. So ...

To Craig and other who use the IB API. I was just reading this blog and it seems like there are many questions/unclarity about the API using TWS. This makes me doubt the user-friendliness of it. There are two access methods for the IB API. One is ...

I know I'm way too early, but a close like this would be much appreciated. Nice confluence with the .88 level. I'm sure I'll get an amen from Ghous for this IPB

It can happen pretty often that you miss out on an entry. The best way to prevent it is by simple placing a pending order. But in case you miss anyway, the best thing is to wait for price to come back. You will be surprised how often there comes a ...

I was just about to post about this setup. The trendline is great, there is confluence with the 1.27 round number. Also there is divergence to support the bar. But the fact is there is a hell lot of traffic to the left of the bar and on the daily ...

On my chart it's looking even less significant. I will skip it. But the USD/CAD was a nice one Earlier in the week I played the GBP/USD IPB. I took the second one which got stopped out soon after the entry. The first IPB prior to the one I took ...

I have found Richard Wilson from hedgefundblogger.com very helpful for people who want to set up a hedge fund. He has lots of good tips.
